The Georgia Bulldogs’ defense hunkered down in 2019, producing one of the greatest and most efficient defensive seasons in the school’s history.
Georgia finished last year ranked No. 1 in the country in overall team defense. It allowed just 12.6 points-per-game (1st in CFB), as well as 276 yards-per-game (3rd in CFB).
The Dawgs’ defense allowed two rushing touchdowns for the entire season, the best in all of college football. The next fewest rushing touchdowns allowed was more than double that: Oregon allowed five.
This is about the best you can possibly expect out of a defense playing against such a tough schedule, but for Georgia linebacker Monty Rice, it is two touchdowns too many.
