I wouldn't call UGA's defense nasty.

Ugly, maybe. but not nasty!


They should be improved, and they were not as bad as many thought last season. the run defense got to be pretty decent. The secondary? Ugly with a capital "U". They should be improved, though.

The offense could actually be better, though.

Losing Murray will definitely hurt, but most of the other offense is back and (key word here) healthy. We added depth at RB that could help immediately if needed. Hutson doesn't have the arm strength, but seems to be very accurate. Georgia should rely more on it' running game, and that is a good thing. Still have a LOT of good wide receivers. None are dominating, all have good hands with a couple great speed. If Malcolm Mitchell stays healthy this could be a HUGE strength of the offense.

The defense, as i said, is strong against the run and the secondary, we are hoping should be greatly improved. We expect to be able to put a lot of pressure on the QB, so this should help the secondary out a bit.




All that said...I expect for Florida to come on strong and have a MUCH improved year and South carolina should be very good, as always. Missouri is always hard for me to gauge, but should still be strong. Mauck should see to that. Tennessee will be improved also, but still a year at best and probably two years from being back to contenders.
