With the departure of Mel Tucker, the biggest question surrounding the Georgia football program was how well the defense would execute under new defensive coordinator Dan Lanning.
Through nine games, Georgia’s defense has only given up 91 points total, so it’s easy to say that they are performing better than expected.
On Wednesday, the first-year coordinator was nominated for the Frank Broyles Award, which is awarded to the nation’s top coordinator.
Georgia’s defense has accomplished a lot under Lanning this year. Going into the game against Auburn, Georgia leads the SEC in scoring defense at 10.
