What happened to this vaunted Offense we all heard about in the off season?

Yeah. Many were saying the wall was back, BVG was the real deal, etc. he isn’t a good QB and the line can’t protect him. Irrational exuberance every single year. Some of the issues are in the line- but not all of them.
Conservative coaching, poor OLine play and overrated receivers. It’s not changing anytime soon.
I expect blowouts against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas. So there’s 5 losses.
I predicted 6-6 year and I’m having trouble seeing where the wins are going to come from.
Next year will be the same unless there is a coaching change.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we really never heard much about BV during Spring and Fall camps. It seems there was a reason.
Doubtful we beat auburn or louisville. That is 8 losses. Vanderbilt will be a coin flip.
Lack of an offense cost us again. I think we have a pretty good defense against predictable offenses like our own, but you are not going to beat a powerhouse with just kicking field goals.
Yes, clearly there was hype when he signed, no question. It was exciting and promising.
I'm referring to what we heard after he was here and training began in Spring and Fall camps. We heard very little.
The consensus on the HOB- preseason was over 2300 yards passing. He is on pace for 1,200. It’s impacted by SCar and UG for sure- but he won’t touch 2,000 imo
You are probably correct.
BV's passing stats will probably be unimpressive and may be last in the conference. He can improve, though.
Leary, who received a lot of criticism here, was 2,746 YDS, 56.3%, 25 TD, 12 INT last year ... fwiw.
So after the ole miss game Kentucky will be 2-3 and going into the most important stretch of the season. If they wanna make a bowl they gotta win 2/3 to have a chance, and probably win all 3
Ohio University is 2-1.
Here are their YTD statistics to look at, if interested.

Who were you talking to? Our QB was a total unknown. Never started a game. That always had me worried. But who would have guessed the line had such problems? I did like the receivers though. Still do
Leary was a fifth-year senior with 38 starts at NC State and a former preseason pick as ACC player of the year before an injury scuttled that season. Vandagriff only had mop up minutes at Georgia and never started a game in college before this season. IMO it is unrealistic to expect him to be a polished and efficient SEC quarterback at this point in his career.

You have the number 1 team on the ropes. You make no effort for a play before halftime and then punt it with 3 minutes left in the game at midfield. Terrible in game decisions. No killer instinct. No will to take risks.
Iowa football at UK from the 80s. That's who he is.

Its beyond me how people can complain about the OL vs Georgia. They were clearly the offensive mvp. We ran the ball incredibly well even with two small mediocre rbs. Gave QB plenty of time.
I thought about that last night. There never was much excitement or big news put out about him in the off season which I found odd. I think we know why now.
IMO… Stoops doesn’t have the will to win and he doesn’t have a fear of losing.
Leary had an offensive coordinator that was good enough to have the same job in the NFL. Everyone knew that Coen was a guy moving to the top. The guy we have now has seen every one of his previous stops improve on that side of the ball after he left.
I told my son at halftime that we should have taken a shot at the end zone. We were inside the 15 with 9 seconds, right? I said you don’t beat a Georgia on just FGs.
Then at end of game 4th and 8 with 3:20 to go, I said we should have gone for it. Make it then we got 3 plays to get the extra 5 yards to put us in FG range.
Say 30% chance we get the 1st down, then 80% we get those extra 5 yards, and 70% we make the FG, and then a 80% chance we stop them from quickly scoring with not much time. Thats a 13% chance we win.
But the alternative was that we stop UGA from moving downfield (50%) and we then march downfield with little time (20%) and make the FG (70%), for a total of 7% chance to win.
13% > 7%

Leary would have had no issues with me if not for that putrid completion percentage.
No head coach in the country would have gone for a fourth-and-8 near the middle of the field with 3+ minutes on the clock and three timeouts and all you need to win the game is a FG.
I strongly disagree here. There was really no downside to going for that. Convert it, and you have the ball only needing a few more yards for the FG. Get stopped, and you’re pretty much in the same situation punting puts you in, trying to use your timeouts to get the ball back. Giving Georgia better field position shouldn’t have even entered into the equation as a risk because them running out the clock was a much bigger issue than them scoring in that scenario. It may not be 100%, but there’s plenty of coaches who would have realized that and gone for the 4th down.
Wrs had historically high drop rate. Not much you can do about that from a qb perspective. He was far from perfect but way better than fans credited.
Currently ranked 121st out of 133 teams in ppg. Third-worst among power conference teams, just above Florida State and UCLA.
Ranked 129th in Total Offense, worst among power teams. We do however produce more offense than New Mexico State, Air Force, Wyoming, and Kent State.
130th in Passing Offense, worst among power teams.
75th in Rushing Offense

Hype it up as much as possible to sell tickets. One day fans will stop believing the bs.
Do people realize Georgia hasn't given up a td all year?
Sc was bad offense but ga has an incredible defense and we moved the ball very well.

Defenses not getting fooled seems to be it. I thought that is what the offense was suppose to do?
We will put up 40 against Ohio, then claim it’s fixed. Then test it against Ole Miss
