Is ESPN wrong in reporting Georgia just has 6 starters returning on offense?

Seems like Georgia should have 9 starters returning on offense.

Are there more offensive lineman who graduated that I have forgotten? Are they not counting the qb who did start 2 games?

I can't think of a lineup of that many players on offense without starts.

I don't believe that is how most media outlets calculate "returning starters". Most take who ended the year as a starter and go from there. That would include your list and Merritt Hall as a returning starter as well, as he usurped Quayvon Hicks mid way through the season. I would venture to guess that most consider Chris Conley a returning starter, not Malcolm Mitchell.



ETA: Although, to that end; I think they used common sense and did not include Hutson Mason as a returning starter as it was obvious that Murray was the actual starter on that team.

Depends on how you want to slice it really.

Gurley
Houston
Theus
Andrews
Bennett
Conley
Mitchell
Hall/Hicks

Have all started at least 6 games in a single season.

Mason
Beard
Scott-Wesley

Have all started multiple games in a single season.


This doesn't include guys like Jay Rome, Keith Marshall, etc. who have valuable experience. I don't think experience will be our problem on offense.
