A hoot in the backfield

Using Sportradar's seasonal statistics, I pulled team sacks for Georgia, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Georgia Southern and Kennesaw State for each of the past four seasons. In just its second FBS season, Kennesaw State topped all five Georgia programs at 2.21 sacks per game (31 total) in 2025, while Georgia's total fell from 37 in 2024 to 20 (1.43 per game) and Georgia Tech's rose from 18 to 26.
