Incredible

 

[C-south]

50 yard fumble recovery for the TD

 

[feathersax]

Just got very interesting. Wild finish ahead?

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Against all odds...this has turned into a tight, exciting game.

I'll allow it

 

[DC_Vol]

This game reminds me that Tennessee’s team is so far away from being elite.

 

[volinbham]

SB throws the mooniest of moon balls

 

[BreatheUT]

Heck of a touchdown throw. Bennett can make those but I didn't think UGA had a receiver other than Pickens that could make that play.

 

[VolPack22]

I have a feeling #6 for Alabama will be in the transfer portal after this game…

almost every team is

 

[lilesrt]

No doubt about it.. these are the best 2 teams.

 

[Delmar]

Latu spikes the ball on the TD right in front of the back judge. No call. Just being picky now. Georgia has done plenty to hand this game to Bama. Bennett is going to have to prove he can win a big game and not just be a caretaker. Don’t know if he has it in him.

Or maybe he does. Give Bennett credit for not folding after that turnover.

We need multiple top 5 recruiting classes to reach that level.

The lateral speed on defense is absurd on both sides.

This game reminds me that Tennessee’s team is so far away from being elite.

Yep but even being outmanned we were right there with Bama through 3.

 

[DC_Vol]

almost every team is

I’m only worried about one of them though.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Looks like the 1980 jokes are coming to an end. Kirby has started making the better game plan down the stretch.

 

[Nooga]

Heck of a touchdown throw. Bennett can make those but I didn't think UGA had a receiver other than Pickens that could make that play.

Sad thing is that wasn’t Pickens. That was a true freshman AD Mitchel

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I really, really, really don’t want UGA to win this game

Harsh reality of being middle of the pack at best in the SEC. If you are UT players, how you aren't motivated to hit the weight room first thing in the morning I don't know.

 

[hUTch2002]

We need multiple top 5 recruiting classes to reach that level.

Nah. Clemson was this level without a top 5 class. They didn’t get a top 5 class until after 1 and maybe 2 NCs. Top 10 though.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

This is why the SEC is premier and other conferences are looking up. No gimmicks, no one-trick pony conference champions backing their way into this game. These two teams are battle-tested and have to bring it weekly.

We need multiple top 5 recruiting classes to reach that level.

And would need them to actually stay

 

[zeppelin128]

I'm just glad we have a good game. These are obviously the best two teams in the country. Been fun watching them duke it out.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Run game will NOT win this game

 

[DC_Vol]

Yep but even being outmanned we were right there with Bama through 3.

Look at the pass rush these teams get. Look at the coverage in the secondary without grabbing a jersey every single play. Look at the speed of all their defensive players.

We might have held with Bama for a bit, but we were outmatched talent wise.
