To a large degree I agree. We are weak at lb and safety and now cb. All in all we did well with what we have. We were in the game until then end even after 3 to’s. That is amazing!Well even thru the turnovers, we still had a chance, but what we had seen offensively all year is about what we got today. However what some of us thought about our defense beyond stats, really came home to roost today. This is at its best an average defense and to UGA's credit, they easily exposed the most obvious weaknesses today. Unlike when they played LSU 2 weeks ago, UGA did not give up on the run early in this game. They then exposed our LB's and Safetys in man to man pass coverage b/c they knew how poor we are in those areas. And as a team defense, when we needed them most they completely failed. Yes the D made a terrific stand after the Franks fumble, but for 50 seconds at the end of the 1st half they bent and broke. Then after we cut it to 23-17 early in the 4thQ. they bent and broke badly and in a hurry, culminated by an easy TD pass to a top WR isolated against one of our safetys. Amazing how we get exposed by other coaches in the pass game, yet we seem to not be able to get those matchups against other teams. Or maybe we do, but Franks just can;t see it?
