When discussing the strengths of Georgia football’s defense, a lot of questions can arise about how good Kirby Smart’s defense will be in 2019.
With some positions in question, the linebacker group is not one of them.
In 2017, Dawg fans watched possibly the greatest linebacker in school history, Roquan Smith, go to work all season long.
After Smith went to the NFL, it was very noticeable in the following season the Dawgs had lost some valuable assets at the position.
In 2018, the Bulldogs ranked 31st in the nation in rushing defense which is typically a stat that the Dawgs rank high and have a lot of success.
