Georgia possessed one of the nation's best defenses last season.
Statistically, the Bulldogs ranked sixth overall (294.9 yards per game) and eighth against the pass (168.9) Given head coach Kirby Smart’s track record on the defensive side of the ball, conventional wisdom would suggest more of the same in 2018.
But with the spring season concluding over a week ago, Georgia’s players themselves aren’t sold that the defense is in that position just yet.
Sure, that’s a familiar talking point for anyone four months away from the start of the regular season. Then again, what the players had to say made sense.
