I understand that our Defense is impressive. but the offense is currently ranked 9th in the NCAA. I dont ever remember that being the case.

Not to bust any bubbles here but lets keep in perspective considering who we have played. On D, we haven't faced any Offensive juggernauts but the O has placed a pretty strong D of VT (we think anyways).

We're #3 in the SEC in sacks allowed. So between that, and Greg's pass efficiency, I'd say they're pretty close to answering those two big pre-season questions. :smile:

Yeah, I understand that. But who in the country has played 3 big games? Cant think of any. Bama played VT, USC played Ohio St, Michigan played ND, and so on. But who else have they played. I know its early in the year. This week the Tide will face off against a good defense and a coach/ QB that likes to ssling it around.

UGA has played to toughest schedule so far, IMHO. They haven't done well defensively but they played atleast 2 teams that had pretty good offenses. All of their games have been against better opponents when you measure the overall body of work at this point.

I believe UGA has the toughest schedule in FBS. It is nasty.
