Georgia football podcast: One way in which UGA’s defense has quietly shown improvement

Beginning of the show: It’s undeniable that Georgia’s defense has disappointed in the biggest games this season. The Bulldogs allowed 41 points in a loss to Alabama in October and 44 points a few weeks later in a loss to the Gators — 38 of which came in the first half.

However, that doesn’t mean that UGA’s defensive performance has been all bad.

Despite giving up too many big plays, UGA’s defense has also found a more productive pass rush this season than in recent years. In fact, the Bulldogs are tied with Florida for tops in the SEC in sacks.

I’ll explain why that metric could foreshadow future success on today’s show.
