Stanford (along with ucla and cal) a bunch of jew-hating socialist/libtard social elites too busy smoking organic weed and taking stock hints from mark zuckerberg and the rest of the Silicon Valley fraudsters to know their heads from their a$$es. Of course he doesn’t know what Seinfeld is.

One of many streaks I’ve hated. Tennessee hasn’t played a soft No. 1 in ages. Every time they’ve played one in recent decades, that team has had elite, deep talent and was playing at an extremely high level. And given we play Georgia and Alabama every year, it’s allowed this streak to be quite long…

Odd that UT has only 2 wins over #1 in history..................

Try clicking this button below on the tweet next time and copying the URL and pasting that here. Should be easier for you than trying to highlight and copy out the contents.

Sept. 28, 1985. Auburn visited Knoxville 2-0 and No. 1 in the country. Running back Bo Jackson was just beginning an eventual Heisman campaign, having rushed for 495 yards against Louisiana and Southern Miss, but he managed only 80 yards in 17 carries against Johnny Majors' Vols, who bolted to a 24-0 lead and cruised 38-20.

That's the last time the Vols beat a No. 1 team. Opportunities to end 38-year droughts don't come around too often, but that's what awaits the Vols on Saturday.

It's probably good that this game pops up on the schedule when it does. Tennessee has no time to mope following last week's 36-7 blowout loss at Missouri. There probably isn't a top-10 finish in the cards this year, but wins over top-ranked teams are immortalized. So are wins against two-time national champions.

It's safe to say Georgia has found its rhythm. After getting by with the bare minimum for most of their first seven games, Kirby Smart's Dawgs have calmly raised their game as the stakes have gotten higher. They sandwiched a tough 30-21 win over Missouri with blowouts of Florida and Ole Miss. Against the three ranked opponents he has faced, quarterback Carson Beck has completed 73% of his passes at 14.2 yards per completion and averaged 316 passing yards per game. He comes up big when required, Georgia-style.

Maybe the most surprising parts of Tennessee's loss to Missouri were that the Tigers gained 255 rushing yards and went 11-for-17 on third down. Tennessee ranks 12th in rushing success rate allowed (25th overall) but couldn't knock the Tigers off-schedule even a little bit. Georgia always tests your physicality first, and the Vols will have to push back far better this time.

They'll also have to score touchdowns. They're kind of important. Thanks in part to turnovers, Tennessee created plenty of scoring chances against UGA last season but couldn't convert them. It's been an issue this year as well: The Vols have scored touchdowns on just 51% of red zone trips, 110th nationally. But this has been a strange issue for Georgia this year, too. Its opponents don't get many red zone opportunities, but they score touchdowns on 70% of them, 111th nationally. If Tennessee can make the most of its chances for once, the Vols can score enough to keep the crowd in the game.

Big plays wouldn't hurt either. Quarterback Joe Milton III is averaging a pedestrian 12.0 yards per completion. He averaged 18.3 in limited action last season, and predecessor Hendon Hooker averaged 13.7.
