Georgia’s defense took a step back in 2020 after a phenomenal 2019 season in which the group ranked top-five in the FBS in nearly every category.
Last season, though, the Dawgs just seemed soft on defense, especially when it came to the passing game. After ranking 31st in the nation in 2019, Georgia’s passing defense ranked 88th last year, giving up 248.7 passing yards per game. Georgia’s rush defense, however, has now ranked No. 1 in the nation in back-to-back seasons, giving up just an average of just 73.4 yards per game on the ground over the last two years.
