Some College Football Experts Say UT will do the deed Saturday in Athens?

[tennisguy]

I would love to win this game. It is going to be extremely tough, but it is possible. If you ask me, UGA has played one really good team this year and got hammered. SC should have beat them, but they just kept making mistakes and giving the game back to UGA. They just didn't have the offense to finish. However, looking at how we have played so far this year we don't look to stand much of a chance.

BTW, I bet Georgia comes out in the black jerseys again and they do the blackout one more time, not that it makes a difference. It will not be announced and hyped as it was against Bama. I think they kind of wished they had not done that.

Since Georgia got an off week to regroup, and they are going to have revenge on their minds based on the last 2 years, so I'm not seeing it. Plus they aren't doing a stupid blackout

[vollygirl]

Anybody who has watched college football for the last few years knows how unpredictable any given Saturday is. I'll be cheering the Vols the whole game. And I'll be really surprised if they manage to pull it off.

If Eric Berry or anyone else from back there would pitch in with a pick six, and Rogan breaks a kick or punt return for big yardage, I could see UT managing to score enough points to win a low scoring affair. 17-14 or something like that. If Tennessee wins, I think the defense will deserve much of the credit. I'd love to be proven a pessimistic fool though. Go Vols!

If we can score 3 touchdowns somehow (offense and/or defense) then i feel Tenn can win this game. I've not watched Georgia too much aside from the second half of the Bama game, so I am not sure how good their defense is. I don't think their offense is as good as it really looked in the second half. It seemed as though Bama felt they had the game won and didn't really play.

And Tenn HAS to contain Henderson on Punt/Kickoff returns. It seems that everytime a team has a highly touted kick returner (i.e. Brandon James, Henderson, Desean Jackson, etc) they end up returning a kick against tennessee. Its basically a free 6(7) points.

I think our run game will actually be a difference in this game. I look for Foster to have a decent game, but also for Hardesty to get more snaps and be a difference.

Tenn 24
Georgia 20

Not a chance on the black jersies. Those will be in storage for quite awhile.

As long as Arian Foster is our "Starting Feature" back...we are going to suck at running the ball....How many times has he been caught from behind by a LB or lineman who started on the opposite end of the field....

If you really wanna get down and dirty...we havent had a running game since he as been the starter....he has however managed to grind out 3000 of the slowest yards ive ever seen a RB gain... the fact he "should" break the rushing record is about the only good thing to come out of it

Georgia will be pumped for this game and we can't run the ball, so while i like stephens, he can't do it all.

34-6 Georgia

[TNinSC]

The past two years we've OWNED them. Not only have I not been impressed with our play, but I haven't really been moved by the Dawgs. Georgia's wins have come over a D2 school in Ga Southern, Central Michigan (MAC), a Gamecock fumble, and an Arizona St. team with a losing record. Their only competition was a primetime, home game against Bama. They were down 31-0 at halftime and eventually lost. I'm not so scared of them. It'll take some work, but we can win this game!

Go Vls!

Georgia getting an off week to prepare for the UT offense is like letting Einstein study for 2 weeks for a test on addition and subtraction.

[TNinSC]

How can Georgia learn and prepare for our offense when our own qbs can't understand/grasp it? I think our confusing offense serves as an enigma. It's really an advantage if you think about it! haha

[justingroves]

If Tennessee shuts down the running game again and forces Stafford to throw it, Tennessee could win (or at least make it close).

If not, Georgia rolls. UGA has blocked 2 punts already.

[SWIL]

We'll be up against an extremely motivated UGA team this Sat. Not only are they coming off a solid thumping from a team they were picked to beat, but they also remember the back to back blow outs we've handed them the past 2 years.

Saturday is gonna get ugly.
