SEC targets Georgia's defensive line with new rule change

Related Topics: Georgia, Southeastern Conference

The SEC announced a new rule at SEC Media Days last week, and this rule seems to be targeting a strategy Georgia football has been utilizing to their advantage on defense. This rule change will penalize defenses that have "actions that simulate the snap" before the snap actually occurs.

Up until this point defenses have been able to shift and move as much as they want before the snap, but this change could significantly alter how Georgia's defensive line operates going forward.
