My favorite stat about the Texas defense this season is that its 2 worst games defending the pass were against Michigan (204 yards) and Kentucky (211) … and both were games in which the starting quarterback got benched.
Yeah, that’s rock solid.
If you take away the defensive scores, Texas allowed 11 offensive touchdowns in 8 SEC games. Just for a little perspective, the historically dominant 2021 UGA defense allowed 7 offensive touchdowns in 8 SEC games.
Again, rock solid.
In their last 3 SEC games, Texas’ defense only allowed 2 touchdowns.
Don’t count the pick-sixes against Texas’ defense.
Instead, pay more attention to another excellent stat.
Texas’ worst 2 games in yards/play allowed came against Michigan (5.1) and Florida (5.0).
Also of note, the Longhorns led 24-3 and 35-0 at halftime in those games. Yeah, telling.
Pete Kiatkowski’s group is elite, especially with a healthy Andrew Mukuba. It’s got All-SEC guys at every level.
That’s why it’s the best defense in America in yards/play allowed (3.99).
OK, last great Texas defense stat.
Georgia gets credit for having the best offensive showing against Texas this year (30 points) even though Beck averaged 4.3 yards/attempt and he threw 3 interceptions for a UGA offense that only had 1 scoring drive that was longer than 34 yards.
That’s as solid as it gets.
