The start of the regular season is getting closer, and closer as we speak. Only 57 days until Georgia opens up its season on the road against Vanderbilt. It could be a formidable challenge for the Dawgs on the first game of the season. Vanderbilt cannot be overlooked by the Dawgs, because if you remember back in 2016 the Dawgs lost to the Commodores when Georgia failed on a fourth down conversion.
Since we are under two months until the season begins, Dawg fans are starting to cast their predictions about what will happen this season. So I have decided to join in on that, but I will be giving you 5 bold predictions for the 2019 Georgia Regular Season. 1. Georgia will go 12-0 in the Regular Season An undefeated regular season has been long in the running for the Bulldogs. The last time the Dawgs have gone undefeated in the regular season was in 1980, the same year they won the National Championship. The Dawgs for the past 2 seasons on paper had the teams to go undefeated in the regular season and maybe even go on to win the National Championship. But mid-season hiccups took that accomplishment away from those teams. Back in 2012 and 2002, both teams were on the verge of going undefeated but suffered mid-season hiccups. In 2002 it was Florida who caused the Dawgs to have a hiccup and in 2012 it was South Carolina. It seems that when the expectations have been high, Georgia has failed to live up to those expectations. We can all say in 2017 it was not a realistic goal to make it to the National Championship game. Nobody expected it to happen. But Georgia flew under the radar and did exactly that. I predict that the Dawgs will break that curse and have an undefeated regular season for the first time since 1980. 2. Jake Fromm will be a finalist for the Heisman Jake Fromm has been doubted throughout his college career up to this point, as many of his critics have called him a simple game manager. And the examples they give as their supporting evidence is every game that Fromm has lost. While Fromm has a career record of 24-5 as a starting quarterback, four of the five games he lost were not his greatest showings as a quarterback. The only exception is the SEC Championship game last year against Alabama, where Georgia lost by a touchdown. Many say Fromm put up the best performance of his career but fell just short of being able to lift the Dawgs to victory. But the other four games showed his flaws as a quarterback. Statistically, Fromm was the second-best quarterback in the SEC behind Tua of Alabama. Fromm threw for 2,671 yards and 30 touchdowns. He finished second in passing touchdowns and passing efficiency rating at 171.3 only behind Tua. I predict that Fromm will better his numbers tremendously from a year ago, even though a complete overhaul of his receiving core was carried out by the NFL and legal matters. 3. D'Andre Swift will have 2,500 total yards Swift has proven himself over the past two seasons as one of the most complete running backs in College Football. He is a proven back who has the speed and agility to weave through the holes and proved very dangerous in the open field. Not only is good at taking handoffs but he is a reliable target out of the backfield. Swift is arguably the best receiving back in the SEC. I predict and I assure you Swift will get 2,500 total yards after the regular season concludes. 4. Georgia will beat Florida by Four Touchdowns The biggest news this offseason for Gator fans have been the playful shoots Florida head coach Dan Mullen has directed towards the University of Georgia during spring camp. Mullen is coming off of his first season in the swamp with the Gators and failed to do anything notable in SEC play and anything nationally that showed improvement. The Gators went 10-3 in Mullen's first season and had a Peach Bowl win as the most notable achievement This isn't going to be considered bold by many Georgia fans but I think with all the trash talk Mullen has done, he would consider it bold. So, I predict Georgia will end of smacking the Gators by four or more touchdowns, paying Mullen back for the Spurrier-like mouth he has used this offseason. 5. Georgia Defense will rank Top 5 in the SEC in sacks Coach Smart after a disappointing bowl game loss to Texas and at the beginning of the spring, he proclaimed his wish of producing a defense that would make "havoc" plays. Which we have determined that he wants to the defense getting after the quarterback and getting sacks and causing turnovers. Georgia's defense in 2018 at times was on the field too long because they weren't causing havoc, and when you look at the National Championship caliber teams their defense is usually always getting after the quarterback and causing turnovers. I predict Georgia to be top 5 in the SEC in sacks. I think this defense has the secondary to lock down receivers and give the front seven time to shed blocks and get that quarterback.

I agree with all of these except Swift getting 2,500 yards. If he does he should get the Heisman.
