Georgia’s offensive line coach for the last two seasons, Matt Luke, elected to step down shortly after the Bulldogs’ national title citing family reasons.

You might hear Dawg fans who are thankful for Luke’s departure, but the reality is that UGA’s front under the former Ole Miss head coach was one of the best in the SEC.
