This is a pro GS article by a pro GS writer on a pro UGA website. True GS did prove some things last year. But there are still things to be proven by GS if UGA is to be a serious championship contender. Not sure a duplication of QB play from last year will be enough to get UGA over the top.

As for the CBS writer's article, he probably watched the 2 AL games and the MS playoff game (like every CFB fan) and spent 5 mins looking at GS '25 stats to draw his conclusions.

What we saw from GS last year was a guy that could help his team at times running the football. What we didn't see from GS last year was a QB that consistently could utilize the TE position. We didn't see a QB that could consistently find his secondary receivers and get them the ball. We didn't see a QB that consistently utilized the entire field.

38% of GS pass attempts were within 5 yards of the LOS and only 13% of GS's pass attempts were beyond 20 yards of the LOS. All of the above must improve this season.

Consider this. About 1/3 of GS total passing yards in '25 went to ZBranch. And most of ZBranch's receiving yards were RAC yards.

GS has a lot to prove about his downfield passing ability.

the defense got a TD for Gunner and the offense still couldn’t score enough to win. Just because I’m not a Gunner and Bobo apologist doesn’t make me anti-dawg

@MontanaDawg - I hear ya. I think two things are important in looking at those numbers: 1) our play calling was poor for half the game; & 2) lack of a pass rush helped Chambliss who’s good enough without any help to put a hurting on a defense.
Having said that, I’ve read enough of your posts to know you are an excellent observer of the game. Your point, as usual, has validity but it doesn’t tell the whole story. In fact, I think that together we have hit the nail on the head.
