Game will be won in the trenches. If both lines play like we did against Bama, offensively we will score as many points as we need to. Defensively we will force Stetson Bennett to be Bryce Young to beat us.

If that happens, I like our chances. Like a said before, we match up well with what UGA wants to do offensively. Stop the run and slow down those big TEs.

If Hooker has time, he will carve up their defense.

I am so proud that we have a team that nobody wants to play...I think Kentucky did because they really thought they could beat since they almost did last year, and they have had a massive chip on their shoulder ever since. I don’t think they will ever be "wanting" us again...well they may next year since they will still have a chip on their shoulder and think they can take us since we won't have Hooker, Tillman and a lot of other key players...but if we are gelling by the time we get to them they may not.

The time is coming when we will reload instead of rebuild...just a couple years of really good classes and we will be there.

I think that if we can figure out a way to consistently get pressure and get home a few times on Bennett, that will be the #1 decider in this game. If he is able to just sit back there and throw it all over the yard, its over with. We can't just clog the run up with loaded boxes and dare them to beat us through the air like we did Florida, it will have to be a total defensive effort.

Absolutely. And they certainly aren’t good enough to score 60 on us. We’ll score 45 on them

I have no doubts that CJH and CAG will scheme to have the same success. Can the Vols win upfront consistently though is the big question. Can they pick up the blitz packages, are the backs willing to pick up that LB that comes free and set the tone early? Can Tennessee run the ball effectively enough to keep them guessing? Most importantly can Slaughter and company build of Kentucky and continue to cover well?

personally I’d like to see Slaughter come down hill and challenge Bowers just to let him know Tennessee is coming and we ain’t backing down.

I am wondering if we played Doneiko at CB Saturday night to give him some game experience and see how he holds up, because I think we are planning on letting him be the third CB who is assigned to Bowers.

AR and BY had career days against us, We still won. Now, our secondary is healthier and playing better. We have rotated in so many guys that the depth is there. SB is not BY. They are not the same at all. SB can be baited into mistakes. He is quick, not fast. His arm is OK, but nothing like BY. If the d-line maintains their lanes and contain, he could be in for a long and painful afternoon.

Our LB's have enough quickness and speed to match up with their TE's. Have them play underneath with safety help over top. Makes the throws more difficult for SB.

UGA has great talent. But they are not a speed team - speed in tempo or speed at the skill positions. That gives our coaches the opportunity to scheme and play call well. Stop the run, stop the TE's - stop UGA. We have already proven we can do that successfully.

Kirby is a quality D coach. Is he better than Saban and Stoops? Nope. Heup is an O genius. Good luck with that Kirby. You are going to need the help of the zebras and us turning it over.

I keep coming back to what many have posted, the schedule. Smoking a quality opponent at home in the first game with no other quality wins is not nearly as impressive as battle tested wins over 5 top 25 opponents at home and on the road with one being Bama - the equivalent of a UGA. Sorry, one win over an Oregon team at home doesn't move the needle for me.

UGA won it all last year, but they lost once badly to Bama in the process. They then shipped off a boat load of players to the pros, especially on the D that won them the natty.

I also keep coming back to the preparedness of the team and coaches. They approach each game the same way. They know that if they do what they should do they will win. Cedric is the X factor. He is our version of Bowers for Hooker. But how do you scheme a D to prevent Jalin, Bru, Princeton, RBs, etc. from carving you up as well? Hooker has confidence in all of them. He distributes the ball the way Heup wants based on the reads the D gives him at the LOS.

We will soon learn if the Birmingham will allow another program in their club this season or not.

I'm thinking, yes. They see the national sensation the Vols have become and want the dollars and attention that comes with it. They know there is Bama and UGA fatigue. Introducing another elite option only helps the SEC overall, especially when they know all eyes will be on the game like they were in the Bama/Vols matchup. They call it fairly and as a result,

Before we played Bama, I looked at Bama and UGA and said that Bama looked better. We beat Bama. We can beat UGA.

I saw it the same way. I am more concerned with a Bama rematch in the SECCG. I think Birmingham is more likely to zebra us in that one as it would assure two SEC teams in the playoffs.

If we beat UGA and lose to Bama in SECCG, we're in the playoffs, agree?
