I'd have to go with '02. That defense was stout with a more consistent pass rush. I also think Gibson and Edwards could go get the deep ball on the '17 secondary (see 2017 UGA vs. Mizzou).

Seeing as how the guys on the 2002 team are in their mid/late 30s by now, I'm guessing the 2017 team would take 'em. :-) :-)

2017 did a much better job of finishing a weaker opponent off.

2017. Strength and conditioning and overall depth.

Great question and very stimulating for good conversation.

However, just like with my children, I love them all the same.
