Why No. 45: In his first year with the Bulldogs, Tedford pulled off a minor miracle, going from double-digit losses to double-digits wins. He was the perfect hire for a program that had lost its way. ... Now, can he do it again? With 14 starters back, it seems like a strong “Yes.” The Bulldogs expect another big season from senior quarterback Marcus McMaryion, who transferred from Oregon State and threw 14 TD passes with just five picks.
