In what way(s) is UGA better than last year?

It would have to be the defense, would it not? Better pass rush and pass defending secondary?
Is their O-line better? Running backs? Receivers? I do not thing that Fromm is elite.
LSU has a defense that has started to play to its billing lately.
How do the Tigers not win this game convincingly?

Their Defense is statistically better in every category, esp rushing TDs allowed (only 1 all season).
Worth noting that their offensive opposition decreased considerably from last year to this year.
Last year the average opponent offensive rank was 43rd. This year, it's 72nd.
O-Line returned everyone. Probably the best O-Line in the SEC.
Jake Fromm and the passing game has gotten worse. Likely due to the attrition and WR/TE being significantly weaker.
While Swift is still a beast, RB overall is weaker after losing Holyfield. Swift will also be a bit banged up.

Oh my bad man i thought he was asking a generic question about UGA overall as a team, not a game specific question.

That was my thought as well. I see a convincing win if LSU stays focused.

Nice information. Thanks

Thought I'd share my post from tRant.
They've padded some stats against some pretty poor offenses.
Arkansas State, Murray State, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame for OOC. Notre Dame is the highest ranked offense they have faced this year at #47. Source.
They played Tennessee's backup Quarterback.
They played Missouri's backup Quarterback.
They played Kentucky's QB who is still listed as a WR. No, seriously.
They played South Carolina's Wildcat QB for ~2 quarters.
They played Florida's backup QB.
Vanderbilt. (1 - 7 in the SEC)
In fact, the only starting QB they played in the entire East was Vanderbilt, played 3 cupcakes as OOC and finished up with single possession wins against the West.
That is as much of a paper tiger as you will find outside of Clemson this year.
Here.
Their defense isn't actually that good.

Also, their defensive stats are somewhat skewed due to the shittiness of their offense.
When they are up by more than a score against decent teams who need to score to stay in the game (which is the situation that LSU is in basically all the time), teams score against them.
They got outscored 13-6 by A&M and 14-7 by Auburn in the second half (7-3 and 14-0 in the 4th Q) when those teams were down and needed to score. Notre Dame scored last to cut that game to one possession.
South Carolina trailed twice in that game and scored within 2 possessions both times.

I'm glad you did the research. As Saban did, we should be pumping them up as the best team we will face all year.

I wonder if UGA will have any kind of passing game...at all. If not, I do not see how they outscore LSU. Just do not see it.
