Looking at all the injuries we had. How would we have finished the year? In terms of players alone it was an incredible team

-Aaron Murray
-Todd Gurley
-Keith Marshall
-Malcolm Mitchell
-Michael Bennett
-Justin Scott Wesley

All those guys missed multiple games.

With our defense that year? We might’ve won 10 games postseason included.

Aaron Murray was cheated his senior season in so many ways.

The defense was terrible. It was one of our worst secondaries in recent years.

We lost to Clemson with almost everyone healthy because they dominated us when they were on offense.

Probably would have been a top 5-10 team. Defense nowhere near good enough to win it all.

That woulda been 2014

Obviously don't have Murray but Mason was pretty efficient and we had Gurley,Chubb and Sony at RB and defense was much improved.

Beat 4 ranked teams by an average of 29 pts and lost to unranked UF and SC And blew the GT game. Would've loved to see what that team coulda done vs Bama in the SECCG.

Season was microcosm of CMR's career

Definitely a top 5 UGA offense in history with just a little bit better injury luck. But no, not a top 5 UGA TEAM of all time, even with better injury luck.

Right off the bat you’d have to say Richt’s 02, 05, 07, and 12 teams were probably all better even if 2013 had just an average amount of injuries instead of the carnage we had in 2013.

Throw in the Herschel teams, the 42 champs, 1968, 1992 and 2017 and there’s no way 213 would be in our top five.

With all that said that offense was insanely good. Bobo and Murray at their peak.

Sorry, but every time I read this thread title I get a headache.

"Could 2013 possibly be one of our Top 5 best teams?"

So many ways to phrase this in a way that wouldn't have made this appear to be happening in the present. Arrrgh!

For example:
"Would the 2013 UGA team be one of the top 5 teams in UGA history?"

Keith Marshall


Marshall was a highly rated recruit but in terms of on field production he was very sub-par. After he tore his ACL he couldn't absorb contact to save his life.
