re: SEC Offensive and Defensive Stats - non-garbage time vs FBS opponents

It feels weird seeing UGA with the best offense and Ole Miss with the best points per drive on defense.

It's also a bit crazy that UGA had pretty much 0 time against Kent State that qualifies as garbage time. That game accounts for 22 of the 32 points you've given up all year.

It doesn't help that Samford (being FCS) accounts for 100% garbage time and doesn't help the model at all for Georgia (which hurts your defense but, oddly enough, helps your offense as that was your lowest scoring output all year).

Georgia has definitely appeared to have a motivation issue when playing lesser opponents (lackluster on offense against Samford, lackluster on both sides against Kent State).
