2023 CFB Preview Series - University of Georgia (UGA)

The ‘CFB Preview Series’ is an annual production we distribute as a build-up to the season. Each school we cover is given an interview with a super fan of said program where we break down the prior football season, recruiting, roster and schedule predictions. This year we will also be providing written content for a quick-hitting overview of what we expect to see from each team. Breeze, Pump and Unc Shay will collaborate on these to provide Impact Players, Keys to Success, and Record Predictions.

Overview: Has Georgia overtaken Alabama as the standard in college football? That seems to be the biggest question surrounding the program after the Dawgs have won back-to-back SEC and National Championships in dominant fashion. Kirby Smart has taken a perennially good program and turned it into the big dog on campus (pun intended) by way of premier high school recruiting, state-of-the-art facilities, player development, in-game execution and NFL draft pick output. There has not been a 3-peat National Champion since Minnesota accomplished this in the 1930s but Georgia looks poised to what no other team has in nearly a 100 years!

Impact Players:

Breeze

Offense – Sedrick Van Pran

Defense – Nazir Stackhouse

Pump

Offense – Brock Bowers

Defense – Smael Mondon Jr

Unc Shay

Offense – Brock Bowers

Defense – Malachi Starks

Keys to Success

Breeze – Stop the run. When UGA makes teams one dimensional offensively they win.

Pump – Offensive line success. They need to keep quarterback and first-time starter Carson Beck upright and confident.

Unc Shay – Quarterback play. If Carson can efficiently get the ball to Brock Bowers and the other playmakers this offense will hum.

Record Predictions

Breeze – 12-0 and College Football Playoff appearance

Pump – 12-0 and back in the Natty

Unc Shay – 11-1
