For the first time in history the Associated Press Poll No. 1 team and the College Football Playoff No. 1 team are going to face off in the regular season, and boy is this matchup looking crazier by the minute.
Everybody’s talking about the tempo and volatility of this Tennessee Volunteer offense and the consistency (and sometimes lack thereof) that the Georgia Bulldog defense plays with as a counter. It’ll be a duel to remember, and it may just be determined by the third and sometimes forgotten dimension of football: special teams.
In what has probably been the game of the season so far, the Volunteers surpassed the Alabama Crimson Tide with a field goal to win in regulation at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.
