Tennessee Has 1 HUGE Advantage Against Georgia (Nobody knows What it is)

Someone on youtube said that the way you stop or limit UT is to stop their run without adding guys to the box. Not wrong. If you can stop UT's run game primarily with 4 DLs and a LB then you can give help to cover the WRs.

But that is a big challenge. The OL is playing well. UT has two RBs who are running well.... and if you figure that out... Hooker can hurt you too.

Im not sure you can stop it at this point, maybe at the first of the year but its a well oiled machine now, we adjust extremely well to what opposing defenses are doing, they may stop us on one possession but next time its gonna burn you.

And the first game where all our guys are healthy. What timing!

Isn’t that how you stop literally every offense that’s ever been invented?

True. It's like saying the way to stop the 90s Bulls is to slow Michael Jordan without leaving the shooters to double team him. It sounds possible in the game planning sessions, but it falls apart in game.

If the Vols can play mistake-free football, they will win this game. Hooker is making all the right reads. Ball security, penalties, pressures, picks and special teams will be the difference.

If the the Georgia D can rough Hooker up, keep him uncomfortable, then they have a good chance. Hasn't happened yet, but they are #1 for a reason.

The advantage we have is the coaches, especially Heupel. Folks assume we are just a fast tempo team with an exceptional QB. And great WRs. Fact is, Heupel schemes according to the defense he faces. It may look the same game by game, but fact is, he adjusts how we attack based on what opposing defenses tend to do. Our advantage? Adaptability.

I heard someone say yesterday that Saban said TN was easy to prepare for and Miss State was a harder offense to prepare for.

He didn’t say they could stop TN.

Speaking as a former wrestler your best take down move is the one your opponent knows is coming but they still can’t stop it.

Thus far no one has been able to stop them and hold them under 30.
Kirby loses when teams score 30 or more.

In his second installment, this UGA film guy says it is the only way to stop UT. This guy knows his stuff and just gushes talking about the Vols. Now he thinks UGA has the horses, and they did last year. We will see.

I think I have noticed over last few years (under Kerb) that the Ga. defensives have been pretty adaptable. (however, not so much against Fla. last weekend)

Said it all along, the only team in the country that can stop TN is TN with penalties and TOs. Ref: 2nd drive against KY. Just take care of biness. BIG win Saturday.

Opponents might not be able to stop it, but we can stop ourselves with stupid mistakes and turnovers. And as we saw against UK, the zebras can put us behind the sticks and throw the proverbial monkey wrench into our offense. We need a clean game Saturday.

We have a trend where we do this in 3rd quarter of games along with poor play calling offensively. We need to let the damn burst on UGA in the 3rd quarter even if we're up a lot.

In other words, you have to slow them enough to limit possessions and score yourself. Bama has a QB that could do that. You put Stetson Bennett down 2 or 3 scores and the dawgs will get the pucker factor going.

If we do what we can do and have done, then it WILL turn into a track meet and I agree, I don't think they will have the horses to hang with ours. They want and hope it to be a slow slobberknocker 15-12 type of game, but that hasn't happened yet to this team and I don't see it happening Saturday. Anyone see the "Juice" show they had with CJH? It's easy to see why the culture has changed so quickly. We have a great leader and X's and O's coach now, and it's showing.

To many things have to go right for it to be stoped or limited. Once you stop one the other will hurt you because you’ve forget about it.

"Everybody has a plan to fight me until they get punched in the mouth...."

Kirby is a defensive guy. He's watched our tape, evaluated out weaknesses, created a plan to limit our abilities. CJH has done the same. Georgia isn't going to bring anything exotic to the table. They think they have the better athletes. Kirby probably thinks that he's going to be in our backfield all day having a picnic. CJH is probably setting up plays that make them have to back off the pass rush. This is going to be a chess match that CJH will win in play calling. Whether our athletes can execute and perform is going to be that game to watch. I doubt we get 100yrds rushing out of our RB's but we don't need it. the threat of the run is enough. Tying up the guys to prevent it is enough. My gut says that the only way we win is if HH puts this game on his shoulders and wins with his feet. Every time the pass rush blows by him he bolts for 10yrds. Come up the middle and her rolls to the edge and rushes for 5-10yrds. Make the LB's and Safeties play to stop him from running to open up the field for the pass.
