They saw Florida missing half their starters on defense and beating a decent SEC team on the road with the healthy side of the ball absolutely dominating.

Georgia stayed because they late covered a spread. Anyone who watched the game saw trouble for Georgia. I mean..you averaged 4.3 YPP and 2.9 yards per rush vs Arkansas. That is bad.

I didn't watch that game, but how much of that was Georgia shooting itself in the foot and how much was it Arkansas really giving them trouble?

Cuz that shooting yourself in the foot thing gets cleaned up and you end up with a final score like we saw. Means Georgia is probably a much better team than people are admitting too.

This was the most surprising thing, obviously the 1st half pass game was not doing any favors for the run game but in other years they are picking up half a first down every run against this Arkansas defense.

That’s because Mathis couldn’t hit anything. Arkansas sold out to stop the run.

I didn't say anything about Georgia looking good. Why so defensive?

Florida's offense looked great.

Most teams ranked in the AP Top 3 however do not give up 35 points and 7.9 yards/play to unranked opponents. I understand Florida had lots of kids out, but there are some major red flags with the defense.

Everyone knows Georgia's offense was horrific in Week 1... I'm just a bit unsure why folks are giving the Florida defense such a pass when they struggled mightily. Had someone told you on Friday evening that the Gators would give up nearly 8 yards per play on defense, there's no way you would have been content with that. Yet somehow everyone's whitewashing the stats and pretending like it didn't happen.
