re: Too much attention on the QB's...the main issue the last two games is defense...

Specifically, third down defense. Georgia was 7 of 13 on third down...Texas A&M was 10 of 15. Two really bad defensive performances that were not expected. Why do you think our defense sputtered down the stretch?

While very different teams, both A&M and UGA had things in common.

Both were road games, and we have sucked in all but one this year. No mystery there.

Both teams have more talent than we do. UGA’s is more much developed and experienced, but A&M still had a definite advantage, especially with Weigman at QB and Achane at RB and us missing JBC.

Both teams were balanced in how they attacked us. Our defense did well against teams that lacked balance, like State, Arkansas and Ole Miss. I would say Bama too, in that they are totally dependent on Bryce Young.

We struggled badly with teams that were balanced. Remember FSU? I know that was early and we were missing some guys on defense and still learning the scheme, but they stretched us with their balance. UT REALLY exposed it. UGA did the same last night.

The surprise was A&M because they’ve had mediocre to poor QB play all season and lived on a plodding run game. But King and Johnson aren’t on the same planet as Weigman and they are a different team with him at QB. He was accurate throwing the ball and was able to run enough to pick up 3rd downs when we blitzed, especially in the first half. That balance killed us, especially without JBC in the secondary. We are very dicey back there without him.
