UGA isn't very good at ILB.
Our run defense isn't as bad as the numbers appear. We are playing 2 high nickel defense a lot against 11 personnel. We are basically giving the offense numbers and letting them drive on us until they run out of room (many times, they shoot themselves in the foot and kill their own drives).
We went single safety against Kentucky and stuffed both Snell and Wilson. That doesn't mean our ILBs are good. But a lot of our stats are based on scheme.

Understand he is comparing UGA's team to Bama's teams from a time Saban went with bigger linebackers and Mount Cody plugging the middle. These teams almost never gave up 100 yards rushing. A team could move the ball with an accurate qb but nobody ran effectively on Bama back then.
