I dont disagree with anything you said except. All of that is based on what you saw in early Sept. QB and OL playing on a different level now.

Bammer D is legit and Kirby has always struggled slowing down a DTQB

You may not think that example is predictive, but it IS the closest example (team with good offense and defense) and it DID result in a loss.

I'm fine with you saying it will be different now, but the post being responded to was trying to use examples to prove their point, and the issue is the example that exist does NOT prove that point. It suggests the opposite.

As for "Kirby struggling with slowing down a DTQB", that actually isn't the case anymore.

Since coming to UGA, our defenses have eased off on pass pressure and focused on maintaining contain when rushing the pass rusher. We don't get as many sacks as you think we would because of that, but what we haven't done most of the time is get gashed by QB runs.

This wasn't the case initially with Mel Tucker, but became the norm under Dan Lanning and Glen Schuman. Guys like Anthony Richardson and Hendon Hooker didn't run on us well.

It did kind of look like UGA was struggling with running QB's early in the season, but that appears to have been more an issue of UGA's new pass rushers not being experienced enough to maintain contain during their pass rushes and getting burned. In recent weeks that appears to not be an issue. Dart is considered one of those dual threat QB's and he had 8 carries for 20 yards. Brady Cook had one run but otherwise was held in check.

The examples of UGA giving up rushing yards to QB's are all from the first 5 games of the season. Since then, the pass rushers have been coached up enough to maintain contain. We don't get a ton of sacks because of that approach, but we also don't give up too much to running QB's.
