ESPN analyst and former LSU football player Ryan Clark has big praise for Georgia

Former LSU and NFL defensive back Ryan Clark had some lofty praise for the Georgia Bulldogs and their defense.

College football fans took notice of the Georgia Bulldogs at the start of the season, when they shut down the Clemson Tigers by the score of 10-3. Perhaps the biggest reason for their win was due to the performance of their dominant defense. As the season progressed, the defense solidified itself as downright terrifying for the opposition.

On Saturday, Georgia shut out the No. 8 Arkansas Razorbacks in the first half. During the game, former NFL defensive back and LSU Tigers great Ryan Clark tweeted out that there is simply no defense in college football better than Georgia’s.

Ryan Clark’s huge praise for Georgia’s dominant defense

Seriously, is there a defense better than Georgia’s this year? The stats certainly back it up.

Entering Saturday, the Bulldogs have allowed just 181.8 total yards per game and 3.27 yards per play, both of which are the fewest in all of college football, per NCAA.com.

Again, their greatest showing came against Clemson, where they limited quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei to 178 passing yards and the entire Clemson rushing attack to just two yards on 23 carries! In the next three games, they only allowed a total of 20 points between UAB, South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

Georgia’s defense will create tons of problems for the remaining opponents on their schedule. LSU fans have to be breathing a sigh of relief that they are not one of those teams.
