The Bulldogs defense wasn’t great in 2016, but they were good enough especially considering their youth. Barring something unexpected, Georgia will return nine starters on the defense. And only one back-up.

Georgia already rotates a lot of defensive linemen and linebackers throughout games, but both units are getting another surge of talent with the 2017 recruiting class. The defensive backs is probably the Bulldogs best unit of 2016, and through recruiting they’ll be able to reload in 2017.

Georgia’s 2017 defense has a ton of potential, the Bulldog Nation does not want a change in defensive coaching to dampen that potential.
