Georgia Football: 5 Bulldogs Who Must Improve Down the Stretch

We are in the final weeks of the 2015 season, and the Georgia Bulldogs football team has three more games left on its schedule. It has not been a season to remember, but finishing strong is the goal so the season won’t be a complete disaster.

However, in order for the Bulldogs to finish strong, everybody on the roster needs to take his game up a notch. These last three games won’t be easy as Auburn, Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech bring something different to the table.

So here are five Bulldogs who need to improve down the stretch.

QB Greyson Lambert

When the season is all said and done, Greyson Lambert will have better numbers than what he had at Virginia last year. But he has been inconsistent, as he has only completed over 50 percent of his passes once since the end of September. Lambert has also thrown only three touchdown passes in the last four games.

One of the reasons the Bulldogs lost three games in October is the lack of offensive production, and Lambert has been a big part of that. He has shown that he can be efficient and accurate, completing 96 percent of his passes against South Carolina and 90 percent the following week against Southern. But if the Bulldogs want to finish the season 9-3, Lambert will have to play like he did at the beginning of the season.

RB Keith Marshall

Let’s be clear. Keith Marshall is having a good season considering he’s coming off two years' worth of injuries. However, he will need to be what Sony Michel was when Michel was the backup for Nick Chubb before he tore his MCL.

Marshall’s best game this season came in the opener when he rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns against Louisiana-Monroe. He had a solid game last week against Kentucky, rushing for 60 yards and 13 carries.

The reality of the Bulldogs' situation is if they don’t rush the football effectively, they will have a hard time winning the next three games. Michel will get his yards, so this means Marshall will need to be more consistent in order for the Bulldogs to have a game like they did against Kentucky.

TE Jeb Blazevich

Jeb Blazevich is having a down year as he only has eight catches for 74 yards through nine games. Last year, Blazevich caught 18 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns.

Blazevich is not to blame because he has been solid considering the passing game has struggled the last two seasons. Whoever is the quarterback needs to get the tight ends involved in the passing game. Blazevich showed great promise last season, and the Bulldogs have been known for producing great tight ends such as Ben Watson, Leonard Pope and Randy McMichael. The Bulldogs will be more dangerous as an offense if the tight ends are targeted more on third downs.

LB Jordan Jenkins

With this being Jordan Jenkins’ senior year, the thought was he was going to have a season where he would be named to the All-America team. While he has been solid, Jenkins has not been spectacular.

One of the things Jenkins has been good at during his career is getting after the quarterback, as he has at least five sacks in each of his three full seasons.

Right now, Jenkins has three, but he has been dealing with a groin injury, according to Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald.

Jenkins has plenty of time to have a great 2015 season. Despite the injuries, he is still one of the more talented linebackers in the conference. His leadership will be needed for this three-game stretch.

WR Reggie Davis

Going back to the offense, Reggie Davis is a player who has had good and bad moments this season. And both moments can be found in the Tennessee game as he returned a punt for a touchdown, but he also dropped a touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter.

Davis was named Most Improved Player at the end of spring practice, and he was expected to take the next step in the fall with him being a junior. If there is a time when Davis can redeem himself for the mistakes he’s made this season, these final three games are a great opportunity for that to happen.
