Here's their blitz percentage from the last 6 years. You'll see how much that percentage fluctuates due to the personnel they have that year. Last year they blitzed more because they couldn't generate any organic pass rush whatsoever.

2025? They are back to 28% so far. A team that blitzes a lot or a "ton"? Illinois. Their blitz rate this year is around 60%. You saw what that got them against a team that can pass the ball last week when they played Indiana.
My point remains, they are not going to leave their DB's on an island with our match-up of receivers and I doubt they rely solely on their safeties to cover our guys in the slot. If they do, it could be another long day for that UGA defense. To Terry's point, we don't play the same style of offense that UT does but I think Grubb could take a page out of the UT playbook and spread things out a little more. I like what our guys can do in an open field too.

I understand he had surgery yesterday. It wasn't a short procedure; several hours.
I don't what the surgery entailed. I can only speculate about a neck/spine injury. Several hours makes me think it was complicated; like discs or spinal fusion. I don't know.
The first was a completion and a gain.- YouTube

Here's some clips of it being pretty effective. If anyone has questions as to why on any of these clips, I'll explain.
The second was a running back with a gain.
The third pressured him into an incomplete pass.
There's nothing there that explains their lack of tackles for losses. Or, the lack of sacks. In both cases, ineffective, right?
If it hasn't happened ...
.Maybe he lets the dogs loose this weekend. Maybe Bama can't handle the pressure. We don't know. We haven't seen anything this season that supports they are a sack machine or a defense that lives on TFL's.

A stunt is not a blitz by its very definition. It's not unless they have changed the terminology and didn't inform anyone else but you.
A blitz is about sending extra players to rush the quarterback, while a stunt is about manipulating the existing rushers to create confusion and exploit blocking schemes. A defense may choose to use either or both tactics depending on the situation and the strengths of their players.

All three of those plays were effective, and were due to the blitz. In the first clip they force him to get the ball out quickly to his underneath receiver. Georgia has a guy covering underneath and makes the tackle. Forcing them to punt the ball(which they desperately needed), they then go down and get points off of it. I'd call that pretty impactful.
In the second clip, they fill all gaps and eat up blockers, not allowing them to work up the second level. That allows the safety to scrape down and fill in that play. They then force them to a field goal and keep it a one possession game. Pretty impactful, right?
Third clip, they once again get pressure on him and force him to get the ball out quickly, leading to an incompletion and field goal. They would then go on to win the game because of this. Impactful? Absolutely.
I get what your point is, and they do need to get better at it. But that isn't the only criteria for a blitz being effective. All three of these clips I posted were impactful, and had a big hand in them winning the game.

Yes, it's a concept within a blitz. But it's STILL blitzing. When you send two backers down and cross(stunt) them, that is a blitz.
I see a lot of people make broad generalizations when it comes to football, meaning this certain thing has to mean one thing. When it doesn't, I've seen it done when discussing defensive formations as well. An example being the 'tite' front, or 'mint'. People often think this only applies to a team like Iowa State, who runs a tite front, but they run a 3-3-5 stack out of it. Alabama/Georgia also runs a tite(mint) front. But they run it where they have a jack backer almost all the time. It's the same thing, just ran in different variations.

You're doing exactly what I referenced earlier. You're not the first I've had to deal with when discussing stuff like this, and probably won't be the last. I don't think you understand what I'm saying, and instead when hearing that one word, you associate it with that one thing. Like I said earlier, lol.

1). Listen.
2). Notice how it's a different variation to what I showed? Wow! Right?
Again, I'm specifically pointing to sacks and tackles for losses. Neither of those fit.
We can point to one sack and two TFL's recorded against UT. We I see 12 of 14 TFL's coming against AP and UM...doesn't spell effective. It's spells "'suppose to."
This is also the reason I amended the original question to compare UA's and UT's offenses.
Who is AI linking there?

No, you really didn't prove your argument with some tripe about a tite front which would also be fine by me. Let them do that and we will open the outside zone runs (perhaps utilize a jet sweep) and put a kabash on their edge rushing.
This UGA defense is good but its also vulnerable. After that display against UT, they have to prove me wrong every bit as much as we have to prove we can win on the road against anyone but LSU but I digress.

Again, I get your point. And I agree, it's important to get all those mentioned. But my point is you don't have to have all those for a blitz to be effective. If they do what they did in those clips, and combine that with getting sacks/TFL's.... they're going to be a scary defense to go up against.
I do think we can take advantage of their secondary, we've got the skill players to do so. We just have to be good at picking up our blocks and not allowing free runners to Ty. If he gets time, he can pick them apart.

I believe Match quarters. Maybe from some other sites as well. I'm not entirely sure.

A variation of what you have shown? Would that not pertain to just about anything?
