I agree with "cbhunter". I don't know where that Tennessee defense came from, but they played lights out. Georgia's defense is really tough. Has anyone looked at UGA schedule? Powder Puff. The only ranked team UGA have played is #11 Oregon (which proved to be overrated) in season opener. UGA is big, strong and fast. Without a doubt, it will be UGA biggest test since Missouri. GBO.
People in the east keep saying that Oregon has proven to be overrated, but they keep blowing out everybody not named UGA. UGA has played the schedule that they had this season, and so far several of the teams that were expected to be good have not been… kinda like UT playing Pitt. UGA's schedule can hardly be called a powder puff by a levelheaded objective observer, although UT's is obviously stronger.
UT stands a really good chance in this game. I would say that just about any season, but especially the team that they have this season. They're firing on all cylinders, and all of the pieces just seem to fit right.
UGA has a talented team, but it's not last year's team defensively, and that defense took a few more hits in the last few days losing leaders (not just talented players) in the secondary and LB corps. They've also just seemed a bit "off" at times offensively, whereas UT has seemed more cohesive due to their experience.
Obviously, statistically UGA has the edge on defense, and UT has the edge offensively. Neither is a slouch on the other side of the ball though, so it should be a slugfest. You just never can tell how 18-21yr old kids will show up to play, though.
Hopefully it's a great game, but obviously I hope that UGA comes out on top. Only time will tell. I will be hunting on Saturday at game time though, unless I get a buck in the morning.
