I wouldn't put that 51-7 on the D. That was a team effort. I also wouldn't pin the fumble runbacks on Roof, since the D was on the sidelines.

Just pointing out the end results in regards to points are virtually the same only Roof had 3 extra OTS

10-4. Just saying this isn't Roofs first rodeo as Tech DC.

100% of our wins are the "fault" of the offense. Yes, occasionally the offense doesn't perform well and is at fault for a loss.

But what % of our wins are the "fault" of the defense? When is the D going to actually win us a game?

*this is not a pro Tenuta post

Interesting question. The jock sniffing "...but Roof was da man on the Black Watch defense when I was in school!!!!!" fans among us should be forced to answer that question.

Watching Spencer Romine and his Forrest Gump knee braces scramble over our defense in 99 makes Ted my whipping boy sometimes unfairly.
I know Tenuta would get eaten alive by today's spread offense. Still those defenses were alot more fun to watch, imo. Linebackers flying around the field hitting the qb is appealing to me. Now maybe Nix being my whipping boy back then might have something to do for my appreciation of Tenuta.
 
I didn't include this earlier but GT won the TOP IN 2013 AND 2014. UGA won TOP the last two years. 2016 by a large margin
 
Looking at the whole game, the defense played better than the offense. However, the defense turned a stellar performance into an OK one by giving up a TD right before the half and a FG to win the game after a long drive at the end. There is just something about a Ted Roof defense that makes them better on first and second down than on third and fourth and better in the early and middle portions of the first and second halves than at the end. I think this is what drives us to distraction and kicks up nostalgia for Tenuta and his corner, safety, and linebacker blitzes.

OK, now for a fairer comparison let's adjust for average possessions per game and remove overtime scoring:

Removing overtime scoring, Ted Roof's average is 22.75.

Now, I don't have the possession stats handy, but a conservative guess is we have 75% of the possessions under Roof that we have under Tenuta.

Tenuta average points scored by UGA (possession adjusted): 20.5
Roof average points scored by UGA: 22.75

I don't want Tenuta but it doesn't seem like he's done worse than Roof when you correct the stats.

You could argue our defensive talent is less than the Tenuta days. The DC is partly responsible for that.

I was just told less than an hour ago how good Missouri's run defense is and that UGAg embarrassed their D and we should watch out

Missouri: 109th against the run
Missouri: 125th total defense

GT: 26th against the run
GT: 15th total defense.

It's odd how when the offense does nothing in the second half, including repeated 3 and outs, the defense starts to look shaky near the end of the game. I noticed the FSU defense doing the same thing against Alabama when FSU's offense kept giving the ball back to Bama.
 
All these stats and not a single chart, graph, or diagram. Three pages in
 
Roof's GT defenses in games in which the offense scored 25 points or less:

2013 VT - L - 17-10
2013 BYU - L - 38-20
2013 Pitt - W - 21-10
2013 Ole Miss - L - 25-17
2014 Duke - L 31-25
2014 Clemson - W 28-6* (Defense scored 14 points)
2015 Notre Dame - L - 30-22
2015 Duke - L - 34-20
2015 FSU - W - 22-16* (ST's scored 6 points)
2015 Clemson - L 43-24
2015 UVA - L 27-21
2015 VT - L 23-21
2015 Miami - L - 38-21
2015 UGA - L - 13-7
2016 BC - W - 17-14
2016 Clemson - L 26-7
2016 Miami - L - 35-21
2016 UNC - L - 48-20
2017 Miami - L - 25-24* (STs scored 7 points)

Record - 4-15
Avg points allowed - 26.26

Pts allowed is dead on with his average pts allowed vs Power 5 (26.38.)

I would say the defense won us the 2015 FSU game and the 2014 Clemson game. Watson going down in that one obviously helped a lot. The conditions were awful for the BC Ireland game and they were a bad offensive team. I don't remember the 2013 Pitt game...

2015 Clemson - L 43-24 - we scored on defense

2016 Clemson - L 26-7
2016 Miami - L - 35-21 - Miami scored twice on defense
2016 UNC - L - 48-20
2017 Miami - L - 25-24* (STs scored 7 points)

Record - 4-14
Avg points allowed - 25.6

Pts allowed is better than I would have thought and is slightly less than a point below his average against power 5 teams.

Just off the top of my head.

I could only dig up TOP back to the 2003 season but here is what I found for TOP stats under Tenuta vs Roof. Last year shocked me and for the record we are #2 behind Navy so far this year.

T.O.P

2003 - GT 9th
2004 - GT 40th
2005 - GT 8th
2006 - GT 69th
2007 - GT 49th

2013 - GT 3rd
2014 - GT 4th
2015 - GT 34th
2016 - GT 60th
