When the UGA fans you come across use Chubb as their excuse

Sadly, injuries are a part of the game. Chub's injury was not the result of a questionable hit, and the score at 00:00 is the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.

Really disappointed in young Chubb as a player. While his team was battling, he wears a C on his jersey as captain, he sat alone the second half sulking it appeared. Should have been firing his guys up on his crutches, told me a lot about what's up in Athens.

He was probably told by medical staff not to place ANY weight on the injured knee.

Recent history indicates no matter how rough the Vols have had it, we always play UGA close.

I live in Georgia so the win was very sweet, but props to Dog fans because I haven't heard excuses because of Chubb........they usually have 3-4 RB's that are great
Go Vols

I think possibly because many of our players are from Georgia and they put forth extra effort playing against their home state, don't you think?

This is ridiculous.

Did you see how much ice they had on that kid's knee?

He should have been in the locker room most likely.

Damn, I wonder what he could have been sulking about.

Makes life better for at least a year down here in the middle of the state. GBO!

I'm not sure about op's opening opinion. Those other 2 backs are not the talent that Chubbs is. I've been watching this series for along time. 2013 game Georgia got decimated against us with injury's and Pig fumble allowed them to win. Not sure what year it was but a guy by the name of Robert Edwards went ballistic on us in the first half. If he doesn't get hurt we lose that game. Gotta think these rbs of theirs have similar talents.

Georgia's had their share of breaks go their way in Neyland too:

1). Bill battle goes brain dead and fakes a punt from his own 31 with something like 3 minutes to go to give a Georgia team who couldn't pass gas an easy track to the winning TD

2) Glenn Ford fumbles on first and goal at the one with 2 minutes left giving Ga a 16-15 win over tennessee in their NC season

3) tennessee flubs the pooch ok giving Ga great field position to start the drive to win in 2001

4) Tennesee fumbles handoff on 1 yd line and ga returns 99 yds right before half. Instead of leading 14-13 at half, tennessee trails 19-7. Wheels come off 2nd half.

5) first and goal yesterday at 1, tennessee fumbles and go returns for a TD.

All this and no mention of Pig fumbling the ball out of the end zone uncontested? That may be the worst one.

Lest anyone thinks the Vols were 'lucky' to win, or the Dawgs 'choked' the game away, let's be clear on one thing.......without a fluke Hurd fumble at the goal line and subsequent 96 yard return for TD by UGA, and if the referee hadn't incorrectly waved off the penalty on the punt return for touchdown, that game would not have even been close (take away 14 points from UGA and add 7 points to UT and see what the score is then). Bottom line......the Vols dominated that game offensively and defensively, and deserved the win.

This is spot on. In all honesty it probably won't be worth discussing this game with most UGA fans. They will point out Chubb going out and our big fourth down conversion for a td and the fumble we turned into a td before the half. They'll ignore the lucky 21 point swing they got in the first half.

For all of us Vols that live in the state of Georgia:
Thank you to........in particular to these guys.
Josh Dobbs for setting the tone on that 99 yard play.
Trevor Daniel for that incredible wedge shot.
Josh Smith for the score that brought us back.
Jalen Hurd for those extra yards.
Alvin Kamara for those two td catches.
Brian Randolph for the final play.
Every Vol fan that lost their voice.

Living in Georgia for the next 363 days will be so much better thanks to all of you!!! :hi:

Just a couple of things to note:

They lost their leader and best offensive player. We were down our leader and best defensive player (Maggit).

Sony had 145. If Chubb is in the game Sony doesn't rush for 145, Chubb likely does. Running the ball wasn't a problem for them tonight.

Our offense put up 38 points on them, as much as Bama did, Chubb going down didn't have anything to do with that.

....... we're the better team. Plain and simple.

Their WR dropping a sure TD was huge.... Butter fingers

1. it was 24-3 w/out chubb.
2. it was about time we got a few bounces go our way. we had plenty go against us all year and in the 1st half.
3. 35-7.
4. we dropped 2 picks, they dropped 1 TD pass.
5. they lost Chubb, we lost two O linemen.

i think all in all the ebbs and flows of the game evened out. in this case, hindsight being what it is, i'm glad we got ours in the 2nd half.....
