Need to Know

Tennessee-Georgia Connections

You'd be hard-pressed to find two coaching staffs more familiar with each other than Tennessee and Georgia. Six of UT's 11 full-time coaches have worked at UGA at one point in their careers while Georgia has two coaches that have spent time on the Vols' staff in the past (Sam Pittman & Charlton Warren).

Tennessee's six coaches who have coached at Georgia include: Jeremy Pruitt (DC in 2014-15), Jim Chaney (OC in 2016-18), Kevin Sherrer (OLBs in 2014-17), Will Friend (OL in 2011-14), Tracy Rocker (DL in 2014-16) and Brian Niedermeyer (GA in 2015).

Series History: Georgia

Series tied, 23-23-2

Saturday will mark the 49th meeting between the Volunteers and Bulldogs. The first meeting between the two programs came way back in 1899, when UT defeated UGA, 5-0. Georgia has won two straight in the series, but the Vols hold a 12-11-1 edge in the series in games played in Knoxville.

A win for Tennessee on Saturday would be the program's first victory over a top-10 team since defeating No. 10 Georgia, 51-33, in Athens in 2006.

About Georgia

Like the Vols, the Bulldogs are also coming off a bye week. Georgia enters Saturday's game with a perfect 4-0 record after positing wins over Vanderbilt, Murray State, Arkansas State and then No. 7 Notre Dame. UGA is led by Kirby Smart, who has guided the program to a 36-10 record and a CFP National Championship Game appearance during his three-plus seasons as head coach.

The Dawgs have been one of the nation's top offensive teams this season, ranking 11th in the country and third in the SEC in scoring at 42.8 points per game. UGA does the majority of its damage on the ground, leading the SEC with 253 rushing yards per game. Junior running back D'Andre Swift leads the potent rushing attack with 388 yards and three touchdowns while averaging 7.9 yards per carry.

Georgia has been just as dominant defensively, ranking second in the SEC in scoring defense (10 points/game) and total defense (262.5 yards/game). The Bulldogs are allowing just 57 yards per game on the ground, which leads the SEC and ranks fifth nationally. Junior linebacker Monty Rice leads the team with 22 tackles while the defensive back duo of Mark Webb and J.R. Reed have been disruptive for opposing offensives as well. Webb has 19 tackles and two forced fumbles while Reed has 18 tackles, an interception and three pass breakups. UGA also has 10 players that have recorded a sack this season.

The Bulldogs also have one the top kickers in college football in Rodrigo Blankenship, who is a perfect 8-for-8 on the year, including 4-for-4 on kicks from 40-plus yards.

Good morning Volunteers! I'm like most (purely a shot in the dark here lol) but not expecting much today as far as a victory.

This sucks actually but I can't help but center my weekend around the Big Orange as I've done through the "good years" and now have been "wandering in the wilderness" for far too long.

I hope we play with determination today and as one unit, injury free and

Go Big Orange!

Pieces are there but can we find them in time to complete the puzzle. Maurer is quicker, more decisive, and looks more mobile than JG. Chandler and Gray (the quick and the cut) can be great players. Wide Receiver U could be resurrected by JJ, Callaway, and a couple other good receivers if we get a decent QB. DWA has been good. To'o To'o is a bright spot on defense. Cimaglia has been clutch. Keep tweaking the OL and DL. Get enough of a supporting cast and some plays (coaches/coaching) that gets the ball to our playmakers and I can see a dim light at the end of the tunnel. Win or lose I don't give a d*mn cause this is my team. GO VOLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
