08:16 AM ET 03.05 | This year, the D is for "depleted" in Athens. It's not a stretch to state that no other unit in college football has lost as much talent as the Georgia defense. Linebackers Jarvis Jones, Alec Ogletree and Cornelius Washington, defensive tackles John Jenkins, Kwame Geathers and Abry Jones, safeties Bacarri Rambo and Shawn Williams, and cornerback Sanders Commings are all departing Athens. That's an incredible amount of talent lost from coordinator Todd Grantham's 3-4 unit. In all, the 'Dawgs lose 12 players on defense who started at least two games for them last season. There are still a lot of talented defenders on this roster, though, including defensive ends Jordan Jenkins, Garrison Smith and Ray Drew.

If you wish to compete, UGA, your program must reload as well or better than standard-setter, Bama. In the past, Richt's staff has shown that they can do it. I suspect that they have "hidden treasures" on the roster.

The beauty of CFB is no player stays past his prime. A few brief seasons of grid iron glory, and then on with their lives. We get to watch new heros every year. Will they be as good? We don't know, that's why we're excited for spring ball, summer camp and the start of the season.

Sometimes you have to go with what you've got, and their offense is bringing back just about everyone.

Um, the Dawgs played Bama in the SEC CG, swapped the lead with them, and came within ~5 yards of winning it. Crappy? Only the Bulldog Nation goes there. You and all other outsiders are denied trash talk. Only Dawgs fans can trash talk their team like that.

Tin Man, I'm not "trash talking" the Bulldogs!!!! Why are you "even" talking about last season and the SEC CG??? The article stated: "This year, the D is for depleted in Athens"!!! As I stated before, "I really like Georgia's offense, especially Aaron Murray, "THIS YEAR"!!!!!!!!!

March 5, 2013  12:42 PM ET

Bama's D lost a lot from 2011 and their 2012 version wasn't too shabby. It will be interesting to see how the Dawgs and LSU reload.

I agree and what I'm looking forward to is September 14, 2013 at College Station, to find out if Bama's defense has reloaded!!! :-)

Yup...nice rainbow about 20" and had a big bull tout on but he took me in to my backing and broke off....other than that just some little ones. Beauty of a weekend though and I was happy with what I got (and didn't quite get). Had some choice words when the bully broke off...echoed through the canyon too lol
