The Official #7 Tennessee @ #12 Georgia Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[connor]

TN’s definitely out of the SECCG running, unless somehow:
-Ole Miss loses to 5-win Florida or 2-win Miss St,
—Texas A&M loses to both 4-win Auburn AND Texas,
-Alabama loses to 5-win Oklahoma or 4-win Auburn
-and Texas loses to 4-win Kentucky…

…and then Tennessee would just be playing Georgia again in the Georgia dome

Would be the same outcome anyways

 

[DeadVols]

Bad thing is, Georgia isn’t that good.

Georgia hasn't lost in like three years at home. They decimated Texas. They're the best team in the country.

 

[ATLVols]

I hate UGA. We used to curb stomp them every year growing up.

 

[VOLifornia]

horrible

Kirby owns Heupel - 2022 he handed CJH’s rear to him . . . The high flying offense that year came to a grinding halt.

Talent is very even now. CJH offense tonight will score 17 . . . And not score in the second half,

Total domination.

Kirby had a highly recruited team when Heupel was digging through the ashes in year 1. Not really fair to compare those early years.

Heupel is still having to rebuild the team. The roster is still suffering from poor 2021 and 2022 classes. It willl be another two recruiting cycles until Heupel has been able to have 4 years of top 10 classes.

Last year was a bridge year with Milton. We had a good team this year. Hard to win on the road. Nico still growing. We had a chance.

 

[Mustng959]

The refs killed our momentum and rigged this game

They sucked but we played worse than their officiating.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Only in the NFL. They’ve debated adding it to college ball.

Dude… I’ve lost count of times we’ve gotten screwed over fingers grazing a helmet.

 

[Voltopia]

Well, that's a wrap on 2024, mostly.

I would expect to see some guys start sitting out now, and we'll likely be playing for a warm weather bowl - if that even motivates anyone.

A shame, it really is. Tennessee had a chance. But the Vols have developed a "can't win the big on the road" reputation and this one doesn't do anything to dispel it. Not a bad year. But didn't take the step forward. Could always have some sort of lightning strike of luck, but it's looking faint. Maybe next year.

Outcoached tonight.Scripted ********..

lol. no they aren’t. not even close

 

[G0V0LS33]

How Banks did not put any pressure on Beck I will never understand. Is he that scared of our secondary that he is afraid? This scared play calling sucks

 

[adam.vol]

Kirby Smart is a jackass. Reminds me of Dabo Sweeney, without a moral compass.

 

[BleedOrange81]

They have to find some playmakers at wide receiver.

And a coach to develop them

 

[Vol737]

Kirby is light years ahead of Josh Heupel

Yup

 

[Volsfannn]

He played like a Heisman candidate. Did you expect anything different????

Is what I expected, doesn't change the fact he is a douchebag.

 

[orange_glory]

What playmaker? We do not have one our WR suck. Sampson is our playmaker

That's true I misspoke. I should have said our best players. Which are average compared to the rest of CFB

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Chris Fowler can finally remove the kneepads.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

well hope we get in at 10--2

Hope we beat Vandy which has a better offense than ours. Oh and we have to play away from Neyland.

 

[ChrisVFL]

Defense no show tonight, don’t care what anyone says. Everyone says we have stars at WR but can’t get open. OLine still trashy as ever. We made a Down syndrome qb look like a Heisman winner .

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Georgia will continue to own Tennessee in football going forward, Heupel cannot win against them , Banks defense cannot handle them

 

[BradstarVols]

Georgia hasn't lost in like three years at home. They decimated Texas. They're the best team in the country.

Lol no they aren't

 

[Swiftybaby]

Kirby such a b!tch

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Questionable officiating tonight. Felt like last year’s Bama game.

 

[JCHateSteve]

He's done great things for this program but I have yet to see him make adjustments in big games in the 4 years he's been on this staff. It's super frustrating

I've seen the O adjust. But if we can't get home with 4 on D, he just doesn't know what to do.

 

[pricevol5]

Bigger issue is proving ourselves a top 12 team to this “playoff” committee.

This game actually showed that, but eye test only matters in the case of Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State.
