The Georgia Bulldogs have played arguably their most complete football game since the opener against Oregon and find themselves leading 24–6 at the half over the top ranked Tennessee Volunteers.
Georgia has done a few important things extremely well. First, they have kept Tennessee’s receivers in front of them and tackled well. Second, they have gotten enough pressure on Hendon Hooker to keep him from getting comfortable deep looks. Finally, that combined to force Tennessee to make long drives converting multiple third downs. That is hard to do especially in a road environment.
Offensively, the Georgia front five have opened up holes at a far better rate than anyone had a right to expect against a solid Tennessee defensive front.
