Aaron Murray expects Georgia offensive to become more explosive under Mike Bobo

Aaron Murray wants Georgia to score 50-points per game under Mike Bobo during his first season back as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator.

Between the players Georgia has returning and the incoming portalers and high school recruits, Murray told On3’s JD PicKell that, from experience, that Bobo wants to operate the UGA offense at an elite level. After all, that’s the new standard in Athens in 2023.

“There is going to be a chip on Bobo’s shoulder. I know Bobo, he was my OC for five years. He is a competitive son of a gun,” Murray told PicKell on a recent edition of The Hard Count. “He wants to be the best — he is one of the best. There are a lot of people doubting whether he should have gotten the job with big shoes to fill with [Todd] Monken leaving and I think he’s eating that up.

“He knows he has some talent that he hasn’t had in a long time to work with, and he wants to go out there and prove everyone why he is a successful coordinator and why he got this job. That’s why I think there will be no limits for this offense.”

Overall, Mike Bobo is entering his third stint at Georgia. It is his second as a coach after he played quarterback for the Bulldogs for four years before his 14-year run as an assistant coach. The last eight of those years were as offensive coordinator. Now back in Athens as OC, Bobo is trying to help his alma mater win a third-straight national championship.

“I expect this offense to really start to push the ball vertically down the field. You saw in the spring game, it’s the same offense they ran last year essentially at the core,” Murray said. “Different formations, different personnel groups, motions, shifts. Really put the defense in a bind and make the defense communicate on that side of the ball.”

Now that the spring slate has concluded and we have heard nothing but positives out of Georgia’s camp — Bobo has an entire summer to figure out his personnel and put together an offense worthy of a three-peat. Georgia will kick off its season on Sept. 2 against UT Martin at home.
