Episode notes
Georgia Defense Is Not Elite This Year
- Georgia's defense this season is significantly down from its elite past with weak pressure and sack rates.
- Tom Fornelli highlights ranking metrics like pressure rate (120th) and EPA allowed (108th) to make that case.
Pass Rush Has Fallen From Last Year's Peak
- Georgia's pass rush has regressed compared with last year's two games versus Texas despite still producing TFLs this season.
- Fornelli contrasts last year's 13 sacks in two meetings with this season's modest pressure numbers.
Texas Needs To Score To Win
- Texas must score to beat Georgia because Georgia's offense can put points on the board and Texas' offense struggles at points-per-drive.
- Fornelli notes Texas averages 2.25 points per drive and drops in SEC play, so their offense needs to be effective.
