I caught this post on another site. I don't know if the stats have been verified, but it makes things a litlle interesting.
Common Opponents... defensive stats
I know that this is only 1/3 of the football equation. But this is exactly why UGA fans should hold our head high going into the game on Saturday.
There are 6 common opponents with UGA and LSU (Ole Miss, Miss St, Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, & Florida).
Over those 6 games, UGA gave up 9 fewer first downs (68 to 77).
UGA gave up 9 more total yards (1252 to 1243).
UGA gave up 484 more passing yards (1127 to 643).
UGA gave up 460 fewer rushing yards (122 to 582).
UGA had a MUCH better opponents 3rd down conversion ratio (23.17% to 32.05%) or (19 out of 82 versus 25 out of 78).
UGA created 2 more turnovers (14 to 12)
UGA had the ball a WHOPPING 16:57 more in time of possession.
UGA held the opponents to 1 fewer rushing TD (1 versus 2)
UGA hed the opponents to a MUCH lower rushing per attempt average (0.8 versus 2.77)
UGA gave up 2 more passing TDs than LSU (4 versus 2).
UGA had 7 more sacks (28 versus 21).
UGA had 1 fewer INT (7 versus 8).
Despite UGA's massive advantage against the run game, UGA was also very close to LSU in the opposing QB efficiency rating.
Against Ole Miss (52.37 for LSU and 79.39 for UGA).
Against Miss St (91.38 for LSU and 85.43 for UGA).
Against Auburn (106.35 for LSU and 110.41 for UGA).
Against Kentucky (63.38 for LSU and 81.19 for UGA).
Against Florida (104.38 for LSU and 105.53 for UGA).
Against Tennessee (63.76 for LSU and 115.90 for UGA).
If LSU has a National Championship caliber defense... then so does UGA.
And a defense like that can be more than capable of allowing Aaron Murray an opportunity to win the ballgame late in the 4th quarter.
