Richt looking for run defense to 'whip somebody'
Richt Concerned

When Tennessee's tailbacks trampled Georgia's defense this past Saturday, it hit the Bulldogs where it hurts - in the pride department.

Traditionally speaking, teams have not sliced open the middle of the Bulldogs' defense like a baked potato.

"It's embarrassing," Georgia defensive end Roderick Battle said. "Especially when they beat us like that, down 28-0 in the first two quarters. Georgia defense doesn't play that way. We've got a tradition to live up to. That's not something we want to happen."

I think our D was saying the same thing a couple weeks ago. The coaches also.

I'd say it starts with the middle of that D. WRs wouldn't hurt either.
