I assumed this game was over. I stopped flipping back & forth with the Penn State game. Then I turned the tv off until checked the scores & saw Georgia got off the mat & made it a game.
15 minutes in real time before Georgia took the lead, nobody thought it was going to be a game.

Instead we got one of the all-time classics and what could've been Georgia's biggest comeback ever.

Winning touchdown and winning interception made by freshmen.

In the end it's 4 turnovers and a safety by Georgia. When these two teams meet again, that won't happen.

@JojoTheWhale the WIP like contingent of the fanbase desperately wants to move him back to off the ball LB. He had his two sacks on the last drive when they had him drop back & spy the QB. So they’re convinced that’s the only time he makes plays. Even though he was wreaking havoc all game both in the pass & run game on the edge. The counting stats just weren’t there until the end. He got off slow the first two games but the last two it’s looking like it’s starting to click for him. The last game was Kent State so it what it is. They didn’t drop back for a pass much & he probably didn’t play enough snaps anyway. But Illinois is probably his best game so far against a solid team that has pretty good OT’s. He was drawing double teams at times & still getting pressure/penetration.

Man. Same fanbase that should have learned from Parsons too. Obviously he's not what Parsons was off the ball, but he's still solid. I just don't understand why you'd want to move these guys further off the ball. His best ability is his first step. The last thing you want to do is mute that.

There’s decent proportion that thinks you’re either getting sacks or you’re not doing anything on a pass rush. PFF still had their team in the top 10 in pressure rate even before the Illinois game but they had like four sacks so that meant the pass rush sucked.

Honestly if I have questions with their defense so far it’s their coverage. Not that they’re bad but teams have some success against them as really nobody has been able to run on their front seven.
