Last week, Tennessee faced their first SEC opponent of the season, and it was dismal. In a game in which the Vols had six turnovers, four of those turnovers led to Florida touchdowns.
Georgia Wants to Continue Their Momentum
While many think the Georgia-Tennessee match-up is going to be an easy win for the Bulldogs, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart considers them a tough opponent.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 43-29 win against the Missouri Tigers. While the Bulldogs were sloppy in their performance on Saturday, they still have a lot of talent on the team. Unlike Pruitt, this is Smart’s third year coaching for the Bulldogs, and just like Pruitt, when Smart came to Athens, there was a lot of progress to be made. Coach Smart spoke about Georgia’s weak spot: getting behind the line of scrimmage and forcing their opponents to move backwards.
However, there is no denying the Bulldogs are a powerhouse team. From an offense standpoint, the Bulldogs are multi-dimensional: they can throw and run the ball efficiently. Sophomore QB Jake Fromm has completed 72. 5 percent of passes, nine touchdowns, and only two interceptions.
Game Details
Saturday’s contest will be on CBS live at 3:30 p.m. EST.
