The Bulldogs are permitting 313.4 yards per sport and have wanted second-half rallies to get previous Ole Miss, Auburn and Tennessee.

"We received to sort of reside with the identification now we have," Sensible mentioned.

However he admitted that in a convention just like the SEC, you may’t depend on that alone. Georgia wants to search out some consistency — and quick.

"We’ve received to get it fastened," Sensible mentioned.
