Forgot about Gurshall. UGA may actually have a very good offense, I just have no clue who their QB is or what he is capable of.

The bright spot is that LSU's defense should be replenished well now and therefore there should not be as large a need for points as last year.

Too many wildcards here, especially before the spring games. Just to look at the top offensese from last year:
Auburn has the system, but 1) people have had a year to figure it out; and 2) losing Robinson and Mason hurts. So who knows? How much of TAMU's offense is system and how much isn't? And they are losing three pivotal players (Manziel, Evans, Matthews.) LSU will need time to develop, especially after losing their starting QB. Plus, I'm still not entirely sold on Cam. He seems to be off to a great start, but LSU's offense occasionally sputtered last year. Bama could easily be the biggest surprise of the year with Kiffin, Coker, and the emergence of Henry, but they will likely need even more time to develop. You don't replace your OC and a three year starter at QB without growing pangs. Will UGA stay injury-free? If so, they'll be able to pound the rock while Murray's replacement (Mason, right?) gets comfortable as a starter. He has experience, but he's been hiding behind an all-time legend in Murray for his career. USCe has a solid group, actually, and OBC, of course, but I defy anyone here not a USCe fan to name three of them. Go ahead, try. Ole Miss...look, I love how Freeze coaches up his players, and he has some spectacular talent in certain positions. But it's hard to get a handle on his OM teams sometimes, and I'm sure as hell not going to make any predictions about them just yet.
I'm going to pretend Missouri doesn't exist. That just makes life simpler.

That was Gus' 4th year in the SEC. Have any two of his O's looked alike yet? How has the rest of the SEC done in figuring him out? The one thing that coaches said before the NC game, "Gus doesn't have tendencies". It's hard to figure out what you can't figure out.

It's Gurley, Marshall, and then Douglas + the new backs plus maybe Turman that are the bread and butter but Georgia's receiving corp is really underrated ESPECIALLY on this board. Before the injuries they were carving up Clemson's, USCe's, and LSU's secondaries and then it all fell apart after half of them got hurt vs UT. Mitchell, JSW, and Jay Rome will be healthy and Conley and Bennett return among many other talented guys like Reggie Davis and Jonathan Rumph.
That's where the optimism stems from. Mason doesn't have to be a world beater in order to succeed with that. Hell, Mason almost transferred several times during the Murray era and the reason he stayed is because Richt sold him on the supporting cast he'd have if he stayed.
As for how Mason is obviously he's not Guido fricking Football. He doesn't have the arm Murray did and he has a different style IMO. He's more of a high % guy who will excel in short, intermediate passes and he's getting better at the deep ball. He also runs the offense at a faster pace so this year UGA's no huddle will actually be a hurry up at times as opposed to run to the line and wait 30 secs to relay the play.

Gus didn't have tendencies last season? I thought it was a point of pride that AU only ran 4 plays..

I don't understand this. They were super underrated last year too until they straight up shredded USCe and LSU.
...and now they're forgotten again.

Auburn, Mizzou, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M will have the top offenses, IMO (no specific order).

I think I'd be worried about the future. What do you have behind Thompson?
Connor Mitch is a RS Fr that is expected to battle with Nosovitch for 2nd string. Came out as a 4* with offers from Bama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, UNC, and NC State, among others. He set many NC high school records and Spurrier said while recruiting him that he would stay at USC at least until Mitch graduated.

Yeah, but nobody knew which one of the four plays were coming next.

Probably because Murray was an incredible quarterback. He tended to overshadow the receivers by getting most of the credit.

I'm really worried about Bama's offense this year. I think they will be a terror.

A&M will lead the SEC in total yardage every year and PPG most years.
Just the nature of the offense, even when we have off days the 700 yard games against shite teams bring the average up.

We will either be in the top 3 or from 6-10th.

Lets be real. A&M is going to have a top 3 SEC offense every year and probably the best as long as Sumlin is the HC.
Look at Sumlin's track record.
2013: 528.4 ypg 1st SEC, 4th nationally
2012: 558.5 ypg 1st SEC, 3rd nationally
2011: 599.1 ypg 1st CUSA, 1st nationally
2010*: 480.5 ypg 2nd CUSA, 11th nationally
2009: 563.4 ypg 1st CUSA, 1st nationally
2008: 562.5 ypg 2nd CUSA, 2nd nationally
*1st & 2nd string QB season ending injuries after 2 games. 122 points scored in 1st 2 games.
