The SEC had no shortage of excitement in 2014. As usual, the conference showcased some of the most talented players in the nation and saw several standout seasons. Here’s a look at the five most enjoyable offensive players to watch in the SEC.

1. Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia: Prior to his month-long suspension and eventual season-ending injury, Gurley was the most exciting player in college football. The junior dominated opposing defenses and was a favorite to be in consideration for the Heisman Trophy. But fans were given just six games to enjoy one of college football’s most dominant performers, making his season all the more impressive.

2. Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama: Cooper was expected to be one of the SEC’s best wide receivers entering the 2014 season and exceeded expectations. With Gurley sidelined, he was without question the best player in the conference, finishing as the only SEC representative on the Heisman Trophy ballot. Cooper and quarterback Blake Sims provided the perfect compliment to Lane Kiffin’s offensive scheme, beating opposing defenses on both long and short passes.

3. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia: Chubb picked up right where Gurley left off in Athens. When both players shared carries, the freshman showed his potential by rushing for a high average, despite taking the meager share of attempts. But, following Gurley’s suspension, Chubb rushed for more than 100 yards in each of his final seven games, including a career-best 202 yards and two touchdowns against Arkansas in his second game as a starter.

4. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State: Prescott was the SEC’s best chance to win the Heisman for most of the season. The dual-threat quarterback led Mississippi State to its first No. 1 overall ranking in school history by dominating through the air and on the ground. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound quarterback even drew comparisons to former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, prior to his campaign ending with a Week 12 loss to Alabama. Still, Prescott remains one of the SEC’s most exciting players and should reclaim that title if he decides to return for his senior season.

5. Nick Marshall, QB, Auburn: Nick Marshall was a perfect fit for Gus Malzahn’s offense. Like Cam Netwon before him, Marshall provided Auburn with an immediate turnaround in his first year as starting quarterback. The dual-threat was the second-leading rusher among SEC QBs with 780 yards and added 2,315 yards passing as a senior. Marshall also recorded 30 total touchdowns (18 passing, 11 rushing).
