Tennessee's thrilling 38-28 comeback win over Florida last Saturday pushed the Vols' winning streak to 10 games dating to 2015. It is the third-longest active winning streak in the nation and the longest UT win streak since the Vols won 14 in a row, spanning a 13-0 1998 season to a victorious first game in 1999.

A win on Saturday at Georgia would give the Vols the fifth-longest win streak in program history.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Tennessee lost two games last season in which its win probability reached at least 90 percent, including its 28-27 defeat at The Swamp.

With last Saturday's comeback win over the Gators, the Volunteers now have two wins this season in which their win probability fell below 10 percent.

Junior wideout Josh Malone is off to a quick start in 2016, opening the season with a touchdown reception in each of UT's first four games.

Malone has five touchdowns in those four games, scoring his fifth touchdown of the season on a 42-yard catch and run last Saturday against Florida.

Malone's streak is tied for the third-longest at UT all-time and is tied for the second-longest to open a season. Corey Fleming is the only Vol to start a season with touchdown catches in each of the first five games, a feat he accomplished in 1993.

Tennessee has scored 16 offensive touchdowns this season and is averaging 1:54 in time of possession on those touchdown drives.

The Vols have five TD drives of fewer than a minute this season. Their longest TD drive, coming against Ohio on Sept. 17, took 4:54. That drive also featured a season-high 11 plays.

Note: UT's overtime touchdown against Appalachian State was an untimed drive and did not factor into these averages.

• Tennessee will play its first true road contest of the 2016 season on Saturday when it travels to Georgia’s Sanford Stadium -- a venue in which it has not won since 2006.
• The Vols are 10-11-1 all-time in Athens.
• Last season, Tennessee went 2-2 in true road games. UT
dropped close ballgames at Florida and Alabama but picked up wins at Kentucky and Missouri.

Tennessee and Georgia are set to meet on CBS for the second straight year and for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Saturday marks the 12th Vols-Bulldogs game to appear on CBS.

Heralded sportscaster Verne Lundquist, who is retiring from the CBS football booth after this season, is calling his 40th Tennessee football game--all at CBS. With Lundquist calling last week's come-from-behind victory over Florida, the Vols are now 11-28 with him in the booth. Tennessee honored him with a tribute during last week's game at Neyland Stadium.

Lundquist's first-ever Tennessee game came on Sept. 26, 1987 -- a 20-20 tie between the Vols and Auburn at Neyland Stadium.

Saturday is Lundquist's seventh Tennessee-Georgia game. He called the matchup in 2002, 2004 and 2005 and has also been in the booth for the last three editions on CBS: 2012, 2013 and 2015.

Can't wait. Another step. This game is almost more important to me than Florida. Living with these clowns around me daily... Ohhh man I hope we bring the pain.

Wishing Chubb a speedy and 100% full recovery. Great player. Looking forward to watching him on Sundays and not Saturdays.
