How is this a counterpoint for what he said?


One could try to make a case their defense is actually regressing.

South Carolina's offensive line >>>>> greater than Tennessee's (with five first time starters), yet UT was able to repeatedly attack and expose your LBs pass coverage liabilities.

Granted, this was first game I actually analyzed Georgia's defense in how Missouri might attack them in our upcoming game, but I came away underwhelmed.

Still, the way your schedule plays out you have to be considered the favorites to win the East. But I think 5 out the 7 West teams would manhandle the entire East, including Georgia.

I don't think anyone is implying that UGA will turn into a lockdown D or anything, but it's not exactly ridiculous delusion to think that the freshmen in UGA's secondary will get better as the season goes along.

What does Tenn's OL have to do with UGA's linebackers in pass coverage?

It's not UGA's defense you need to be worried about.

No, one couldn't. Georgia came up with the stops when they needed to. The big plays against Georgia were significant mismatches, most of the time well-defended, but the ball was placed where only the taller receiver could get to it. Not necessarily a bad secondary. The only other thing the DB's could have done in most of those cases is flagrant pass interference.

Give credit where it's due, Worley and the Tennessee receivers answered to the hype and played a great game.



Now prepare thy anus.
