Georgia has commitments from four defensive linemen in the class of 2022, which is the top-ranked class in the country.

Twitter reacts: Georgia weathers Tennessee storm, pulls away for 41-17 win

Twitter is buzzing after another dominant SEC win from Georgia

No. 1 Georgia has moved to 10-0 with a dominant win on the road over rival Tennessee.

It wasn’t easy. The Vols scored a touchdown on their first possession, which marked the first touchdown allowed in the first quarter by Georgia this season, while the 7-point deficit was the largest UGA had faced this year.

Georgia responded with a score of their own but stalled for the rest of the first period.

Tennessee held a 10-7 lead at the start of the 2nd quarter before UGA stormed back with 17 unanswered points to take a 24-10 lead into the half.

Georgia kept that momentum throughout the second half. Tennessee’s offense couldn’t get anything going until a garbage-time touchdown with just a few minutes left in the fourth quarter.

That gave us a 41-17 final.

Senior running back James Cook was the player of the game by far. Cook totaled 147 yards from scrimmage with three total touchdowns (2 rushing, 1 receiving).

Twitter reacts: UGA holding on to 14 point lead over UT at halftime

Here’s a look at UGA Twitter after a wild half at UT

No. 1 Georgia is facing its toughest test to date with Tennessee in Knoxville.

The Bulldogs hold a 14-point lead at the half. Tennessee’s offense has been as lethal as advertised, even against the top defense in the country.

UGA was down 10-7 early in the second quarter before kicking a field goal to tie it up. That was followed with a Derion Kendrick interception and a Stetson Bennett touchdown to make it 17-10 Georgia.

The Bulldogs were able to lock down the UT offense for the most of the second quarter and got a little cushion thanks to a big 23-yard touchdown pass from Bennett to James Cook, which is Cook’s second score of the day.

The Plantation, Fla., native missed some time last season with a quad injury but has looked effective in the preseason so far.

Michel also joins former Bulldogs Matthew Stafford, Leonard Floyd and J.R. Reed in L.A.

Former Georgia WR announces transfer to rival: Twitter reacts

Former Georgia WR announces transfer to rival: Twitter reacts

Former Georgia receiver Demetris Robertson has decided to transfer to Auburn University for his final year of eligibility.

Robertson, once a five-star recruit out of Savannah Christian School in Savannah, Ga., transferred to Georgia from the University of California in 2018 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in his sophomore season. In 2017 Robertson was a Freshman All-American for the Golden Bears.

With the offseason addition of LSU transfer Arik Gilbert and Dominick Blaylock back off injury, Georgia’s receiver room grew a bit crowded and Robertson’s playing time chances took a hit.

Robertson ends his Georgia career with 42 catches for 443 yards and three touchdowns, adding 10 rushes for 161 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Check out how Twitter reacted to Robertson’s transfer destination…
