UT is giving up an average of 37.5 points a game, and GA is scoring an average of 32.6..........

UT 24
UGA 23

i think this will be a defensive struggle with both teams. Whoever hits the last field goal will win the game.

I watched the replay of UGA/Miss last night. Despite the score UGA struggled. I'm sure the pollsters just saw the final score. I'm not impressed by UGA. This game is a must for the Vols! I'm just not sure how they will respond. At first I didn't give UT a chance but after watching the dawgs....its a toss up! The staff has had an open week to prepare....the outcome will also speak volumes of their coaching! Is this staff capable of "coaching up"?

How can it be a defensive struggle when the Vols don't have a defense?

I know what you are saying about the first three quarters of the UGA-Miss game. Another way to look at that game is to consdier the following possibilities:

(1) it was a sandwich/trap game for the Dawgs (getting the orst team in the SEC at home between trips to Tuscaloosa and Knoxville); and
(2) for two weeks in a row UGA has done what it had to do in the fourth quarter/overtime to close the deal, an impressive feat for a young team.

Much like the 2007 Gators, this is probably the youngest/least experienced UGA team that the Vols will face for at least the next 2 years.

I thought Georgia solidly took control of the Ole Miss game in the 2 quarter after the 99 yd TD drive. The Rebels moved the ball in the 3rd but Ga's offense never slowed after that first TD drive. Thats seems to be representitive of this offense. They have had tendacies of slow starts and at times lethargic but I think thats more of a lack of confidence which they seem to be gaining everyday and every game. My prediction is it doesn't look good for the Vols this Saturday. I think Georgia will win it by as much as 12 but never put it away until late.

Georgia's young defense struggled with Ole Miss for much of the game. They still have some growning pain issues. Missed tackles and assignments. But they're extremely quick and except for the Carolina game they come through in the clutch.

Not to take away from Ole Miss's offense. They impressed me against FL and then at GA

What worries me about Ga. it seems they always score
winning points near the end of game then the other team has no time to beat 'em.

If ever there were a more unpredictable year in college football than this one.......no way I can predict what happens, I just hope the entire team shows up to play sat.

I don't know why but when Georgia lands on CBS Sean McDougnah is sure to follow. That guy really annoys me.:blink:

fwiw CFN took the Dawgs by 9.

Georgia (4-1) at Tennessee (2-2) 3:30 PM ET CBS
Why to Watch: The Florida loss to Auburn now opens things back up in the SEC East race, giving Tennessee new life, while giving Georgia more help as it tries to overcome the early loss to South Carolina. It's not a stretch to call this Tennessee's last stand, at least as far as the Phil Fulmer era, with early season blowout losses to Cal and Florida showing just how far the program is right now from being a top contender. If the Vols can get by with a win, things get relatively easier, missing LSU from the West, getting the two big names from the East out of the way, and having a nice four-game home stand starting in late October with the potential to go on a nice run. However, Tennessee is seen as a battered team with no defense, while Georgia is the younger, rising program with the potential to be special over the next few years. This game will go a long way to either changing perceptions, or cementing them.
Why Georgia Might Win: Tennessee's defense has gone bye-bye. Struggling equally against the pass and the run, the Bulldogs can pick and choose how they want to move the ball. Most importantly for QB Matthew Stafford and his mediocre receiving corps, Tennessee isn't generating anything on the line. Stafford will have ten days to throw, and it'll all trickle down from there. However ...
Why Tennessee Might Win: It's not like Georgia is an offensive juggernaut. The Bulldog passing game is occasionally efficient, but it's hardly consistent, and it's hardly California or Florida as far as explosiveness, last week's game against Ole Miss aside. The Bulldog secondary has hardly been tested, with Alabama's John Parker Wilson the toughest quarterback it's had to deal with, and he almost came through clutch late in the overtime loss. Tennessee might be having problems defensively, but the offense is moving the ball thanks to the SEC's number one passing offense, led by a great year from ...
Who to Watch: Erik Ainge. With all his top targets off to the NFL, Ainge was supposed to regress a bit back to his sophomore form. It was the receivers who made him look good last year, or so said the conventional wisdom. All Ainge has done is throw for 10 touchdown with just two interceptions, and is coming off a marvelous 334-yard, four touchdown day against Arkansas State. He's had to press a little more with the defense not providing enough overall help, and the running game being merely average, but he's still not making mistakes. If Tennessee is going to beat Georgia, Ainge has to explode.
What Will Happen: This has been a strange series, with the road team winning over the last four years, and with the way Georgia has performed over the years on the road under Mark Richt, make it five in a row. Tennessee simply isn't doing enough on defense right now.
CFN Prediction: Georgia 30 ... Tennessee 21 ... Line: Tennessee -2
Must See Rating: (5 Paris on Letterman - 1 Singing Bee) ... 4
