I know the season is only about half way over when including the bowls, with plenty of football to go, but I am curious how they stack up against some of the legendary defenses from Alabama, Miami, LSU, etc.

Right now they’re on pace statistically to be tGOAT. We’ll see what happens once they’re in the playoffs.

Before the “they aint played nobody PAAWWWWLLL” folks chime in, the 1992 Bama defense, & 2011 Bama & LSU defenses didn’t play anybody either. 2016 Bama defense got Deshaun Watson in a championship game - or else they’d have been the undisputed GOAT, IMO.

From the little I’ve seen they may be up there.

Maybe they haven’t played elite offensive teams but the last elite Ds we saw in the SEC were before everyone (including the most talented teams) had gone full spread no huddle.

Well no ones quit so you can eliminate LSU , no ones in prison so Miami’s out . Bama we have to maintain these numbers and win it all
Or it’s a failure

The answer to your question is it is waaaay too early to tell.

What you are really wondering is if UGA would beat Baylor by 35 this weekend... the same Baylor that is going to push Texass shite in. The answer is yes.

So... there you go.

The 2011 Alabama D gave up 7 ppg. Lets revisit the 2021 UGA d in January

The 2011 Alabama D only faced 9 power 5 teams all year (regular season and post season).

We can revisit this in 2 weeks.

2016 was a better defense due to having played MUCH better offenses than that 2011 team

If this defense was going against offenses that didn't run a spread offense and run as many plays as possible they would be even more dominant. It is just hard to compare bc of the offenses now.

VASTLY MORE EXPENSIVE

$30,000,000 is the estimated cost of the entire team. Defense is the bigger portion of that.

Wonder who the rich boosters in Southwest Georgia who are distorting the entire college football foundations are...

They are par with the 1992 Alabama defense.

Taking a look at who Georgia has played this year, the best offense they faced was Arkansas (who they shut out)

Total Offensive rankings:
#117 Clemson 3 points
#84 UAB 7 points
#114 South Carolina 13 points
#124 Vandy 0 points
#18 Arkansas 0 points
#30 Auburn 10 points
#76 Kentucky 13 points

Average: #80 6.5 points

Georgia's defense has certainly done what they should do so far, and they have certainly been elite. They've only given up 4 offensive TD's all season so far. The Florida game is gonna be interesting, since that'll be the fist top 10 defense (#9) that they've faced.

2011 LSU and Alabama both had some absolute dogs on defense, and the amount of nfl alum has spoken for that.

Fan asks question about Georgia, and the first aggie response immediately transitions to the longhorn football season. Like clockwork you guys are so adorable

A lot of people don’t understand that to statistically be the best of all time you have to be a little lucky with the competition you face

Thanks for responding to another Aggie post to tell us all how obsessed we are with something.

Clockwork.
