Georgia Vs. LSU 2011: Bulldogs Searching For Respect

Saturday's SEC Championship game may be for the SEC Championship but could have little impact on the National Title picture. Many experts are predicting that an LSU loss to the Bulldogs would not prevent the Tigers from playing in the BCS title game.

"I think our defense is just as good as theirs, if not better," he added.

Safety Shawn Williams echoed Jones' claim about the Georgia defense

Georgia safety Shawn Williams not shy when comparing his team's defense to LSU's: "I really do think we're better than they are.

Georgia will get its chance to earn respect on Saturday.
