    Louisville

    Louisville was 10th nationally in 3rd down conversion % this season. We were 79th.

    Louisville was 35th in '15.

    Louisville was 10th in '14.

    Georgia was 64th in '13

    Georgia was 37th in '12

    Georgia was 3rd in '11.

    Georgia was 79th in '10.

    So in 6 years, Grantham was bad in 2 years and 1 was Georgia's move to a 3-4

    Okay so maybe I'm not reading between the lines well, but IYOK, are you saying we are going to flip some OL commits from another school?

    Maybe Greg Little will be allowed to transfer, without sitting, since he recently told the truth when the NCAA came knocking.

    Nice. I'm not familiar with Carty. I'll have to look him up on 247 or Scout.

    I think I remember seeing that somewhere too. Also, is he going to be a DL or OL?

    Justifies UGA fans' nickname for Grantham. Though in Grantham's defense UGA lost 3 of 4 starting DB's in 2013. One now starts at Auburn and the other at Louisville.

    One of the BSR hosts said that Grantham simplified his defense when he went to UL. I love it when DCs have simple defenses. You can tell that players are just out there reacting and letting their talent do the work. I think about Joe Lee Dunn. His defense was simple but effective.

    At the college level I don't think there is as much value in trying to confuse an opposing QB because most of these QBs can't read a defense anyway.
    Death penalty or bust!!!***
