Georgia Football: Why Greyson Lambert Will Be Bulldogs' X-Factor in 2015

There is no debate about the talent the Georgia Bulldogs have on their roster. In fact, all of the sports information directors in the SEC were recently asked who would win the SEC East, and they picked the Bulldogs (via College Football Talk).

The Bulldogs have a talented running back in Nick Chubb, an experienced offensive line, a young but talented defensive line and secondary and they could have the best set of linebackers in the country.

But if there’s one position in question, it would have to be quarterback, and there are still questions concerning who will start when the season kicks off on September 5.

With Greyson Lambert transferring, he could win the spot despite being behind Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta when it comes to the playbook. However, he does have the most in-game experience, and he does fit into what offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer wants to do.

So for those reasons, Lambert will likely be the X-factor for the Bulldogs this season. He won’t have to do as much as he did in Virginia because he will be working with more talent around him, but he will need to play a lot better than he did with the Cavaliers last season.

Lambert was 4-star recruit from Wayne County, Georgia, back in 2012, according to 247Sports. He was listed as the eighth-best pro-style quarterback in the country and the 19th-best prospect in the state. Lambert signed with Virginia in January of that year, but did not make his first start until last season.

The reasons vary for why Lambert decided to make the move to Athens, but he did make it official on his Twitter account:

"

Once Lambert arrives on campus and takes part in fall camp, he will have to learn a whole new system in a hurry. With only two years of eligibility left, Lambert is not looking to ride the bench.

As it was mentioned earlier, Lambert will be working with more weapons on offense than he ever did with the Wahoos. So in order for the Bulldogs to be in the hunt for the SEC title, he'll need to be a leader on the field and avoid making mistakes.

However, if the Bulldogs want to win the conference, Lambert will have to take his game to another level. He has the tools to be successful in Athens, but he has to be more consistent and more accurate with his throws.

It’s not a given Lambert will start because Ramsey and Bauta have more experience with the offense. But if that’s the case, then why would he transfer?

The pressure is on for the Bulldogs to have a big season, and despite questions over whether he’s going to play or not, there is probably no other player on the roster feeling the heat more than the former Cavalier.
