@gwhite - your post about "relying on D to tire teams out" is rife with inaccuracies. Plus I am not sure I am following your 1-6 record since 2017. Prior to the NC, the last time we beat Bama was 2007. Common Foe Games Include: UF, UK, SC, Vandy, Bama (SEC Champ game) and Mizzou. (I didn't count the NC) UGA scored a combined 233 points against those teams (calling off the dogs in most games in the 3rd and 4th quarter).. Tennessee scored 235 points against those same teams. 2 more whole points. (is 2 points equal to a mile like you said in your post?) As far as Alabama, we got our revenge.. Do you post things thinking that no one will check your stats?

@Gwhite - UGA actually has a 26-23-2 lead. but coming from down 17-10 in the series in 1999, I would say We have done a nice job catching and passing the Vols.

@Gwhite - over the last 30 games Tennessee's record is 14-16 against Georgia. Yes, you can claim that the series has been and is close BUT.. Tennessee is and has been on a downward trend in the series for the last 22 years. In 1999, Tennessee had a 17-10-2 lead in the series since then UGA is 16-6 against the Vols. You can pull from any year range you want but the truth, which you won't face, is that Tennessee had a lead an blew it..

@Gwhite - Your comment was that UGA has never truly dominated Tennessee ever, then you throw up a 12-6 record from 1992-2009. Yes, 9 in a row is impressive. But, after that 9 in a row, UT is 3-6. If 12-6 (your words) is domination than 16-6 (since 2000) must be utterly owning a team. If 12-6 is owning a team, then what is 10-2 in the last 12 games?

@gwhite- what is your definition of domination? To me- 10 out of the last 12, 5 in a row and a record in the 2000’s of 16-6, is domination.. but your definition may be different..

@gwhite - go back and do some research before you spout off garbage that isn’t true. Prior to 1992, UGA was 10-9-2 vs UT. UT dominated the 1990’s but UGA has dominated all the 2000-2021. Do some research

@JTF - but it was 3 straight running plays. Seems like Kirby should have been upset about the play calls and the lack of a sense of urgency..

@gwhite713 - This played out exactly like I thought it would. Tennessee would start strong and dwindle as the game went on. UGA played it exactly like I thought they would. Let UT have the underneath stuff but limit big plays and then slowly take those away later in the game. Tennessee had 2 or 3 big plays and 1 of those was when the game was decided. My guess is we won't hear from you. But you should come back and take your medicine like a man..

@dieselnova - I don't honestly think Tennessee would beat Auburn. If your playing the who beat who game (which you Tennessee fans like to do) Auburn beat Ole Miss who beat you. I don't subscribe to that type of thinking but apparently it is encouraged in Tennessee land. Prediction: Closer game in the 1st half with UGA pounding Tennessee in the 3rd and 4th quarter. 44-18 - Tennessee does score more on UGA than any other team but it doesn't matter.

@gwhite713 - last time I checked no one has beaten Alabama in the SEC Championship except UF with Tim Tebow. Plus, I would say the chance are pretty low that Alabama could get in the Playoff with a loss to UGA. As long as Notre Dame only has 1 loss (a better loss at this point) - I think they would get in over Alabama. The media would love that..

The hope is that the front 3 or 4 can dominate (like they have in most other games this year). Rush 3 or 4 and drop 7 or 8 into zone coverage with a spy on Hooker. If UT's Oline is protecting well, then expect more exotic blitzes and coverages at the expense of a higher risk of busts or blown coverages.

@jay.Cardea - I would expect UGA to play very vanilla on D relying on execution due to UT speed per play (20.6 per play). I would not expect to many exotic coverages or blitzes (especially if the front 3 or 4 are getting in the backfield). The key to this week if simplification and concentration on doing "your job" on defense.

Sorry, they beat Clemson by 7..

No 13 Auburn and No 18 Kentucky. But not just that, but in the fashion they have beaten each team. The closest score on Georgia's schedule was 30-13 (Kentucky) and that was a garbage touchdown with essentially no time on the clock.

This is the same offensive line that they started calling "The Tennessee Valley Authority" prior to the Georgia game. I assume that most of the those guys will be back next year. So, they should be improved..

Kirby wanted Gran on his staff when he was hired. I think I remember that being the case. Also, don’t be surprised if Mike Bobo interviews for the OC position at KY..

@Marshgator89 Launching on it's own is not a penalty. It is an indicator. Cine could have launched and hit him in the chest (which I believe was his intent) and there wouldn't have been a penalty. A player would launch for many reasons perhaps he was trying to knock the ball lose. But launching on it's own is not a penalty. It is an indicator to targeting only.

Banjo Music? You are just as likely to hear "Banjo Music" in Northeast TN as you are in NE Georgia. He calls Sanford Stadium an Eye-sore. Sanford is always rated as one of the most beautiful stadium's in college football. Plus, at least we make the seats more than 6 inches wide. Geez, I have never seen a more narrow seat in my life than in Neyland.

How would Spring Football be impacted by the Combine and NFL draft? How many players would opt out of the season? Why risk injury in spring football without the normal 7-8 months of recovery time between seasons? There are serious implications with playing in the Spring.

Yes he owned us, but we certainly got our shots in on Spurrier. UGA shut him out in a game in 2006. That was the first time he had been shut-out, I believe. Secondly, and most importantly, we broke his will to continue coaching in 2015.

@unaffiliated I hope you are referring to the 1983 Auburn Tigers. The 1984 Auburn Tigers lost 4 games and first 2 of the season. I think Auburn did get the raw deal in 2004, but then again, Auburn takes credit for a National Championship in 1957 when they were on probation.

It's funny to hear an Alabama fan criticize Georgia fans for calling the refs out following the 2017 Championship. I seem to remember after the 2016 National Championship listening to the Paul Finebaum show and every single Alabama fan was calling the refs out. Pot calling the kettle black...

Honestly, hasn't been to much to be butt hurt about against Auburn. 11-3 since 2006... I will take a loss occasionally so that Auburn will keep Malzahn..

I see the passing offense as better simply because of play calling. I see more downfield passes under Coley and while Fromm's completion percentage may go down a tick, overall the passing numbers will be higher and more explosive. Just my opinion..

@King Negan: Are you reading something that has you saying UGA has an advantage over Alabama? I see 2 very evenly matched teams. UGA has the revenge factor, but Alabama has the mental edge in these games.

Its a shame that Auburn isnt higher than they are. It should easily be a Top 10 job in America. I went a read the main article at Athlon and while it doesnt give any negative reason why they ranked lower, I can't help but wonder if it had to do with the schedule plus the under-handed, shady nature of the administration and boosters.

FYI: Dan Mullen is like 1-12 against teams that Kirby Smart has been either Position Coach, DC or Head Coach. His only win was the 2008 SEC Championship Game when he was the OC for Florida. The two times they have played as head coaches. 28 point win and 19 point win. Just a little dose of reality for the UF fans..

If I was Malzahn, I would make them fire me. I wouldn't amend anything. Auburn "should" be a Top 10 (or at least Top 15) job in the country. Now with what is going on, there not going to get any "high profile" coach to get anywhere near this job. Malzahn will probably get another year regardless because there isn't anyone better that would be willing to join that circus. Have a backbone Malzahn.

In the LSU game, did Greedy always cover Jeudy? I thought I heard them say that he was always covering the receiver on the field side. I could be wrong..

Where is the cryptonite when you need it? If D Baker can lock down on Jeudy (like he did against Ridley in the Champ game) hopefully that gives Kirby the ability to overload coverage to the other receivers. We will see.
