Georgia football: 6 exciting takeaways from the national title victory

Georgia football stuffed the Tide’s rush attack

Georgia football wants to prevent teams from getting a rush attack because it usually means long drives that keep the defense on the field when that happens.

While Alabama starting running back Brian Robinson had 22 carries for 68 yards, starting quarterback lost 43 yards which means the Tide finished with 28 carries for 30 yards.

They averaged 1.1 yards a touch, which is about as elite as it comes when talking about rush defenses.

Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Devonte Wyatt, and the rest of the defense made it a point to prevent Alabama from getting momentum on the ground. The Tide had a little bit when Georgia started to get tired, but the Dawgs quickly shut that down from continuing.

Through 15 games, opponents averaged 78.9 rush yards a game and 2.6 yards a run. Georgia’s front seven is the most elite in college football, and they proved it in the game that matters.

This group didn’t want the sour taste of the SEC Championship Game in their mouth anymore, so they did their job to get in shape for this game and stuffed the Tide.

Whoever got their rush attack going would be the winner, and even though the Tide found a ton of success against Cincinnati in the semifinals, they didn’t see much against Georgia.

Georgia being able to shut them down and make them one-dimensional without their top two wideouts helped the Dawgs prove a point. They refused to give up, and their determination outweighed the tiredness.
