The Georgia Bulldogs run one of the NCAA’s most effective pro-style offenses. In an era of College Football where so many teams prefer to go either no-huddle or spread the field with four even five wide receivers at times, Mark Richt’s Dawgs have no problem taking direct snaps under center.
Georgia has premier talent at tailback on their roster in 2015. Mark Richt has shown that he can recruit the best pocket passers in the country (Matthew Stafford, Aaron Murray, and now Jacob Eason). The Dawgs return four of five starters on a very underrated offensive line.

The Georgia Bulldogs are up there with Stanford University for claiming Tight End University out of the amount of talent both schools put out at that position. Even with Tony Ball leaving to go coach the Bayou Bengals down in Baton Rouge, former UGA RBs Coach Bryan McClendon replaces Ball to give the Dawgs some bite in the vertical passing game.

Even with the loss of OC Mike Bobo to the Colorado State Rams HC gig, Mark Richt was able to pry former St. Louis Rams OC Brian Schottenheimer away from the NFL and into the SEC. The offense of the Georgia Bulldogs has been prolific in the Mark Richt Era, particularly since Matthew Stafford won the starting quarterback job in 2006.
Georgia should have another strong offensive season even with a few new faces on the coaching staff. The Dawgs benefit from having major contributors at each position group on their offense. Heading into 2015, here are who I see as the five best offensive players Mark Richt and Brian Schottenheimer have on their roster.
