TL:DR - UGA was a top 5 offense in the nation last year, and they return almost completely intact. There is no solid evidence supporting Smokeone's position.

All of the advanced metrics disagree with your assessment. Ratings and supporting data are calculated from the results of non-garbage possessions in FBS vs. FBS games:

Offense Fremeau Efficiency Index ratings (OFEI) represent the per-possession scoring advantage each offense would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average opponent:

UGA - 1.58 - 3rd overall
Bama - 1.70 - 2nd overall
Tenn - 1.14 - 6th overall

Touchdown rate (OTD) is the percentage of offensive drives that result in a touchdown:

UGA - 42.2% - 4th overall
Bama - 40.6% - 9th overall
Tenn - 37.9% - 16th overall

Busted drive rate (OBD) is the percentage of offensive drives that gain zero or negative yards:

UGA - 3.9% - 3rd overall
Bama - 10.5% - 50th overall
Tenn - 9.8% - 41st overall

Turnover rate (OTO) is the percentage of offensive drives that end with an interception or fumble:

UGA - 6.3% - 5th overall
Bama - 7.7% - 19th overall
Tenn - 8.3% - 29th overall
