What turned Georgia around?

Posted by Mike

While many have pointed to the return of AJ as the turning point in the Dawg season, there may be another component to their three game win streak.

It appears the new defensive scheme has finally clicked into gear.

Check out the stats below:

Opponent Rushing yardage

Louisiana-Lafayett 14

South Carolina 189

Arkansas 53

Miss St 166

Colorado 235

Tennessee 9

Vanderbilt 58

Kentucky 70

In UGA's four wins the opponents have an average rushing mark of 38 yards per game. In the four losses that number is 162.

While it certainly does not hurt having AJ back on the O, more of the credit for the turn may need to go to the D finally catching on to the new system and shutting down the easy run yardage.
