26-14

Georgia did what it needed to do on Saturday and essentially covered the spread.

This came could have been much, much worse than it was. AJ Green dropped a wide open pass in the end zone, Stafford (who had only threw one interception before this game) threw two interceptions in the red zone (both leading to Tennessee scoring drives) and the offense bogged down and had to settle for field goals.

On paper, this was an utter domination. The only time Tennessee had any offensive consistency was after the Georgia turnovers. Otherwise, I saw improvements in areas where improvement needed to be seen. The offensive line grew up a bit on Saturday. The defensive line got pressure on Stephens and kept him on his toes. The run was shut down completely. The pass coverage was improved. So, things are looking better for Georgia has Vanderbilt comes into town this weekend for homecoming at 12:30.

Injuries keep piling up for this team, and Vince Vance is done with a knee injury. He's out for the season, and Georgia loses another offensive lineman. Georgia needs to take care of business this weekend against Vandy and they will control their own destiny in the SEC East. After the performances of Vandy, LSU, Kentucky, Auburn, and Tech, all teams on Georgia' s schedule look beatable from here on out.

It's time to man up, finish the drill, and prove the rankings were legit.
