The Numbers Game: 4th Quarter Defense

In the NFL, games are won in the 4th quarter. College football is a little different but it’s still the most important quarter of football to be played, and when the game is close you want to know you’ve got the stamina to last a full 60 minutes.

Manny Diaz’ defense is giving up 17.8 points per game. That’s good for 23rd in the country. In the second half, however, the Bulldogs are only giving up seven points per game. And in the fourth quarter they are giving up just 1.8 points per game.

Three field goals in five games – one each to Southern Miss, Auburn and Texas A&M.
