UT - 59
Kentucky - 20

Travis Henry ran for 139 yards and three touchdowns and set a school rushing record as Tennessee beat Kentucky 59-20 in his final game at Neyland Stadium. Casey Clausen finished 19-of-24 for 362 yards and four touchdown passes.

Henry surpassed James Stewart's 2,890 career rushing yards to become Tennessee's career rushing leader with 2,894 yards. Henry's 14-yard run in the fourth quarter gave him the record, and started a celebration on the sidelines. Tennessee had to call a timeout as the Jumbtron showed highlights of Henry's career.

Former Tennessee coach Johnny Majors, who was fired and replaced by Phillip Fulmer in 1992, returned to Neyland Stadium for the first time. He was honored with his 1985, 1989 and 1990 SEC championship teams before the game started.

So what you're saying is UTEP about to watch a Dylan Sampson highlight real come Saturday when he runs in that 2nd TD?!?

2 things we need to happen Saturday that will go a long way for us. Florida beating Ole Miss . Helps us 2 ways with the win over UF and also giving Ole Miss their 3rd loss.
Also it would help if Auburn beats TAMU, give them their second conference loss and then need them to beat Texas the following week. UGA Tech will be a big game in 2 weeks as well. As long as we handle our business and one of these others happens I think we are in good shape

Running an offense that requires perimeter player speed/twitch and athleticism combined with pace with a bunch of lumbering WRs, a young QB and dogsh*t OL will def limit you.

Teams are playing deeper against us and keeping everything in front of them. Undoubtedly we shoot ourselves in the foot and stall out.

blows my mind that we hardly blitzed Saturday, knowing that Beck is bad under pressure. Borderline coaching malpractice imo. It seems like every year there is 1-2 games that makes us go “wtf was that?” ig that uga and arky were those games this year, like mizzou and uf last year and uscjr in ‘22

They coached scared.

You go in there with nothing to lose.

That said, UGA is a good team. Arkansas was the absolute head scratcher.

I remember before the season started (and even early in the season) when many posters here were stating that our WR corp was one of the major strengths of the team. I always felt it was average at best.

It shows that we were very competitive. Hopefully this kind of stuff is studied by the CFP but I doubt it

I think Georgia played like they'd been there before. That was clear from start of their comeback.

They are more talented on OL, on its worst day. And more talented on Dline - which isnt saying much as we just arent great there.

Skill wise, their WR's are just better.

Their Refs were also pretty good. Thought they were very aware of what we were doing all game. Couldnt have asked for a better game than how they executed on Sat.

Lol. First time I think I've seen anyone suggest we're weak at DL.

Getting open out wide is difficult. The sideline is a defender and the WR has limited route options. An SEC CB that is determined not to get beat deep is hard to beat deep, no matter how fast the WR is. UGA plays a lot of man or deep zone concepts against UT and forces most passes relatively short—lots of hitches and curls. Longer throws also require protecting the QB longer, and it’s just low percentage to heave it along the sideline.

It looked to me like UGA wanted to defend against the big play and make UT sustain drives by running the ball and taking short passes. Sampson (who is an absolute stud) made UGA pay, but not enough to force a change in the game plan.
