In context, it really did sound like he was comparing our WR room to 2020 Bama.
I'm not a mind reader, but it sounded to me like he provided the context in the last part where he said, "maybe this team isn't necessarily predicated on things that we've seen in the past from Georgia." That's the comparison he's making, because 2020 Alabama won a playoff championship in large part based on the strength of their passing attack, which was considered a departure from their history under Saban. If you look at their past championships under Saban, a physical style of play, defense and the run game, was the hallmark of those teams. When they won the championship in 2020, it was a common refrain in the media that Saban had adapted to use his team strengths.
Legge is saying that UGA's "pretty good" and deep corps of receivers, obviously in combination with Beck and a strong OL, are good enough to do the same. In other words, maybe in 2024 a strong passing attack will be the predominant factor that leads Georgia to a championship, instead of depending more on defense and running game. I actually think that was the case in 2022, but most people still seem to attribute UGA's successes to running the ball and playing great defense. Or maybe they think we used the TE's too much to be considered a "modern" passing offense.
