Let’s set the record straight on Tennessee’s defense and why Georgia could actually struggle against it
I’ll highlight a huge key point here:
Here are all the games in which the Dawgs
allowed 30 points in the Kirby Smart era:
- 2016 at Ole Miss: L, 45-14
- 2016 vs. Tennessee: L, 34-31
- 2017 at Auburn: L, 40-17
- 2017 vs. Oklahoma: W, 54-48 (2OT)
- 2018 at LSU: L, 36-16
- 2018 SEC Championship vs. Alabama: L, 35-28
- 2019 SEC Championship vs. LSU: L, 37-10
- 2020 at Alabama: L, 41-24
- 2020 vs. Florida: L, 44-28
- 2021 SEC Championship vs. Alabama: L, 41-24
That’s right. Georgia is 1-9 when it allows 30 points under Kirby Smart. It’s 73-6 when it holds teams to less than 30 points.
Meanwhile, Tennessee has 11 consecutive games with at least 34 points.
