Georgia is playing its best football coming down the stretch, and the offense — led by Mike Bobo — is a big reason why.

After struggling some at Auburn in late September, the Bulldogs have averaged 42.6 points over their past five games. The most impressive performance of the season for the Georgia offense came this past weekend against Ole Miss as Georgia put up 52 points and more than 600 yards of offense in the dominant win.

Georgia has a tough road test at Tennessee this weekend, but Tim Tebow believes the Bulldogs are ready for it. He joined The Paul Finebaum Show live from Knoxville on Friday afternoon.

“They’re just getting better and better, I feel like, with what coach Bobo’s doing offensively. I mean they are adapting,” Tebow said. “First of all, they’re mauling people up front. They’re protecting the quarterback. They’re using motions and schemes to either use Brock [Bowers] as a go-to guy or a decoy guy. Either way it’s effective.

“Ladd’s getting healthy. You’re also getting other playmakers involved, like three running backs, Rara Thomas, so many other guys, Oscar Delp, Dominic Lovett, so many other guys that are making plays for him out wide.”

Georgia had excellent offenses each of the past two seasons as the Bulldogs won back-to-back national titles.

With that said, Tebow believes this offense is even more explosive and dynamic than the ones of late.

“It’s not like a one-option offense like a little bit in the past. This is an offense that can go through the ground game, it can go through the screen game, the play-action game, the drop-back, the empty game, motion. They’re doing so many things to keep people off balance,” Tebow said. “But I also think it starts with their offensive line is moving people and they’re protecting the quarterback.”

Junior quarterback Carson Beck had some struggles early in the year, but he has clearly settled in as the offensive line has done a better job of protecting him.

Beck is averaging over 300 passing yards per game and has 23 total touchdowns, with five interceptions on the season.

SEC Network analyst Roman Harper loves what he has seen from Beck in his first season as a starter.

“I look at the quarterback specifically. I’m not the one that just always wants to blow up quarterback play, but Caron Beck’s playing really, really, really well. And he has the arm talent that no one has seen on the campus of Georgia since Matthew Stafford. And so when you’re able to one-ball a 28-30 yard post route to Ladd McConkey … this is a big box that not a lot of people in college have,” Tebow said.

“When you have that in your back pocket that you can just break it out at any time, it really shores up everything in the red zone. You’re able to attack teams differently. Because you don’t have to put any air under the ball.”
