It seems like it was just yesterday that the college football season ended as Michigan topped Washington in the national title game in Houston. When the game ended, the worst time of the year began for college football fans: the dreaded offseason. Nearly eight months without college football. It feels like it just started, but we are now in June, and college football is less than three months away. The weather is getting warmer, and we are inching our way closer to football season. The 2024 season is almost here for Georgia football, and Bulldogs fans can't wait for the new year to roll around.
Spring football is one of the best times of the college football offseason as a sense of hope comes to every fan base around the country. It's exciting to see your team in action in the first time, even though it's just a scrimmage. You start to see the roster taking shape and projected depth charts start trickling out. Spring football is the first sign of the season, and now that it's been over for awhile, college football fans are really in the home stretch. The cold winter months are tough to survive without football, but the excitement that comes with spring football makes everything easier. We're getting closer and closer to the season, and it will be here before we know it.
This next season of college football is going to be an exciting one, and there are a ton of reasons to be looking forward to it. There are a lot of changes coming to the game like rule changes, coaching changes, conference changes and playoff changes. Perhaps the most intriguing part of the new season will be the new conferences. The Pac-12 is gone, and the Big Ten and SEC are going to be loaded. They both seem to be on the verge of forming super conferences.
The SEC will be welcoming Texas and Oklahoma to the conference next year, and the Big Ten is getting a good crop of Pac-12 teams as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington are all joining the conference. Both the Big Ten and the SEC are going to be absolutely loaded next year, and it seems like more schools will potentially join the conferences in the future.
Next season, the College Football Playoff will look different as well as it is expanding to 12 teams. There will also be first round games on college campuses. More teams will have a chance to make the CFP, and there will be more games. It's going to be fun.
Georgia football is going to be scary good
The Georgia football team looked unstoppable for a couple years there when they won back-to-back national titles. The Bulldogs had been close leading up to that 2021 season, and then they finally broke through. The 2022 season was a different type of dominant, however. Georgia finished the season 15-0 and their win over TCU in the national title game was one of the most lopsided national title games ever.
Georgia football came into the 2023 season looking to win a third straight national title, but Alabama had different plans. The Bulldogs had everything go to plan in the regular season as they took care of business each week. It wasn't super flashy or loud, but the Bulldogs just kept winning and held a top ranking in college football. Then, Georgia lost against Alabama in the SEC title game, and they dropped all the way out of the top-four rankings after going into the game ranked #1. Just like that, one little slip up cost the Bulldogs their season.
In bowl season, Georgia football went to the Orange Bowl to take on Florida State. Both teams felt like they should've made the College Football Playoff, and the Bulldogs really wanted to prove that. They dominated the Seminoles and ended up winning 63-3.
Now, Georgia is getting ready for the next season, and they want to return to the mountaintop of college football. The Bulldogs have a lot of talent on their team and they are expected to be one of the best teams in college football yet again. Georgia returned a good amount of production from last year's team, but they also have lost a good amount of players to the transfer portal. The Bulldogs are bringing in 11 transfers, and they have lost 24. Most of those players left before the spring window, and that is where they lost their biggest player makers.
Georgia football did lose more players than they are bringing in, but they did land some intriguing transfers. There are a few that should go on to have good careers with the Bulldogs, but there is one in particular that Georgia fans are going to like. Here is the transfer that will have the biggest impact in the 2024 season.
Benjamin Yurosek, TE, Stanford
Benjamin Yurosek transferring to Georgia football doesn't get talked about enough. The dude is a complete stud and it can't be stressed enough how perfectly he fits into this offense after the departure of Brock Bowers.
Last season, Benjamin Yurosek only played during the first half of the season because of an injury, and the previous seasons before that showed what a weapon can be. He had over 650 yards receiving and three touchdowns in 2021, and he had 445 yards and one touchdown in 2022. Yurosek was with Stanford football, and no offense to the Cardinal, but they aren't great. He is going to playing with a more dynamic offense at Georgia and he will be paired with one of the best quarterbacks in the country. The opportunities will be there for Yurosek to have a big season.
In each of the past three seasons, Benjamin Yurosek received All-Pac 12 honors in some capacity, even last year when he was only able to play for half of the season.
After seeing the success that Brock Bowers had with Georgia football, it's hard to imagine Benjamin Yurosek not having a big season with the Bulldogs in 2024. Georgia is going to want to run their offense in a similar way. They're still going to get the ball to their tight ends, and Yurosek is as reliable as it gets. Don't be surprised if we hear his name a lot next season, and don't be surprised if he is up for national awards. He is that good.
