Shurmur regarded as ‘best pure passing quarterback’ UGA has faced

Related Topics: Pro-style offense

Georgia hasn’t faced a quarterback such as Vanderbilt’s Kyle Shurmur yet. Shurmur is of the traditional mode, a pocket passer who operates out of a pro-style offense. He has a quick release and will throw the ball out of a variety of formations.

On top of that, Shurmur’s development started taking off at the end of last season.

Over his past 10 games, Shurmur has averaged 230.5 passing yards per game. In last week’s loss to Florida, Shurmur threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns.

“First of all, he is very intelligent and does a great job with their offense,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said.
