Give Defense Some Credit

The defense Saturday was average at best. But on both the inerceptions, the Georgia defense stepped up and shut down the Voles. 3 and out, and 4 and out. Over the last few years those TOs would have likely led to TDs and opened the floodgates for a loss. Still a work in progress, but moving in the right direction.
Only gave up 117 rushing yards, and under 300 yards to a good passing team.

We have been doing a lot better at forcing TOs so far this year. A lot better than last year.

Our D is getting better every game. The first couple possessions sucked bad, as did the last one before halftime. But overall they played pretty well, and there were a few plays that were just a few inches from being interceptions or sacks. We should cruise Saturday before a biggie against missouri.

Agree with this. I see improvement; tighter coverage, contending for the ball when it arrives at the receiver, better tackling after the catch and more intent toward creating TO's. Where I still see need for improvement is anticipation of the quick outlet passes, defeating blocks and quickly making those tackles on the outside. I'm still not convinced Pruitt has all the pieces needed to create a championship defense but I do think the young guys in the Secondary are playing better as a result of his coaching.

no...they consistently give up the intermediate and short passing game stuff...i like Pruitt's attitude...but i am tired of seeing Herrera covering receivers all the time and getting burnt...that is not what he does best...and the db's still don't know where to line up...i know it is a work in progress....but it needs to get fixed quick...without AM we cannot get into shoot out games...

Our pass rush nearly got Worley killed 
Too bad our secondary is terrible
