I don't see the rain being advantageous to either team. Georgia's defense is better than Tennessee's and that is where the difference could be made. Tennessee needs to win the turnover battle and steal possessions, JG and Bennett are a wash, Olines are a wash, UT has better RBs and GA has better WRs. If its low scoring, I like Tennessee's chances, Cimaglia will need to nail some long field goals.

I think you’re slightly tinting your assessment towards the Vols. Bennett looks better than JG and the RBs are a wash at best. That gap in the defenses is probably worth a score by itself, more if we let their D score. That’s my worry. Old JG would give UGA’s D a score. I hope I’m very wrong but I think we’re going to see a score from the UGA D today. If not a direct score, at least a set up for one in the red zone. If we don’t turn it over, play solid in the kicking game, and can get into the 20s then we have a shot. If we do all of those things and get +2 or more in the TO battle we might win.

If it rains that much Bennett wont be as big a factor as most seem to think.

I hope you’re right. Well, and what we don’t know is did UGA call off the dogs against Auburn or did Auburn start shutting them down? Once UGA got up big (21-0 or 24-0 early 2nd quarter I think?) then the game was pretty even.

I'm going to show my age, but I remember a rain soaked and muddy Sanford stadium the year Curt Watson was the Vol's tailback. I was in the end zone bleachers watching huge holes being opened by our OL and Watson charging through. I opened my big mouth once too often and started yelling about those huge gashes and gaps. Finally I got deluged by debris from the hurt puppy dog fans. It was worth it. Ahhhh--those were the days!!!!!!

Great moment! Went to high school with Curt, who now lives in Memphis. GO VOLS!

If this is accurate we may get a delay. A long delay.

With our luck if we had a lead of 6 pts., Ga's ball on their 1yd line and 10secs left they'll delay however long it takes to finish the game and give Ga a chance. If Ga leads by 1 pt. and TN is on the 1" line,1st and goal with 30secs left, they'll call the game.

80% chance of rain...

I think this is a huge plus for the Vols. We will want to slow the game down as much as possible. UGA will have to play more conservatively than they would like to as well.

The rain theoretically should have both teams keeping the ball on the ground which will eat up clock.

Unless we have a couple disastrous plays this should be a close game.

Mobile QB's & pound the ball behind big OL. BUT, the rain will not stop big plays down field.

Looking at the radar it looks like there’s a chance the bad stuff may just squeak by. Who knows
