re: If Texas never beaten Georgia, would they still be getting all this preseason hype?

Saying UGA was unmotivated pretty much means the fanbase is sticking their head into the sand.
I saw before the game Georgia was going to have major issues because to beat Texas you needed to spread them out and attack them vertically. UGA refused to do this and this more than anything was the reason why they lost.
Georgia is a Top 2-3 team when they run the ball
When they can't they are slightly above average.

This was the same reason why LSU beat them. Texas' DC plays a very similar style to LSU.
When Tom Herman got the Houston job Dave Aranda recommended Todd Orlando to Herman.
Only two defenses that stopped Lamar Jackson...2016 Houston and 2016 LSU. Orlando and Aranda.


We can go back to the previous year and Auburn. DSOR was determined because Auburn stopped Georgia from running the ball.
