Georgia's defense entered the year with elite standards and championship expectations. So far, the Bulldog's defense has not played up to par with those standards. SEC offenses have very talented players and coaching staffs, and they have been able to take advantage of this Georgia defense. And the loss to Alabama is the perfect example of that.
The defense is young overall, with the majority of current starters stepping into their roles for the first time of their careers. Senior cornerback Daylen Everette is the elder statesman of the defense, being the lone senior starter for the group.
