Kirby Smart provides injury updates, previews No. 19 Tennessee

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart updates UGA’s injury situation, previews playing at Tennessee

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is proud of how Georgia played against Ole Miss. However, the No. 1 Bulldogs have a big challenge in Week 12 against the No. 19 Tennessee Volunteers.

Tennessee is coming off a brutal 36-7 road loss to Missouri, but it always plays better at home. The Volunteers have won 15 straight home games dating to Georgia’s 2021 trip to Knoxville, Tennessee.

Can Georgia snap Tennessee’s home winning streak? The Bulldogs face a Tennessee team that is No. 2 in the SEC in rushing at 213.3 yards per game.

Georgia has already earned a berth in the SEC championship against Alabama, but the Dawgs have their sights set on the College Football Playoff. What did Georgia football coach Kirby Smart have to say ahead of the Georgia-Tennessee game?

Five Tennessee players to watch against Georgia

Who is Tennessee’s best player on defense? Who does Georgia need to limit from the Volunteers’ explosive offense?

The (8-0) Tennessee Volunteers enter Saturday’s contest against the (8-0) Georgia Bulldogs as one of the hottest teams in the country. Why is Tennessee so good?

The Volunteers have scored a ton of points recently thanks to the unreal connection between quarterback Hendon Hooker and wide receiver Jalin Hyatt. Georgia, the last team to hold Tennessee under 20 points, will be without top pass rusher Nolan Smith.

The Bulldogs overcame losing a top pass rusher during the middle of the season in 2021. Can Kirby Smart and company do it again in 2022?

Georgia faces a big challenge against a red hot Tennessee team in the Bulldogs’ first game without Smith. Fortunately, the Bulldogs will be at home, which should help aid the defense.

Who are five Tennessee players to watch in the Georgia-Tennessee game?

College GameDay signs roast Tennessee football

An Ole Miss fan took advantage of College GameDay coming to Oxford, Mississippi, and made a sign roasting Tennessee football.

A few Ole Miss fans took advantage of College GameDay coming to Oxford, Mississippi, and made signs roasting Tennessee football. Ole Miss defeated Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, 31-26 back on Oct. 16.

Tennessee fans were upset when Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels stopped Tennessee on a controversial fourth down. After a lengthy video review, replay correctly ruled that their was not enough video evidence to overturn the call.

Madness ensued. Tennessee fans threw whatever they had including: beer cans, water bottles, and more. It took a while to clean the field and calm down Tennessee fans, which caused a lengthy delay.

You would think that Tennessee fans would be used to losing tough games after going 25-31 in their last five seasons, but evidently that is not the case.

Here’s a look at the signs:

Two of the more interesting things Tennessee fans threw on the field were: a mustard bottle and a golf ball, which was aimed at Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin.

Tennessee has banned a few dozen fans for throwing trash on the field during their defeat to Ole Miss. The Volunteers will hope to have a better environment for the Nov. 13 game against Georgia.

Tennessee to wear all-black uniforms against Georgia

The Tennessee Volunteers plan to wear their all-black uniforms against Georgia on Nov. 13.

The Tennessee Volunteers plan to wear their all-black uniforms, known as “Dark Mode,” against No. 1-ranked Georgia on Nov. 13.

Tennessee’s jersey combination may give Georgia a pinch more motivation for the SEC East rivalry game. The Bulldogs have worn black jerseys in big games in the past and know the results can be hit or miss.

Tennessee has one of the top offenses that Georgia has faced all season. The Volunteers’ up-tempo attack will provide a challenge for Georgia. The game will be one of the most hostile environments UGA has played in all season.

Georgia has only played in a few true road games this season: at Vanderbilt, where the stands were mostly red, and at Auburn, which is always one of the top environments in the SEC.

If I were Tennessee, then I am not sure this would be the game to choose to wear the all-black jersey combination. The jerseys look clean and are exciting, but will not help the Vols when they face the best defense in the country. The Georgia-Tennessee game should be fun and may be one of UGA’s more entertaining games all season.

Tennessee football announced their uniform combination via their Twitter account:
