I have ZERO doubt that we beat Georgia

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

I don't believe that they were experimenting the night they should have lost to Mizzou (would have too if Mizzou had any offense to speak of). Hope the UGA version shows up on Saturday!!!

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

These teams are move evenly matched than you think. UT has played 5 ranked teams , where as UGA has played 1 and that was first game of the week. We are doing it against better teams and not teams like Kent State and Missouri, which I remind you could have lost both them games.

Since you are counting the Lizards, can UGA? :)

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?

That is what they said about KY .. the 24 points in last 24 games etc .. we scored 27 on them before the half .. remember they said 'KY defense was best in the SEC' and how 'LSU DLine was best' etc ..

Sure, go ahead.

That gets you up to, what? 2 ranked opponents?

Your schedule to this point has been full of powder puffs. And you let two of those puffs score 20+ points on you.

You don't have your 2021 defense. That defense is now in the NFL. You have to face us with the defense that gave 22 points to Mizzou and Kent State.

We're coming for you, Dawg. You're next.

Enjoy the game.

Go Vols!

Please don’t say that you believe Kent State is a Powerhouse now? Kent State scored 22 on them and they are a 3-5 Mac team.

This is not one of the brightest posts in message board history. You may have missed it, but our offense is slightly better than the offenses you have played thus far.

After 15 years of mediocrity you'd think we'd have some humility by now and gratitude to be where we are. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch. I hope they win, but can't say they will. Although, Tennessee is finally heading in right direction.

I believe most of us are very grateful for this season, but some like to dream big and talk shipt because of 15 years of mediocrity. That's a long time to hold your hat in hand.

You still hanging out with womanizers and running average restaurants chains into the ground? 🤣

You can’t get away from the fact that the Mutts have played a much lighter schedule than the Vols. It doesn’t mean that your team isn’t good, or that they won’t win on Saturday.

If the Tennessee Defense from Saturday night gets 1% better every day, they should be at 183% by this Saturday. They were about 70% better than the week before.
That Defense was Championship caliber. Looked like caged dogs let loose. Fast to the ball. Virtually every tackle was a wrap up by 1-4 players.
My only fear is Georgia home field advantage and fan hostility.
However, the two times I've been to Athens, the fans verbally assaulted us on the way in and through the first quarter but, by the end of the game, the stadium had half emptied, with their fan's heads hanging low.

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.

Bennett is not an elite qb. The key to stopping georgia is stopping their run game and forcing bennett to take the lead role offensively. Bowers will be a problem but if we can limit him just enough, I like our chances.

The big issue I see is UGA's offense may not be explosive but they are methodical and that is the key to beating us. An offense that can chain our own and limit possessions.

If the D shows up like they did against UK then maybe but on the road, I think UGA should and will have the advantage.

That said, I think we keep it close within a possession or two.

I haven't argued about anything. We have played an easier schedule so far.
I used to run with the womanizers until Mrs. Zippy entered the picture. Athens was a target rich environment.

Notice the team we just ransacked 44-6. They were very much a weaker version of UGA mainly because talent and the TE position.

Jalin Hyatt is a force of nature that no defense has a remedy for.
Oh, and we also still have that dude that had like 200+ yards receiving against them last year in Cedric Tillman.
Our RBs whole the middle of the field.
Our QB breaks down defense when they play their assignment perfectly with his legs.
Also, Bru is an automatic 1ST DOWN. Check his stats and see the percentage of catches as 3rd down conversions.

Georgia has a powerful oline with strong rbs. Very difficult TEs to deal with. Bowers is a pure football player. BUT, the remedy to slow them down is what you saw against UK last night. Keep them off schedule. Play a lot of bear front and force Stetson Bennett to do his own Bryce Young impersonation.

Slaughter, Flowers, McCullough, Harrison, Josephs, Beasley, want to prove to UGA that they are real Georgia ballers too.
Omari Thomas, Jabari Small, Jeremy Banks, McDonald, Tyler Barron, Cooper Mays, Jerome Carvin also want to prove Tennessee ballers are legit as well!

But back to Jalin Hyatt 😏.
Georgia...nor anyone else has a answer for his connection with Hendon.

Georgia will find themselves down 28-7 with no Bryce Young type player to bail them out.

Bowers will get his. He just will, but that won't be enough.

Keys to the game:
Throw to Hyatt and throw it deep.
Banks must neutralize McIntosh.
DL hold their own in the run game.
Hooker must run more to keep us on schedule.
Bru and Tillman keep converting 3rd downs.

Score prediction
44- 24 Vols

If UT wins this game, even by a point, I think they go all the way, at least to the playoff.
The only SEC team that MIGHT have an answer is (f)UGA(ly), and I really don't know that they do.

Watched last year's game;
UT WR's dropped balls that this year's WR's are catching.
UT's D-line was far less than this year's against the run.
UT's O-line was far less potent than this year's group.
UT was just gassed by the 4th qtr, this year that's not going to be an issue.

UT can absolutely win this game.
Win or lose, I don't see (f)UGA(ly) beating the Vols by more than 3-7, and that's ONLY IF UT's Offense has a bad game, IMO.
May see a UT-Bama kind of game, actually.

Can hardly wait. :cool:

I’m confident the Bulldogs likely could hold the Volunteers under 30 points.
I still am confident the Volunteers with a great performance including protecting the football can defeat a great Bulldogs team in Georgia.

I’m a realistic Volunteers fan which is why I’ll admit it’s a very realistic possibility that the Bulldogs defeat the Volunteers in Georgia.
