EA Sports College Football 25 predicts Georgia-Tennessee game

EA Sports College Football 25 predicts the winner of the Georgia Bulldogs versus Tennessee Volunteers game

Georgia dominated in a preview simulation of Saturday’s showdown between the Georgia Bulldogs and Tennessee Volunteers on EA Sports’ “College Football 25” video game. Georgia won 41-21 thanks to strong performances on both sides of the ball.

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck led the offense, completing 31 of 36 passes for 323 yards and five touchdowns. Running back Nate Frazier added 90 yards on the ground. Wide receiver Dominic Lovett emerged as the top target, racking up 113 yards on eight receptions, including a 40-yard touchdown. Tight end Oscar Delp reeled in two touchdowns to help secure the win for the Bulldogs.

Defensively, the Georgia front seven was dominant in their battle of trenches. They combined for 8 tackle for losses and four sacks. Linebacker Jalon Walker was everywhere and recorded two tackle for losses and two sacks. The Bulldogs won the turnover battle because of the efforts of Julian Humphrey, Joenel Aguero, and Smael Mondon Jr. getting an interception. The Georgia defense made the Tennessee offense one dimensional and held the Volunteers to 30 yards rushing.

Another Georgia RB is injured

The Georgia Bulldogs are already without running backs Branson Robinson and Roderick Robinson entering the game against the Tennessee Volunteers. Georgia may also be without running back Cash Jones (questionable), who has been seen wearing a walking boot following the Ole Miss game.

“We’ll find out when the injury report comes out,” Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said. The weekly SEC injury report will be announced Wednesday night and updated ahead of the Tennessee game.

Now, Georgia will rely even more heavily on freshman running back Nate Frazier. Frazier totaled 12 carries, 47 rushing yards and one touchdown against Ole Miss, but he had a pair of fumbles.

Georgia’s top running back, Trevor Etienne (questionable), is fighting through a ribs injury and had just six carries in UGA’s loss to Ole Miss.

The Georgia offensive line needs to do a better job of creating holes for Georgia running backs. However, Georgia is dealing with several offensive line injuries as well. Offensive guards Tate Ratledge and Micah Morris (questionable) are not close to 100%.

“We’ve got guys injured left and right out there,” Smart said about Georgia’s offensive line. “So, we’re running a drill and there’s no guard in there because we’re out of guards.”

Georgia may have to resort to playing wide receiver Dillon Bell at running back some to try to get some production out of the rushing attack.

The Masters headlines busy November weekend for Georgia sports

Monday, the Masters were moved to mid-November and will be in the middle of busy Georgia sports week

Today, Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Fred Ridley announced revised dates of Nov 9-15 for the 2020 Masters Tournament in Augusta.

“We have identified Nov 9-15 as the intended dates to host the 2020 Masters. We hope the anticipation of staging the Tournament brings a moment of joy to the Augusta community and those who love the game.”

There are still a number of uncertainties with how exactly sports leagues around the country will resume regular activities, but from what we know at this moment, the week of Nov 9-15 will be a dream for Georgia sports fans. 

Picture this, The Masters in Augusta, Georgia football vs. Tennessee in Athens, Notre Dame vs. Ga Tech in Mercedes-Benz and the Braves in a delayed-post season game at Truist Park. 

The question is, what outcome would be the best for you?

How about a Tiger back-to-back Green Jacket with shutouts by Notre Dame and Georgia, capped off by a clinched series by the Braves?

Regardless of where your loyalties lie, if you’re a sports fan living in Georgia mark your calendars for Nov 9-15.
