And there is the issue that blows your entire argument apart. The first 4 games were meant to get the personnel and scheme issues figured out. If they haven't by now it is because we truly have big issues on defense.

Again, the same thing could have been said about our offense last year after the Auburn, Towson, and Florida games.

But then we started focusing on the run, and eventually the passing game came alive by the Bama game.


Things can be corrected during the season, but it takes time.


Now I don't think our D has the potential to become dominant the way our O did last year, but they could certainly improve, especially when they aren't playing one of the best offenses in the country.

I was one of the guys on here last week talking about the serious issues on D and that they weren't just "gassed because we went conservative".

Maybe it's just that my expectations were so low, but I did see some positive things from the D this week even though UGA played great and made plays. As someone else said, the front seven has issues and it's just kind of odd. Can't really figure out what is happening there, but trying to pressure Murray with just our front four was futile, and I think if Chavis gets creative with generating pass rush things could be solidified
