Which defense will be most improved - Clemson's or UGA's?

Everyone agrees that both offenses should be outstanding, but the question seems to be which defense will be the most improved from last year?
Looking at these charts and the production UGA lost on defense, and considering our returning defensive depth and the fact that our secondary is much more experienced than conventional wisdom suggests, I would give the edge to Clemson. Georgia may end the year with a good defense, but they will likely take a while to jell with all of the new players they are expecting to contribute. Check out sections 5-8. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/6/4/4394440/georgia-football-2013-preview-schedule-roster

Better be us, if we hope to win.

The story of this game will be Clemson's D vs. Georgia's O.
Unlike LSU, Georgia actually has an offense. It's not just about not giving up big plays, it's also about getting the ball back so our offense can go to work. If our D can't force Georgia to give the ball back to us, it will be a hard for Clemson to win.

we're going to need to balance out our passing attack with a solid running game

I feel VERY good about our front 7 and depth.

No worries about blanks at safety.
This defense could be great or good depending on the development of the secondary. If the freshman come in and 2 or 3 of them are legit contributors (as freshman) and push for playing time we could be great.
Great defense and vastly improved secondary = 11 or 12 Wins.
Good D and OK secondary =9 or 10 wins.
Great D also = ACC Champions
Oh Yeah... we need to avoid the injury bug that hurt our already suspect secondary last year. Got to give Spurrier credit for using the NC St. film to his advantage! So glad we get 2 weeks to get ready for them from now on. People overlook that advantage. It's HUGE.
Very pleased with Venables as well.

This is the million dollar question. All I can speak for is our D ... and all I have to say is ... "I DON'T KNOW!".
Who would have ever thought that our D would have performed the way it did last year ... especially against the run.
Early season games are usually about the D with the O coming along weeks 2 & 3. This one just may be one for the records books.
What a team loses is important, but just as important is who will be filling the holes. Unfortunately we have some young guys that will have to fill some important holes. To perdict a sound secondary for UGA would be nothing more than high hopes. Just like to assume that who we lost is all that matters.

Dude saying bothe defences will be outstanding is a joke!!! First of all Georgia lost to many players and will take a few games to get going and second Clemson's def. hasnt been good for 4yrs and to put outstanding in the same sentence as clemson's def. is a JOKE!!!! Did you watch the 2012 season!
