While I agree the D is doing OK, let's not try to polish a turd by making excuses for them in the Georgia game. They were owned from the first snap of the ball through the end of the game. They may have eventually been gassed but that doesn't account for the fist two quarters of complete domination of MU's defense.

If the MU offense wants a lesson in how to dominate a game, without the best offensive talent in the SEC, all they need to do is go back and watch tapes of the Georgia game. Georgia simply dominated them with the most basic plays by chewing up yardage and clock one short play at a time (of course MU allowed many to be longer plays).
