He threw more interceptions than touchdowns as Virginia’s starting quarterback last year, but Greyson Lambert became a much better quarterback the moment he arrived at Georgia.

It’s amazing what having perhaps the best running back in the nation in your backfield will suddenly do for your skills.

A graduate transfer, Lambert battled redshirt sophomore Brice Ramsey and redshirt junior Faton Bauta for the job and could be the Bulldogs’ starter when they host Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 5. He’ll soon find the going considerably easier when giving the ball to the likes of stud tailback Nick Chubb to shoulder the offensive load.

But as talented as Chubb is, solid quarterback play will be a must if Georgia is to win its first SEC Championship in 10 years and compete for the national championship.

Here’s a glance at our projection for the post-fall camp two-deep:

Offense (Pro Style)

QB1: Greyson Lambert
QB2: Brice Ramsey

The Bulldogs’ quarterback competition remains tight, but Lambert’s edge in experience could be the difference. He’ll need to make better decisions than he did with the Cavaliers. Whomever emerges isn’t likely to be asked to win many games for the Dawgs. He just can’t lose them.

RB1: Nick Chubb
RB2: Sony Michel

Chubb is a legit Heisman Trophy candidate after a stellar freshman season of that conjured up visions of Herschel Walker after grounding up 1,547 yards and 14 TDs last fall. The addition of Michel and a healthy Keith Marshall gives the Dawgs a potent ground game

FB1: Christian Payne
FB2: Quayvon Hicks

Playing fullback at Georgia means you won’t get a lot of carries or ever be a regular on the highlights, but your coaches and teammates know and appreciate your tenacious blocking at the point of attack and your willingness to sacrifice your body.

X WR1: Malcolm Mitchell
X WR2: Kenneth Towns

F WR1: Isaiah McKenzie
F WR2: Kenneth Towns

Z WR1: Reggie Davis
Z WR2: Justin Scott-Wesley

Both Mitchell and Scott-Wesley figure to be capable playmakers if they can stay healthy. McKenzie is an explosive athlete who will add to an already-athletic bunch when not returning punts and kicks.

TE1: Jeb Blazevich
TE2: Jay Rome

Blazevich delivered some big-time catches as a freshman and should be much improved this season.

LT1: John Theus
LT2: Aulden Bynum

LG1: Isaiah Wynn
LG2: Lamont Gaillard

C1: Brandon Kublanow
C2: Hunter Long

RG1: Greg Pyke
RG2: Thomas Swilley

RT1: Kolton Houston
RT2: Kendall Baker

Theus, a three-year starter, anchors an experienced group that ranks as one of the best in the SEC. The line helped the Dawgs chew up better than 257 yards per game in 2014.

DEFENSE (3-4)

DE1: Sterling Bailey
DE2: James DeLoach

NG1: John Atkins
NG2: Chris Mayes

DE1: Josh Dawson
DE2: Jonathan Ledbetter

Expect to see defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt to rotate a lot of players along the defensive line, but keep an eye on true freshman Trenton Thompson. The former five-star recruit has impressed in the preseason.

SAM LB1: Leonard Floyd
SAM LB2: Lorenzo Carter

JACK LB1: Jordan Jenkins
JACK LB2: Davin Bellamy

MIKE LB1: Reggie Carter
MIKE LB2: Leonard Floyd

WILL LB1: Tim Kimbrough
WILL LB2: Jake Ganus

Make no mistake. The linebackers are the strength of the Georgia defense, with future pros Floyd, Carter and Jenkins set to again terrorize opposing quarterbacks. Floyd will see time at both the inside and outside linebacker spots, and will also drop into coverage in the Bulldogs’ nickel packages.

CB1: Aaron Davis
CB2: Reggie Wilkerson

CB1: Malkom Parrish
CB2: Tramel Terry

SS1: Quincy Mauger
SS2: Jonathan Abram

FS1: Dominick Sanders
FS2: Jarvis Wilson

Mauger is the unquestioned leader of a unit that had its moments a year ago, but needs to be consistent. Sanders has shown big-play ability.

SPECIAL TEAMS

K: Marshall Morgan
P: Collin Barber

KR: Isaiah McKenzie
