Tennessee at Georgia: First half scoring summary

Tennesse at Georgia football: A first half scoring summary. Tennessee leads the Dawgs 21-17 at the half.

It wasn’t the first half Georgia fans were hoping for, but it is still very manageable for Kirby’s Dawgs.

Georgia started the game with a disaster play when center Trey Hill had a wild snap, resulting in a Tennessee defensive touchdown.

The Dawgs fired back in the first quarter on a good drive, capping it off with a Zamir White 1-yard touchdown run.  The first quarter finished with a score of 7-7.

After a Georgia defensive stop, Stetson Bennett led a long drive for the Dawgs.  Bennett ran for a 10-yard touchdown on a quarterback keeper, diving for the pylon and giving Georgia a 14-7 lead.

Tennessee senior quarterback Jarrett Guarantano made the Bulldogs pay for going for it on 4th down in UGA territory.  Following a turnover on downs, Guarantano hooked up with senior wide receiver Josh Palmer for a 36-yard touchdown.

Georgia freshman wide receiver Jermaine Burton broke free for a 43-yard run, setting up kicker Jack Podlesny to drill home a 47-yard field goal, giving Georgia a 17-14 lead.

The next drive Guarantano found his man again, throwing a 27-yard strike to Palmer for his second touchdown on the day.

Georgia got to the one-yard-line on its last drive but Zamir White was stuffed by the Volunteers defense multiple times, resulting in the end of the half.

Tennessee leads Georgia 21-17 and will receive the ball to start the half.

Throwback: Comedian Trevor Noah roasts Tennessee football

Ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs versus Tennessee Volunteers game, let’s take a look back at when Comedian Trevor Noah roasted the Volunteers.

Ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs versus Tennessee Volunteers game, let’s take a look back at when Comedian Trevor Noah roasted the Volunteers. Noah poked fun at the Vols in the offseason, when the status of the college football season was very much in doubt.

The SEC was on the end of several jokes throughout the offseason, as usual. In this case, the victim was the University of Tennessee, specifically its fan base. Trevor Noah does a great job of impersonating the dedication and almost unreasonable loyalty of Volunteer fans:

Unfortunately for Tennessee fans, they haven’t had much to cheer about the past couple of times the Georgia Bulldogs traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee. The University of Georgia has outscored the Vols 84-14 in their past two trips to Rocky Top.

This Saturday, Georgia and Tennessee face off in a top fifteen match-up that is a crucial SEC East game. It is projected to be a much closer contest than the previous several editions of the rivalry.
