Continued....
Middle Linebackers
Amarlo Hererra is a junior and defensive leader of sorts, the press coming out on him is that he's the guy that drives everyone harder in the film room, the weight room, the drills, and the scrimmages. He was a starter last year as well, and was also a 5 star recruit originally. There aren't alot of fireworks for him because he basically plugs holes and makes tackles, but he can chase the outside play as well as anyone. He also gets ball-punch happy, and popped one out vs Clemson. He's not just trying to bring your running back down, he's trying to get that ball. If another lineman or linebacker can help hold you up, he's by damn going to try to get that ball out of your hands.
Ramik Wilson is the other middle linebacker. He's the other middle linebacker.
Too much is made of UGA's secondary. They aren't that shitty. Their opponents have included Zach Mettenberger who leads the league in QB rating and has two top shelf receivers... Tajh Boyd who is a projected first round draft pick, senior, dual threat, with another future NFL receiver Sammy Watkins, and believe it or not, the QB for North Texas, I forget his name, had thrown for an average of 400 + yards in all his games leading up to the UGA game, and as Richt said, it doesn't matter who your competition is (in regard to N Tex qb), you don't put up those kind of numbers unless you are executing.
Yes, UGA's secondary is young. But Damien Swann is a junior and returning starter from last year, led the team in interceptions last year. None this year.
True Freshman phenom safety Tray "The Truth" Matthews will probably be out again, was out vs Tenn, hamstring. Hamstring has been hurting him since the summer. Multiple guys have rotated to replace him, so far none have done particularly well.
The other safety, slash nickel, is Josh Harvey-Clemons. He was yet another 5 star recruit 3 years ago, and is just now starting full time. He was recruited as a linebacker at 6-5 but wasn't able to put on the weight we hoped for, so at around 220 he is just a big safety. Our defensive coordinator said they had to create a position for him because he is too athletic to sit on the bench, so he is a safety nickel thing that Grantham calls "Star". He is probably the best guy in the secondary right now.
The other corner spot is unknown. Several guys have played it this year, there has been rotation. Noone has locked that position down yet. Mettenberger and Worley and Connor Shaw and Tajh Boyd have pretty much made everyone look bad.
So how does mizzou capitalize on this?
