MSU folks should probably be asking Georgia folks about what to expect from our new DC, Todd Grantham. He will be the reason we get better .. 'if' we get better. Our defense and placekicking were our biggest weaknesses last year. FG kicking cost us 3-4 games. Pass defense was horrid and we had little to no pass rush.
Offense will run through the QB Fitz. He was 2nd in the SEC rushing with 1375 yards. Passing game was erratic and we lost our #1 WR. Offense will be better 'if' QB completion % increases and a couple of new receivers emerge. Running game seems solid with Williams as starter and lot of depth.
On paper, defense looks improved. LBs are proven. Several JC defenders arrived and should contribute,

No surprises for me on the projected starters for this week... OK, maybe Resse at RT, but that is definitely a good, long-term move if nothing else.
I am optimistic about the D. More experience and better coaching should give us better results. I think. Hopefully. Please. I do like having Peters at CB.
It will be interesting to see if Fitz has learned to go through his reads this year. Improving his accuracy is one thing, but he threw into coverage way too much last year because he didn't go to his 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th option. I think he can make the offense function through brute force, but it would be nice to see it clicking the way it is designed to work.

he's a mixed bag, I don't think you'll see any UGA fans sad he's not here anymore. When he was chock full of talent the defense was very very good, if he can't out-talent the other team you may struggle. The biggest thing you'll hear about him is his playbook is far too big and complex for college kids. One of our safeties said his playbook in the NFL was half as big as Granthams. The first year or 2 he was here it was maddening because the secondary was constantly thinking instead of just playing and reacting, and you could see it in their play. His last year here in 2013 was statistically the worst defense UGA has ever fielded in our history. They gave up 30 points 8 times and 40 points 3 times.
