Tennessee fans were feeling their oats. The Vols came into Saturday’s showdown in Athens ranked #1 in the nation. By the time they left it was abundantly clear that they weren’t even close to the best college football team in Clarke County on this day.
Georgia rode an explosive offensive performance and a consistent defensive effort to a solid halftime lead. Then they held on through a late game monsoon, securing a 27-13 victory that wasn’t as close as the score would indicate.
The vaunted Volunteer offense came into today averaging a national best 553 yards of offense.
