My question to the Vent: How bad is the Pass D? Follow up: Is there a chance the Vent has exaggerated how bad it is (me included because I've been hard on the D in general)?
Consider the following:
Considering only the 5 P4 games, Georgia's Pass D has had 1 horrendous performance against Bama and 1 bad performance against MSU. The rest of the games weren't terrible statistically speaking. Even in the AU game which wasn't great, the D held them under 60%, to their 2nd lowest ypa, and gave up no TDs. Was also well below their season avgs for passing. And the Clemson and UK games were also the best or 2nd best that any team had played those offenses.
So does this context change anyone's opinion about the Pass D? I don't think it changes mine at the ELITE level (they aren't ELITE and against ELITE Os like Bama, they will likely struggle), but I'm not sure they are quite as bad as I had originally thought either.
