Defensive stats and lies

Don't look now, but Georgia is in the top 20 nationally in some important stat categories:
We are also the only team in the nation that hasn't allowed a play over 40 yards, and we've only given up two rushing plays of more than 20 yards. 

As for passing, we are 27th in yards per game allowed, 31st in passer rating allowed, 31st in passing TDs allowed, and a middling 51st in completion percentage allowed. We are 117th on 3rd and middle yardage in completion percentage.

I'll get to what all of this means against Arkansas later, but Arkansas is 107th in passing yards per game. In so many ways, their offense looks just like Georgia's offense, with without the expectation of their starting QB to look like Matt Stafford.
