He Can Coach Folks

I am going away from the normal college football playoff blog and talking about how UGA has absolutely been dominating since the suspension of Todd Gurley. Having someone to fill in like Nick Chubb is huge, but the main reason why Georgia is playing so well is the emergence of their Defense. Right now UGA leads the country in turnover margin with a +13 and all signs are showing that it will grow against Florida in two weeks. What is the reason behind the defenses success? This guy...

Yes this mans name is Jeremy Pruitt. He was hired back in January after he led his number one defense at that unethical school called Florida State. After the Suspension of Todd Gurley I sent out a tweet saying... 

I would say after a shutout at Missouri and a first half that only consisted of letting up 6 points against Arkansas has Pruitt earning his money. The defense is playing up to the expectations put on Pruitts name. Players like Damien Swann and Qunicy Mauger are beginning to shine. This comes from being comfortable and confident in what your coach is trying to do. I am a firm believer that any defense whether a 3-4, 4-3, or 4-2-5 has the potential to be dominant as long as you have players that buy in and are allowed to use their athletic ability to the fullest. This is exactly what Jeremy Pruitt is doing right now at UGA and he certainly has the Bulldawg nation buzzing about him. Let's keep the defense rolling and I can not wait to see the success continue as we go into Jacksonville!
