Times, they are a changing.

Georgia just had what most would categorize as an unfocused offensive performance against Florida. However, it still put up 555 yards of offense and 42 points.

Stetson Bennett's 316 yards gave him his 4th 300-yard game this season. Jake Fromm had 2 300 yard games in his career. Lots of praise is due Todd Monken, which is why he's got a massive contract from UGA.

Georgia's offense is one of college football's most productive and explosive when things are clicking, and big-time prospects are taking notice.

Take a look at Georgia's 2023 and 2024 wide receiver and tight-end commits. Big, athletic weapons that play in wide-open offenses can be used in many different ways. Yazeed Haynes is having a monstrous senior season with his 4.3 40-time. Pearce Spurlin just got cleared from injury and started his senior season off with a bang this Friday. Tyler Williams is dominating his senior campaign as well and is probably dressing up as a 6-foot-4 gazelle for Halloween this year. Don't forget Raymond Cottrell that Georgia flipped from Florida. Finally, Georgia is looking to add another wideout in the Class of 2023 and is hosting Deandre Moore and Anthony Evans this weekend. Both committed elsewhere, both very interested to see Georgia's offense take on Tennessee. Bryan McClendon has built strong relationships with both.

The 2024 class is loaded with skill talent. Kirby Smart and Monken are surrounding Ryan Puglisi with elite athletes like Ny Carr, Landen Thomas, Tovani Mizell, and Sacovie White.

Georgia continues to bring in and attract top QB talent. Beck, Vandagriff, Stockton, Puglisi are all in the pipeline to take the keys of this Georgia offense with the aforementioned playmakers around them. Also, Georgia will have Antwann Hill and Ryan Montgomery back in attendance for the Tennessee game. These two 2025 QBs are the two that Georgia is most invested in at this point in the class. Montgomery is making his 4th unofficial visit to UGA and his second gameday visit this season. The same holds true for Hill. 2026 phenom and priority Georgia target Julian Lewis will also be in attendance.

While there are many that like to pick at Georgia's offensive execution at times, it seems clear to prospect the direction that the Georgia offense is headed. Also, I believe that Kirby Smart will maintain the overwhelming majority of the current offensive system if some NFL team or college team should ever poach Monken away. Think of how Gundy at Oklahoma State has done this, for example.

Georgia has a huge platform on Saturday. Defense has been the calling card for Georgia in the CKS era. Yet, it seems like every time Georgia has the nation's attention in massive spots, the Georgia offense has shown up.

I don't expect Saturday to be any different. Especially the way Georgia's offensive line is playing.
