3 takeaways from Georgia football's tight win over Mississippi State
2. Georgia defense has me worried
Now it's time to move to the other side of the ball where things weren't as great. I do have to give the UGA defense some credit because they did play well at times, specifically in the first half where they only gave up 10 points and 130 yards of total offense.
The Georgia offense even put the defense in a terrible spot after an early interception, but the UGA defense held firm and forced a field goal.
However, once the second half began things got very rocky. Giving up 31 points to a one win team is a recipe for disaster. Georgia has prided itself in recent years on having an elite defense, but that just doesn't appear to be the case yet this season.
Only forcing one turnover against a team like MSU doesn't give me much confidence moving forward either.
So hats off to the UGA offense for playing well enough to win this game, because we can't give the defense much credit at all this time around.
