Georgia defense unhappy with ‘subpar’ performance despite allowing 6 points in win over Missouri
Georgia football gave up 6 points to Missouri, yet the defense was unhappy with its performance

I get the need to nitpick. That’s how good this defense (and, potentially, team) is and can be. But comments like “If they had made a field goal and scored at the end, they would’ve topped 14 points…” are asinine. They could have…but they didn’t. The defense had something to do with that. You could throw out endless hypotheticals, but that would be a huge waste of time.
I really wish the writers would Eliminate garbage time from their vocabulary. When we are up by 30 and we put in the second or third string, then that’s the proving grounds. That’s the an opportunity. It’s not garbage. It’s our future.
The offensive line played well below sub par. This was the worst ranked run defense in D-1 football in the nation and they stuffed our run game for most of the day. That won’t get it done against the better units. Slow start today in the first quarter for the Dawgs but they wore them down and took over.
The missed FG and the failed 4th down pass was much more on failed execution on Mizzou's part and little to do with our defense.
The pass on 4th was open....their starting QB completes that pass, and probably a few more through the game.
It's ok to acknowledge they didn't play well and we're lucky to allow less than 13 points.
I felt like the defense came in subdued from the huge letdown of having Adam Anderson suspended. It seemed like they were not hitting on all cylinders early as they figured out how to play without their sack leader. I know the motto is supposed to be "next man up", but there isn't another player on the roster who has the size and speed of AA. The defense is going to have to regroup and figure out how they are going to pick up the slack. Travon, Nolan and Nakobe are going to have to rise to the occasion.
THe QB draw got us a few times other than that they didnt really move the ball that well on us. THe last drive was on the back-ups. They bent but didn't break.
Twice UGA has topped 40 points...before today. Had UGA not been "sub-par", I truly believe they would have scored high 50s or more. I know Jamaree and Adam out of action played a part. But whipping an SEC opponent by 37 points and having a sub-par day doing it is phenomenal...IMO.
UT’s up tempo, downfield passing game will cause some problems early next week. UGA will need to be efficient on offense against the defense optional Vols. They will need to find ways to slow things down in order to keep rotating in players, especially on the defensive front. They will also need a better job on containing the QB run. That seemed to be where AA was missed the most today.
