We're up at the top of the conference in just about every defensive category for SEC conference play:
Scoring defense: 23.7 ppg
That's good enough for third behind Bama and Florida
Rush defense: 117.67 ypg
That's second in the conference behind Bama at 117.25 ypg. That's a difference of less than half a yard. We're first in conference play giving up 3.53 yards per rush.
Pass defense: 240 ypg
Good enough for 7th in the conference. Right in the middle. However, we're second to Florida in yards per attempt at 6.3 and third in QB rating against at 119.98.
Total defense: 4th at 357.7 ypg. However, just like passing defense, we're second to Florida in yards per attempt at 4.99 yards per play. We're the only two teams giving up less than 5 yards per play.
Third down defense: 1st at 30%. Yeap, we're first at stopping the other team on third downs in conference play. Third down defense always seems our biggest weakness to me, but we're doing a great job so far.
Sacks per game: 1st at 5 sacks a game. Georgia is second at 3.2 sacks per game. Which leads us to...
T/O margin: 1st at +2 a game. In three conference games we've taken the ball away eight times and given it to the other team twice. Three teams are tied for second at +1 a game.
Tackles for loss per game: 2nd with 7.33 TFL a game. First is Auburn at 7.5
