Not in Georgia's favor...when was the last time a true Freshman QB won a division title?
Depends on if you count Tebow as leading the 2006 UF team even though Chris Leak was the usual starter that season.
And given that there's no difference in game experience between a redshirt freshman and a true freshman, Maty Mauk (RFr) for Mizzou in 2013.
Also, Arkansas in 2006 had QB turmoil all year between Mitch Mustain and Casey Dick but was propelled to Atlanta on the legs of Darren McFadden and Felix Jones
Which is to say that just because a true freshman hasn't led a team to Atlanta doesn't mean it can't happen now (not to mention that we also have a JR and a SR QB with playing experience that said true freshman has to beat out first). Honestly, if we don't don't make it I doubt it'll be the offense that is to blame (our DL is razor thin right now with injuries and suspensions)

Tebow threw 33 passes, Leak threw 365...so, I would say that Tebow was not the one who would get credit for winning the division.

But there is a difference between being in your first year in a system and in your second. Which is another hurdle UGA will face. Everyone on their talented offense will be learning a new system with new terminology and techniques.

Mustain would be similar to Ainge at UT in 2004. Yes, he got a lot of starts and they won the division...but by the time the championship game came around, an older QB was under center.
