ATHENS — Kirby Smart is working to get No. 1-ranked Georgia ready for some fast-break football at Tennessee, and it hasn’t been easy.

UT is quick...but I'll put my money on real lightning every time. UT is being hyped ..rat poison ...as we knew would happen. How can they be next to perfection with four losses and UGA is the 21-point favorite? UT has not played a defense as formidable as UGA. They slow the game and UGA offense scores the points. That is my game scenario.
I believe the UT offense will be the biggest test our defense has faced to this point. I'm not sure how we counter that tempo defensively. I guess that's what the coaching staff get paid the big bucks for.
I think UT will score more points than any other team has, on the dawgs. The key will be GA's running game. If we can run the ball and keep that express offense, of theirs, off the field, keep their defense gassed, it will be no problem.
All fair enough… except… Noting our pace is a little bogus. We have a tendency to significantly slow things down second half. I’d be interested to see (but not calculate) the difference between our first half tempo vs our second half tempo thus far.
It was easy to make jokes about Tennessee during the off season and the first half of this season. They are no longer a joke. We need defensive pressure every snap and holding called when their linemen walk back to the huddle with the jerseys of our front four in their hands!
Tennessee like Mizzou will load the box against UGA's running game.
Nick Chubb with a monster game. He has his original speed back before his injury. Flat out ran two defenders in the secondary.
So, there is a post on DN that allows comments.
we will have to throw many times as UT will stack the box! JT will be more involved this game! IMO!
What are the legal ways to slow down the hurry up? You can’t continue to fake injury, although I would expect UGA to do that once or twice.
There were some really wild numbers in the UT vs UK box score...UK held the ball over 46 minutes and ran 99 plays (something like 3 times as many plays as UT). So UT's offense will be relatively fresh going against the Dawgs, but I'm curious how such exaggerated statistics like these might impact performance in the following week.
