Gary Danielson will be on the call this week on the “SEC on CBS” when Georgia meets Florida in Jacksonville.

During an appearance this week on the Florida Sports Network and the Miller and Moulton Podcast, Danielson was asked if Georgia has taken the baton from Alabama as the team dealing with the most pressure.

Because of the NFL departures, Danielson compared Georgia to a growth stock, and the Georgia players feel like “it’s our turn, our opportunity to play.”

“I still think there’s the hunger in Kirby, he coaches with that chip on his shoulder,” Danielson said. “Every question you ask him, it’s almost like you’re picking a fight with him. And as the team takes on that personality, I think Carson Beck is a lot better quarterback than people — well there was an anticipation will Carson Beck be able to take the next step and really he has some tools and the way he throws the football that Stetson didn’t have, the way he sees the field and throws it.”

Danielson also pointed to familiarity with offensive coordinator Mike Bobo returning to the on-field staff, and how Georgia is running the ball like it used to. But the Bulldogs are still leaning on their depth ahead of a crucial part of the season.

“Listen, they’re struggling with injuries, there’s no doubt about it, they’re a different football team,” Danielson said. “The 2 great tight ends from last year, the 2 great offensive tackles are gone. Then they lose their next best offensive tackle, they’ve got a lot of good players of the team and it feels more like an opportunity than a wait so far for them. Just, guys saying I came here for a reason, it’s my turn, not the – it’s a different vibe, hard to explain. As this streak goes along, the tougher part of your schedule is coming up, so we’re going to find out.”
