The Georgia Bulldogs have one more SEC game before the SEC Championship game, and that’s the Tennessee Volunteers.

A few weeks ago, this appeared to be a cakewalk for the Bulldogs, but the Vols have been very competitive so far this season and have shown that they have an explosive offense.

They also just came off an upset over Kentucky, 45-42, so Kirby Smart knows his team has to be on guard when it comes to this team.

He said this about the Vols:

“It’s going to be a really tough and physical game,” Smart said. “They got a really good football team. They actually played a lot better than some of their scores indicate. I gotta lot of respect for their team and how hard they play.”

Smart also commented on preparing his team to play in Knoxville and how tough the atmosphere will be Saturday.
