The Dawgs started with good field position and got a little help by a targeting called on Tennessee. Shortly after, Stetson Bennett found Kenny McIntosh for a nice gain to the two yard line before Zamir White punched it in.

We are tied at 7-7.

Yikes! Georgia opens Tennessee game with disastrous play

Georgia finds itself trailing Tennessee early after a disastrous start.

What an awful start for Georgia against Tennessee.

On the second play from scrimmage, center Trey Hill’s snapping troubles continued, as he sent one 30 yards over Stetson Bennett’s head and into the end zone.

Georgia tried to fall on it but was unable to. The Vols recovered in the end zone for an early touchdown.

Georgia finds itself down 7-0 early.

Watch the Georgia football trailer for Game 3 against Tennessee here.

The Georgia football Twitter account dropped its week three trailer for the Tennessee matchup this Saturday.

The trailer is titled: ‘The Story of Us’ and is one that hits home hard.

This game is going to be a good one as it is not only an SEC East matchup, but also a top-15 matchup.

Georgia – Tennessee: Nasty weather forecasted for 3:30 p.m. kickoff

No. 3 Georgia takes on No. 14 Tennessee on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET and the weather forecast does not look good. Details and analysis here.

No. 3 Georgia is set to meet No. 14 Tennessee at Sanford Stadium in Athens on Saturday.

The game is scheduled to kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET and unfortunately for Bulldog fans and especially the quarterbacks, the weather forecast does not look great.

There is currently an 80% chance of rain, with most of the precipitation coming in the morning and followed by scattered thunderstorms through the afternoon, according to weather.com. 

We flashback to the monsoon that was UGA versus Kentucky in 2019,  one of the most ugly games in Sanford Stadium history.

It rained the entire game – I know because I stood in it – and Georgia didn’t break the scoreless tie until the third quarter.

I’m not saying the Bulldogs matchup with Tennessee on Saturday will be as horrible, but the weather will definitely play a huge factor.

Georgia has the advantage here. Even though the Bulldogs’ offensive front had to replace four starters from a year ago, they completely manhandled a stout Auburn front-seven last week.

Plus, the Bulldogs had five running backs with carries versus the Tigers, which is the kind of depth that Georgia will need if the weather forces the two teams into a one-dimensional offenses.

Tennessee’s offensive line is respectable with four former 5-star recruits up front and senior quarterback Jarret Garantano has protected the football so far this season.

However, this Georgia defense is the best in the country. The Bulldogs’ front featuring guys like Jordan Davis and Malik Herring have been unstoppable.

Plus, add the outside rush factor from Azeez Ojulari and Nolan Smith with the lockdown secondary led by preseason All-American safety Richard LeCounte and this Tennessee offense is in for a long game Saturday.

I got a chance to sit down with former Georgia great Tavarres King to talk about UGA’s receivers and his time with the Manning brothers. Listen here:

Amway Coaches Poll released: Georgia vs Tennessee a top-15 matchup

The Amway Coaches Poll has been released after a great weekend of college football and the UGA vs Auburn game.

The Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, has been released after Week 2 of the SEC of football season.

The SEC’s Week 2 saw Georgia take down Auburn in an early-season, top-ten matchup and Alabama cruise to victory in a ranked game against Texas A&M.

After beating Auburn, Georgia now ranks No. 3 in the country. It is currently tied with Florida for that third spot.

Florida beat South Carolina by two scores on Saturday.

Tennessee, which Georgia plays this Saturday, beat Missouri easily and moved from No. 20 to No. 12. That game is scheduled for next Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and will air on CBS.

The top five is:

1. Clemson

2. Alabama

3. Georgia

3. Florida

5. Notre Dame

The full top-25 is as follows:

The Georgia Bulldogs are your 2020 Sugar Bowl champs – Quick thoughts

Georgia football is the Sugar Bowl champions after beating Baylor in New Orleans.

Georgia is undefeated in the new decade.

The Dawgs moved to 12-2 on the season and 1-0 in 2020 after defeating No. 7 Baylor 26-14 in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Things were just clicking on Wednesday night against a Bears defense that is one of the best in the country.

But with 10+ key players sitting out the game, Georgia still came to play. After an embarrassing defeat last year, Kirby Smart made sure that the players who actually wanted to be there were ready for it.

Despite the fact that this was essentially an exhibition game, the win leaves Georgia fans with a nice feeling about things to come.

Recruiting is not over, and I’m sure Georgia targets were impressed by how the Dawgs played.

Speaking of recruiting, the Dawgs have a few big ones coming up this week. 5-stars Zach Evans (RB) and Darnell Washington (TE) will be making their announcements live during the the Under Armour All-American Game on Thursday. Coverage will begin at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.

Looking to next year, we saw a few players who are sure to make a big impact in 2020.

Zamir White took 18 carries for 92 yards. Kenny McIntosh, a freshman, took six carries and looked good as well. It will be interesting to see how they are used next year when Kendall Milton and possibly Evans come to town.

And then there was George Pickens, who was named MVP of the game. Pickens, a true freshman, hauled in 12 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown.

When interviewed, Pickens said “my offensive line is amazing. My quarterback is amazing.”

He then continued to praise his team.

“Put the camera on all these guys. I love them to death.”

Let’s talk about junior safety Richard LeCounte for a second. He receives a decent amount of unwarranted criticism on Twitter, but #2 is an absolute baller. His jersey number matched the amount of interceptions he had on Wednesday night. His NFL decision is unknown at this point, but we will have an answer on that shortly I’d assume.

As for Jake Fromm, the junior threw 30 passes, completing 20 of them for 250 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. When asked about what his future holds after the game, Fromm did not hint at whether or not he’s staying at Georgia. Instead, he praised God and his teammates. We will have to wait on that one.

D’Andre Swift is viewed as the No. 1 running back in this draft class by ESPN’s Todd McShay. We do not know what he’s going to do, but everyone expects Swift to turn pro. But what he did do was make the trip to New Orleans with his teammates. He was nursing a shoulder injury, but played through as much as he could.

After the game, Kirby praised the junior tailback for his dedication and for what he does off the field.

Kirby was clearly emotional about this win. Following the game, passion was pouring out of the former Bulldog as he hoisted the Sugar Bowl trophy with confetti flying.

Kirby called a great, aggressive game. He was aggressive on defense, pulled out some trickery on a flea flicker and a fake field goal. 

James Coley was also on his game. He was willing to adapt, call outside run plays and get his best available players into a spot where they were able to succeed.

[lawrence-related id=20774]

With the 2019 season officially over for Georgia, we look ahead to a 2020 that will see the Dawgs open with Virginia in Atlanta.

In week three, UGA travels to Tuscaloosa in what will surely be the game of the season at that point.

And Auburn, which complained about its schedule enough that the SEC finally did something, will be coming to Athens in early October rather than November.

Georgia vs Florida will be played on Halloween night in Jacksonville.

The South Carolina and Tennessee games will both be played in November, which will be an odd change of pace. Those games are typically in the first half of the year.

I predict 11-1, with the only loss coming to Alabama.

Dawgs vs Bama in the SEC Championship.

We’ll see….
