Preview
The Tennessee Volunteers host the Georgia Bulldogs in a classic SEC rivalry this Saturday from Neyland Stadium. These two tradition rich teams normally are more likely to both be 5-0 after 5 weeks of the season than to have just 5 wins combined. Both teams suffered disappointing losses last week and it will be interesting to see who bounces back this Saturday. Tennessee battled undefeated Auburn in a tough game before falling 26-22 and the Bulldogs lost a nail bitter to LSU 20-13.
The loss set the Volunteers back to 0-2 on the season in Lane Kiffin's first year as head coach. The young team now is in a must win situation if they are to get the program headed in the right direction. Georgia is in a similar situation as they may be much better than their 3-2 record indicates. The Bulldogs lost to Oklahoma State in their opener, but have played fairly well since. The Bulldogs were a mere 46 seconds away from capturing the huge win over no. 4 LSU last week, but Tigers running back Charles Scott broke free to score the game winning touchdown with less than a minute to play. It is simply amazing how one play can affect your season. If the Bulldogs are to fall this week, they would be set back to just 3-3 on the season after starting year ranked inside the Top 15.
The Bulldogs surprisingly rank towards the bottom of the SEC on both offense and defense. The Bulldogs rank next to last in both scoring and total defense. Georgia has allowed nearly 28 points per game and 358 total yards. Those numbers are rather surprising considering all the playmakers they have on the field. QB Joe Cox has been fairly good, but has had a tendency to force the ball which has led to 6 picks on the season. Still, Cox has thrown for 1,208 yards with 11 touchdowns.
