Coaching Connections

There are a bunch of connections between the coaching staffs of these two programs. UT head coach Jeremy Pruitt served as the defensive coordinator for the Bulldogs in 2014 and 2015 while Vols' assistants Kevin Sherrer (2014-17), Will Friend (2003-04, 2011-14), Tracy Rocker (2014-16) and Brian Niedermeyer (2015) have all spent stints on Georgia's staff over the years. UGA offensive coordinator Jim Chaney (2009-12) and offensive line coach Sam Pittman (2012) have both coached at Tennessee in the past as well.

Running Back Group Continues to Produce

The Vols have implemented a running back by committee approach through the first four games of the season and have received significant contributions from four players in the backfield. Tennessee's running backs have accounted for nine of the team's 15 total touchdowns this season.

Sophomore Ty Chandler is averaging 73.3 yards rushing per game and ranks third in the SEC in yards per carry (6.3). Fellow sophomore Tim Jordan is averaging 59.3 yards per game and ran for a career-high 118 yards and a touchdown in the season opener vs. No. 17 West Virginia. Graduate transfer Madre London and true freshman Jeremy Banks are tied for the team lead with three rushing touchdowns apiece this season.

About Georgia

Georgia enter Saturday's game coming off a 43-29 road win at Missouri last week. The Bulldogs' 4-0 start has them ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll and No. 3 in the Amway Coaches' Poll after winning the SEC and reaching the College Football Playoff National Championship Game last season.

UGA is led by sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm and a dynamic receiving corps. Fromm has thrown for over 700 yards and nine touchdowns this season while completing 73 percent of his passes. His go-to target is Mecole Hardman, who has hauled in four touchdowns. At running back, Georgia is paced by the one-two punch of D'Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield, combining for four touchdowns and almost 500 yards on the ground. Georgia has also found plenty of success on defense and special teams, accounting for four touchdowns while holding opponents to less than 300 yards per game.

Please 6lb 8oz baby Jesus, just let it be respectable and may we show improvement tomorrow if it be thy will. May no one wearing orange be maimed or killed and may special protection be brought upon JG.
In JC name,
Amen

I can not put into words the way I despise the puppies. I doubt we have a shot, but it'd be nice. I will absolutely pull for almost anyone to beat them this year. Anyway, it's game day, Boom!

That may be needed just for us to have a chance to score! As sad as that is to say. :oops:

I’m all VOL and will be watching regardless of the outcome, just wanting to see some emotion and heart... then maybe there’s a sliver of a chance.
