Enough with Worley and receivers, let's talk Defense.

The defense is giving up more yards and 3rd down conversions than last year.
But they are making more big plays and take aways.
Last years defense would have lost the game at the end 56-55. (More points via Bray/ Hunter.)

PS: Butch gets it but instead of saying how bad these kids are, he says they're learning and growing every game.
He needs at least 2 good recruiting classes, especially on defense. (and that's what separates the men from the boys in the SEC)

If our freshman QBs aren't any better than Worley or Peterman, then we better be recruiting more QBs. Manning, Clausen, Schaeffer, Ainge, and Bray all started at QB during their freshman year, although some were about midway through the year.

Worley does some good things at QB, but he simply misses too many wide open receivers.

Wu aren't great but when they are playing well they usually get gassed bc they are on the field the entire game. Thanks O!

I've already posted this a few times, but I'll say it again: When you score 31 points and barely beat a Sun Belt team, the quarterback is not your biggest concern!

UF does it just fine. It's called a zone blitz. Its supposed to generate pressure and confusion. You can't just play cover 2 all game.

It's a pretty big deal when we scored 0 points for the majority of the 2nd half and throw 3 INTs....granted one pick may have been Pig.

I thought Worley did good in the first half, but the collective team performance in the 2nd half was awful.

Yeah... its not our biggest concern that Worley can't even throw a 5 yard slant route without it being behind the receiver

South Alabama converted on a 3rd and 9, 3rd and 15, 3rd and 10, and a 4th and 9.

Discuss that.

It's easy. Most of the problem was because our offense is so horrible and went 3 and out so many times that our defense was gassed. And with us not having much depth that just compounds the problem.

On two of those third down conversions, and maybe others that I missed, the QB just pulled the ball and ran--outrunning our defenders. We need another outside LB with speed, badly--hello, Maggitt.

I really like Chavis, but I made my wife watch the last few minutes of the UGA/ LSU and guaranteed UGA would score...with ease.

My main point referred to Bray. Where are all those posters who celebrated when Bray left and said he would have been beaten out by Worley or Peterman anyway. Anybody still believe that to be true? Same thing happened when we had Casey Clausen. Blaming Bray for the defense giving up an average of over 40 points per game to every decent team we played was not his fault. The best QB that ever lived can't overcome a defense that allows the opponent to score at will.

Never saw anybody blame Bray for our pathetic D last year. Just blamed him for 1. Being a knucklehead and a poor leader 2. Playing poorly late in games when we needed a score 3. Playing poorly in the biggest games, vs key SEC opponents

^^ditto, I felt the same way....figured that UGA would have a fairly easy time and was not disappointed.

When we get the athletes to play more man coverage, we'll be able to better compete....it's very simple actually
