IF you look at where we are right now and what has happened in the first 5 games, there do not seem to be any individuals out there. There are playing as a team and everyone is contributing.
We are at 4-1 with a close loss to the #2 team in the country on their now field. And as bad as we looked in that game, there were chances to pull it out.
Other than that, we have conformably run our schedule with two "Ok" SEC teams and two non conference. Our defense is playing lights out and our offense is coming around
With that being said, other than Stidhams completion percentage, we do not have any players at any positions that are leading in any type of stats. The ball and yards have really been spread around of offense with everyone getting a small piece.
On defense its that same. Jeff Holland leads with 4 sacks and we dont even have a person who is in the top 50 in tackles. But, our defense is highly ranked in points allowed.
Other than Stidham, we dont have a single player that would really hurt if we lost him for any time. Backs are thin but all other positions are fairly deep. Look at how well we played yesterday without Tre Williams. Arguably the captain of the defense. Did not even know he was not out there. Depth at LB is something unheard of lately. Receivers? Got plenty .
Its nice to see we do not have all out eggs in one basket. Other than Stidham, we are sitting pretty good in most positions....
They are all playing as a team right now with no selfishness.

I think this is the most outstanding aspect of this team.

Yall need to pump those brakes we have beat some shitty teams, especially on defense. Our run game still looks a little suspect. Gotta long way to go the Emergency Doors on the Gus bus are welded shut.

It's pretty much a cake walk to 14-1 ship at this point

Never thought this day would come, but I agree with golfntiger32.

lotta barn in that for beating the crap out of two awful teams

Don't drop the confetti yet... I am just glad that we are handling business like we should against inferior opponents.
The real tests will be UGA and Bama. Let's enjoy the SEC being down until then and pad some stats.

My biggest concern for our defense is playing any team with intermediate/deep passing attack with a pulse. We don't consistently generate pressure + our DBs are prone to giving up deep plays
Luckily for us, the rest of our opponents make our 2012 AU passing attack look competent

Yep a good dink and dunk team would kill our D.

I don't think teams can beat us by laterally stretching the field, our DBs tackle too well and close quickly on short outside passes. It is the quicker 10-15 yard passes (esp over the middle) I think will kill us. Only Holland has shown speed to pressure quicker drops and a RB chipping him negates that
Basically, I think a Richt/Bobo style offense with a Sean White type accurate 5-15yd passer would cause us serious fits

The same way they put up with your arse.

I don't think anybody is 'killing our D' this year.
