Georgia football: 10 quick takeaways from the Dawgs 10th victory

5. Dawgs defense allows 17 points, but it doesn’t matter

Who cares if Georgia football gave up 17 points to Tennessee? No one should because this defense did its job, and it was bound to happen this season. Does it make the Dawgs any less elite? No, Georgia had players sick with the stomach flu, and they were still playing their tails off because they wanted to beat Tennessee.

The only number that matters after this win, in the big picture of things, is 10-0 and became one of the three remaining undefeated teams in college football.

Tennessee has a well-coached team, and Josh Heupel knows how to call an offense. Georgia still kept the Vols out enough. To beat them by 24 points is impressive and what Georgia needed to prove to the world no matter the offense. If they can rattle them enough, it’ll give Georgia’s offense enough time to score.

This year, Georgia has given up 76 points, which is the second-fewest allowed in school history behind the 1950 squad, which allowed 58.

The Dawgs average 7.6 points a game, and that is elite. Georgia could still have a better scoring defense than the 2011 Alabama squad, and it’s going to be interesting to see how close they get to achieving that.

Tennessee did what others couldn’t, which should say more about their offense than the defense’s inability. Plus, a few questionable calls from the officials allowed them to score late, so it’s honestly nothing to fret over or care about because they are still the best in the country.
