I am getting tired with writing off their game at Georgia. Tired of Georgia fans as well. I want to see the meltdown if Tennessee happens to win this game.

There was another team that had been dominant and looked a lot like this Georgia team. Just two years prior, people have stated they had the best team in College Football. That team was Miami. In 2003, Tennessee traveled to Miami and beat them in an ugly, sloppy defensive battle 10-6. I think how we played Miami in 2003 might be our best bet on how to beat Georgia this year.

Carson Beck threw 3 INTs and the passing game struggled against Texas. Tennessee needs to have Georgia do that, have their defense control the game, and the offense just be serviceable enough to not make mistakes and score once or twice.

Is it possibly, yes? Tennessee did it in 2003. Can we do it again?

They will not have played a defense like ours. They will know that early. Probably plan on it. Kirby is a great coach

Sure, it's possible. Tennessee can bring the kind of defense to beat Georgia. The question they have three weeks to answer is - can they bring the kind of offense to beat Georgia?

At least we won't go into this year's game with Kirby barking at his team all week about how "nobody respects them."

Our oline, especially our tackles, would need to have a great game.
Nico would have to be on target and make better decisions about when to run and not take sacks.
WR need separation and help Nico by making the tough catches.
No turnovers. No stupid penalties.
No long pass plays especially to their TE.
Dline make Herman Munster (I’m sorry but that’s who he looks like) uncomfortable.
Make all field goals.
Catch all punts instead of letting them roll twenty yards.
Quiet the crowd by taking an early lead.

We beat Miami 10-6.

Just like Tennessee, Georgia's weakness seems to be its offense as well. I am expecting a nasty, defensive game with ugly offensive play, turnovers, etc.

The only advantage Georgia has on offense is its experience and Georgia commits far less penalties.

Heupel has beaten good teams on the road, but we're yet to beat an elite team on the road with him as our HC.

We're not gonna keep their crowd quite all game. The biggest thing Heupel can do, particularly with 2 weeks to prepare, is have the team prepared to deal with a hostile environment. Running the offense off a silent count without multiple procedural penalties would be a huge start.

Bama had most their 1st half running success getting to the edge. Well have to do something similar. It seems to me (going of 'feels', not rewatching) that most our runs are between the tackles. We pull the LG to the right side on an off-tackle counter alot, but that seems more designed to read the DE more than get the edge. I'd like to see something creative to test the edge along with a few QB designed runs.

I just hope were not caught looking ahead. I can remember, I think it was 1979 (correct me if I'm wrong), Notre Dame was on the schedule here. We played Rutgers here and got beat. The next week we played Notre Dame and beat the crap out of them.
Definitely, play one game at a time .

Win time of possesion and run for 275 yards and play with no turnovers and less than 10 penalties.

Force at least 3 turnovers and get constant pressure on Beck with 7 sacks.

Have at least 1 st splash play.

The good news is the UGA defensive line is back at full strength. We will get to see where we stand on offense. There are no doubts about our defense. We walk out of there with a win and we are definite SEC championship contenders.

Play defense and run the football.

I don't know if Georgia can get to 21 against our defense. Hopefully we can put 28+ on them. Whatever Alabama was doing, Georgia looked like they'd never played football in that first half, then Alabama went into ride it out mode and Georgia came back.

Georgia couldn't move the ball against Kentucky, only had 260 total yards against them. Miss State drove it up and down the field on them and he's off the Heupel tree. I won't be stunned if they lose to Ole Miss the week before we play them. They don't appear to be what they've been the last few years.

Honestly, they play one every day in practice. I think we can win but we absolutely need some turnovers, hopefully Beck will be in a giving mood, like Saturday, instead of the mood he was in last year in Neyland Stadium.

2003 Miami isn’t on the level of UGA right now. Sorry. 2001? Sure. The only way I see is beating UGA is if they just implode. They have been our kryptonite ever since Heupel got here. And with the way our passing game has struggled? You cannot be one dimensional and beat UGA. Right now that’s what we are.

Unless the passing game improves dramatically, it will be another multiple TD loss.

I think we might finally have the defense to give them a game. I’m shocked how our defense hasn’t been worn down when the offense can’t move the ball, especially against Bama, who beat Georgia.
