The point spread was higher last year and UT was still competitive in the 4th, can UT do a little more and win it?

1. Turnovers-UT has to come out on the better end of turnovers. Fromm has yet to throw an interception this year, he’s super conservative. If UT can be +2 that improves their chances tremendously.

2. Starts in the trenches. Darrell Taylor needs to be DT of last year and continue his success against UGA. He had a monster game last year with 3 sacks going against Isaiah Wilson who is banged up and playing on a bum leg, advantage Taylor. Solomon needs to show up and show why he was so highly rated, he will be pumped to go against UGA with their history. OL needs to find rhythm and stay on the field with the running game.

3. UT ranks 13th in the league in most categories in run defense (YPC, YBC, YAC, YPG) and UGA is #1 in the SEC in all of those same categories. Load the box, UGA’s weakness is the WRs, mostly inexperience, and lack of knowledge in route running and very little cohesion with Fromm. Fromm can beat you, just make him do it, if he does, tip your hat but you have to put it on him. More passes, freshmen WRs, more opportunities that they run the wrong route resulting in a turnover.

4. Simple throws, UT has a big advantage at WR and TE, quick easy passes (regardless of who is QB), perhaps a WR reverse or wildcat package for Jennings.

5. Score early, this is a must. Cannot get behind and expect to come back, UGA will just become a BOA and squeeze the life out of you with the run game.

Defense must step up, offense is very, very close. NFL WRs, NFL TE, NFL RBs, 3 5 stars on the OL that are progressing game by game. UT can be a V8, all cylinders are mentioned in this paragraph. Unfortunately, the engine is missing a Very important piece, the spark plugs. Without a QB, this engine can’t run. Find a spark plug, and it’s off to the races.

Can UT get good QB play and can the DL slow down UGA's run game? If the answer is 'no' to either, it will be tough. The front 7 also has to be mindful of Fromm's ability to tuck the ball and run.

Against UGA, think they need good QB play to win but going forward, average QB would do wonders with that offense, would expect 35 ppg.

Well, I wouldn't say immediately going forward since Bama is up next, but yes, if we can get good QB play then the offense could be pretty solid for the remainder of the schedule. The run D has continually improved, but the defense desperately needs someone to step up as that nasty edge rusher because the lack of a pass rush is definitely making it tough on the secondary..

True, Bama is Bama although their running game and defense are struggling at times, But their passing game is hitting on all cylinders. MSU looks beatable and is up next I think? Skip after Bama, and none of the rest strike fear into anyone.

Excellent analysis. Let's make it happen, Cap'n.

Yep....pull out all the stops. Throw downfield a lot, run the WildVol, fake punts, fake FG's" etc. It not like we have anything to lose! I would love to watch Uncle Lou's head explode.

Lack of a pass rush against Tua and those Bama WRs is not a pleasant thought.

LOL at competitive with UGA last year. Then UTEP was competitive with us as well? So stupid the orange kool-aid that is gulped by the gallon on here.

These are Tennessee's losses by to Power 5 opponents under Pruitt. The total in parentheses is the deficit or lead at the half. The number not in parentheses is the points scored by Tennessee at halftime. They need to score in the 1st half to give them a chance in the second half.

West Virginia 7 (-6)
Florida 3 (-23)
Georgia 0 (-17)
Alabama 14 (-28)
South Carolina 14 (+5)
Missouri 10 (-16)
Vanderbilt 0 (-17)
Florida 0 (-17)

This game, if close at all, will come down to the trenches. Smart, love him or hate him, has put together arguably the best offensive line in the country and the defensive line is not far behind. When the big uglies are that big and talented they eventually will wear down a team as thin as ours is right now. Even if, and that is a big if, we can keep it close for the first half I would imagine the grind will wear us down.

This game reminds me of the Saban's 1st game against us when he opened with an onside kick..... (either at the beginning of the game or the start of the 2nd half I can't remember ). He was aware that he probably couldn't beat us straight up. I also think that we can't beat UGA straight up. I'm not saying we need to do that, but I think that with this game being such a glaring mismatch at so many positions and our team not having any real momentum from any position group with the exception of our kicking game. We will need to steal some possessions, be it in the form of turnovers or in fake FG's, fake punts, onside kicks or trick plays.

If we just line up with them and stay in our base package and trot out there with the offense that we have shown in the 1st 4 games we might not score any points in this match up. I hope Pruitt at least comes out swinging. There is no reason not to at this point in the season. The goal should be to try and be tied at half or down no more than 7 points to give yourself a chance in the 2nd half, we cannot be down 17-3 or something like we were at UF.

For starters, if we simply eliminate all the critical errors we made in the UF game (well, all of our games), and execute, we may be able to hang with them for awhile. They're either going to have to show up not ready to play or we get 4-5 turn overs, in order to give us a real shot to win the game.

Key to GA vs UT game:

1. Find out where UGA is staying here in Knoxville.
2. Padlock all exits at said location.
3. Win by forfeit.

Short of that its another butt whooping. Take UGA and -24.5 and at least profit off the loss.

UT hasn't thrown a TD in 5 quarters..let that sink in. WR's are a non factor.
