So I looked at some stats I believe are crucial for this match up. It looks pretty much dead even with the exception of 2 things. Turnovers and penalties.

Yards per play almost dead even. We allow about a half yard more per play than uga and our offense gets .2 more per play.

Turnovers. Uga has caused 9 and given up 9. We have caused 16 and given up 8. This is huge.

Scoring is tricky. We score just over a td more per game, but uga allows about 11 ppg fewer than we do.

3rd downs is pretty even on both sides. Uga is a little better on both, but not significantly better.

Red zone is another uga advantage as they score .979 and allow .621. We score .955 and allow .719. Again, not significantly better, but they are better.

Penalties. Uga averages 39.25 yds per game in penalties. We average 73.88. This can be a huge thing as it can obviously kill drives.

TFL is a win for us. We average 1.6 TFL per game more. I think this can be a big deal. We give up .12 more TFL per game.

Sacks is a win for us as well. We average almost 1.5 sacks more per game. However uga doesn't allow but .88 per game and we allow 1.6.

All that being said, home field is typically worth 3 points. I think this will be another bama type game. If we clean up the penalties, I think we win. If not, it is a coin flip.
I agree coin flip.

Pitt- 6 pt favorites
Florida- 10 point favorite (we should have covered but the 4th got hairy)
LSU- 2.5 pt favorite
Bama- 8 point underdog
Kentucky- 11 pt favorite
We have covered the last 3 fairly easily and the first 2 seemed to be handicapped about right by the way the game played out we spilt those 1-1 ATS though


Tennessee is 7-1 ATS with the only loss coming to Florida when we lost concentration in the 4th. Only Tulane (7-1) is as good ATS. Gonna be a fun game. This team is special

UGA 38-30. This will be the best chance UT has to beat UGA in a while.

Curious why you think that. You lose your QB next year too right? We’re gonna be recruiting out of our minds and the portal will be wide open for us. Sure we’ll have an adjustment to our next QB as Hooker truly is special, but Heupel is the QB-whisperer:

7 of 8 Teams that were initially ranked #1 by the playoff committee have appeared in the playoffs.

I like our chances especially if their best linebacker is out. Mims also banged up on the Oline. This game is all about Georgia blitzing and how our Oline does to shut that down. If Georgia can get to Hooker we win.

Bennett is criminally underrated but I don’t think he’s capable of scoring in bunches if this turns into a barn burner.

That 1-9 record win KS gives up 30 or more though.......
True. But every game is different. Hats off to CJH and his lads. They've exceeded most expectations.
CKS played your system, against mostly the same dudes, last year. As for 2022, UGA's losses on the defensive side of the ball and UT's maturation is worth about two tuddy's for UT, IMHO. In the friendly confines, me thinks UGA will get his.
But hey, anything can happen.

We have reached common ground.

Epic matchup, College Gameday on campus, winner in the driver's seat... can't wait!

Vols will put up points, but not as many as they're used to.

Vols D will have issues with the Dawgs TEs and RBs receptions out of the backfield.

Vols have done a great job at protecting the ball, almost always winning the turnover battle... while the Dawgs, not so much. So, there's that.

However, there is no way the Dawgs will commit 17 penalties like the undisciplined, goofy Gumps.

In the end, while the Vols will put up a valiant fight, the Dawgs depth, scheme, & home crowd will be too much for the Vols. Dawgs by around 10 points.

I know that Bennett is a clutch player, but I don't think he is better than B. Young.
I think that there is enough to say that if Bennett has to Scramble a lot then we win fairly easily.

Curious why you think that. You lose your QB next year too right? We’re gonna be recruiting out of our minds and the portal will be wide open for us. Sure we’ll have an adjustment to our next QB as Hooker truly is special, but Heupel is the QB-whisperer:
I will attempt to address your curiosity, at the risk of being assaulted like a donut at a weight watcher's meeting.
UGA got a loaded QB room.
I know UT got a top rated 5 star coming in, and that won't be a bad thing, but UGA got two 5 star QBs that may never see the field.
Under CKS, according to the 247Sports recruiting rankings, UGA has had no lower than the number 3 recruiting class for the last six years. The current class is ranked #2. The strength of your recruiting class generally portends future success on the football field. UT should see their recruiting classes improve under Heupel, but the immediate difference in the two programs right now is depth. UT has been fortunate to be mostly injury/legal system issue-free in 2022. When CKS has to put in the next guy, he's usually as good or better than what you've got. ("you've" being the opponent. I'm not taking a shot at UT). That's a result of 1)Getting good dudes and 2)Developing those dudes. It takes year after year after year recruiting out of your minds before you have sufficient depth to be a perennial contender.
The portal can be an weapon, and UT and others have loaded the wagon with transfers. But for every HH in the portal, there's a Brenton Cox Jr. Agree?
Your guy seems to have the knack for developing his QB. Without HH, what is UT? I guess we will find that out next year. Best to you and your team come Saturday.

Watch what happens with Tillman this week. Hyatt will get doubled up and Tillman will probably have a ten catch 150 yard and three TD game. I can feel it coming.
I called this yesterday as well.
Also, keep an eye on Fant or Warren!
Heupel has been putting a whole lot of Princeton Fant on film the last few games.
