I have ZERO doubt that we beat Georgia

UGAs schedule is backend loaded for the tough games but is much, much easier than ours overall. They already played SCAR, Vandy, Mizzou (respectable team), and Auburn.

They also opened the season against Oregon in ATL and crushed them. Oregon is playing much better now but would still at best be a 4th or 5th place team in the SEC East or West.

They also played Samford and Kent State which I suppose is comparable to Ball St and Akron.

After Tennessee, UGA has road trips against a faltering MissSt and an exposed KY team as well as perennial speed bump GA Tech.

I was actually surprised at the Kent State buy game as the final score was 39-22. They must have played a lot of scrubs throughout that game on both sides of the ball.

I’m not confident but I will say that before we played Bama I told my wife we had a better chance of beating UGA than Bama because I felt like we were better at defending Georgia’s strengths than we were at defending Bama’s strengths.

This team has exceeded my expectations in maybe every game this season. If they do it again we have a chance

We left a lot of points on the field vs Kentucky. We haven't played our best game yet. If our offense plays a clean game and our defense plays like it did vs Kentucky, we will win vs GA.

I think if GA blitzes every down they are going to be able to stop Hooker.
i.e. like Pitt did

They were still in experimentation mode that game.

They're a good team! Close to what they were last year.

Howevs that National Championship team would have absolutely lost to Alabama had they had their 3 starting WRs. Can't just say "well that's part of the game". Hey...they were starting for a reason lol.

Our vertical attack is one of the best ever seen in college football. If we wanted we could throw for 400 a game. But we like balance.

Georgia will have their hands full.

And I think we absolutely do get back to 50 points

Not a good matchup for the Vols defensively. GA will score a bunch. Pressure will be on the offense to score every possession against a great defense in a hostile environment. I'm not saying it's a sure loss, just likely. No matter, the Vols have far surpassed anything I could have dreamed this season.

Ordinarily, I'd agree with you, but the Vols have proven me wrong week after week. I think I'm still in shock after so many bad years, and now here we are in year two of Josh Heupel. I sorta feel like I'm in the twilight zone, this season has been so surreal.

Georgia will have better athletes in the secondary and on the Defensive Line

Georgia has faster, not stronger RB, and a much much better O Line

Georgia has elite TEs

Georgias weakest points are their QB and lack of take your top off WRs

They key to the game will be our O Line and Hookers decision making.

We need to make our FGs

We gave grown by leaps and bounds since that game in pass protection.

Also, we "stopped" Will Levis yesterday.
Hooker had 370 total yards and 2 TDs against Pitt.
No turnovers.

Our OL doesn’t have the star power or pro prospects theirs do. But we’ve averaged almost 200 yards rushing in 4 SEC games. And Hooker rarely takes a sack. I’d call that a push.

Bama also had great athletes in the secondary. You know how you neutralize that? Confuse them. Our receivers are talented enough to win 1 on 1 matchups. McCoy almost always gets single coverage and he is a fabulous possession receiver.

I think it’s going to come down to which QB plays better. These are probably the 2 oldest QBs in college football. Bennett just threw 2 INT, which is more than Hooker has thrown in the past year.

I think it’s going to come down to the lines of scrimmage. UGA had had HUGE advantages on both sides of the ball for a long time. Now? Not so much. If our DL performs like it has been then it’s gonna be tough for UGA. And if our OL can continue to play strong then when have a good shot.

The most any opponent has scored against UGA defense is 22 pts this season, so thinking that this is going to be a high scoring game is based on what?

The most anyone had scored vs Alabama was 26 by Arkansas until we doubled that 26 by hanging 52 on Bama and none were defensive TDS. So it’s doable.

Our Defensive Backs need to stand up and beat their chest like they did against Kentucky, Stetson is no better of a QB than Levis is and that is the truth will set me free

Starting to get “team of destiny” vibes. We win next week and it’ll be hard to say it’s not.

As previously stated on VN, This team got rolling with the OT Win @ Pitt, as the 98 Team did at 'Cuse. The bama game was similar to to the 98 Arkie game, it looked like an L after the fumble 6, but the determined Vols won it at the end. Hope the secondary can keep improving, I still saw some missed tackles vs Uk. Bennett won't miss the throws that Levis did. My advice; have plenty of sedatives on hand....... Go Big Orange!

The main intangible about this game is that it is in Athens. If it was in Knoxville than I would have no doubt with the way Neyland has been a live.

Then again if it was in Knoxville, that just wouldn't be fair to the rest of the SEC having Alabama, Florida, and Georgia all at home.

Yeah, out toughest games were vs VERY athletic QBs. Bennett is pretty mobile, but NOT like those 2. I'm hoping Young and Baron hit him early & Often. Harrison& Beasley too. Don't hurt him, just knock him silly.
