There are some who look at it through rose-colored glasses and refuse to consider anything that doesn’t involve sunshine-pumping the Vols as the greatest team on Earth, year in and year out.
Question wasn’t do we win the game. It was do we have a realistic chance to win. Georgia has had some crap games nearly losing to teams like Kentucky; they cannot afford that kind of performance in neyland. Lock down the run, bully their WRs, put the pressure on their young qb to win. On the other side of the ball just do not turn the ball over and stay on script. Georgia is the deeper and more talented team but anything can happen in Neyland.
I feel the same. Since beating Kirby in 2016 the games have not been close. Haven't cracked 17 points since Heupel arrived. I think we are their game, rhe one they HAVE to win. Kirby doesn't like having lost everytime as a player and that he lost their first game in the dobb nail boot. Even last year GA had cracks and yet they shut us out in the 2nd half. I would love to beat the mutts but like bama, I won't expect it until it happens. I just think Kirby has the answers to Heupels offense and will continue to think so until proven otherwise.
Will be a good game for Joey to get used to playing at Neyland will be his first there. It will be different when we play UGA at home but I'm glad Joey gets to come into the big game gradually with one under his belt. Stockton will have a hard time with the crowd probably be loudest crowd he's started under.
I think we would have beat them at home in 2022 with Hooker. That crowd really got us way behind from the start jumping off sides got behind the sticks every first half drive. The offense out of kilter and the offense line playing on their heels their D was moving on our snap before our O and everything went downhill. JMO
