and then got the Brice Ramsey special the house kind of caved in.
I ran the numbers after the App State game, something like 8% of his pass attempts have been INTs... it's really quite staggering.

Once we blocked the punt
Even if UGA is to continue the success we've had this season and wind up in Atlanta at the end of the season, this is probably the thing I'm most worried about. Not specifically punts, but just turnovers in general... Alabama seems to have made a habit out of really penalizing teams for turnovers and short fields... The avg starting field differential for you guys this season (one of the S&P+ metrics) is just ludicrous.
Can't afford to do you guys any favors on field position for sure.

Yep, it's really hard to beat us if you can't get lots of explosive plays, because our defense, kick coverage and punting game ensure that the majority of the time the opponent will be left with a long field (which leads to, as you noted, our very high field position ranking in S&P+). On top of that, we don't turn the ball over much.
It's probably the part of our program over the last 3 years that has improved the most that most people don't really talk about. We used to routinely give up lots of field position on kick coverage. That never happens anymore. It's a huge deal.

Also - big fan of that chart format and breakout. I'm guessing you post those on the UGA board but you should throw those up over here too. Like it a lot.
