re: Is UGA going to be the mirror image of Alabama

It's really bad no matter who you have played. Your friend, the OP, asked the question if Georgia will be the mirror image of 2012 Alabama due to the talent UGA lost on defense. Such an argument is asinine because, while Alabama lost 8 starters off a defense that is among the greatest of all-time, they still finished #1 in the country in 3 of the 4 major defensive categories in 2012. Georgia is losing virtually all of its star players off a defense that finished #18 in Scoring Defense, #32 in Total Defense, and #80 in Rushing Defense.

What he said. Alabama had an outstanding defense, lost a bunch, and still had an outstanding defense.

As to the 'it looks bad because of who they played' argument I say bullshait. They also gave up over 200 yards rushing to Kentucky and South Carolina. Tennessee (560 total yds) was 3 yards shy of 200.

Georgia had a mediocre to poor defense and lost a bunch. If they 'mirror Alabama', that means they'll still have a mediocre to poor defense. No matter how good they are on offense, they'll have a couple or more days where it doesn't click and they'll lose. They may well win the east, but until they get serious about defense that's the limit.

No crystal for you.
