Under the new clock rules a team may only get 4 possessions/half. Should you happen to start the 2nd half behind you want that extra possession. Plus many teams start slow and/or cautiously/tense. But biggest thing is a fast chance to cut into a lead (if necessary or bury a team) w/1st 2nd half possession.
I really don't understand these betting lines, either. I mean, how are we only 10-point favorites over Tennessee at this point in the season. Don't get me wrong, I'd be cool with a one-point victory, but I just don't understand why we aren't favored by more. Is it just because UT is at home? And it's the same line as UF-Missouri, which I also don't understand. Florida clearly doesn't have what it takes and Schraeder -- who is just like Brock Bowers in attitude and makeup, to me -- is going to run roughshod over them. Just don't understand, but again, I'll be happy with a 1-point win. Go Dawgs!
What people do not realize is we are healthier now then we have been all season.
How do you stop this offense? Bowers, McKonkey, Rara, Lovett, JackSaint, Milton, Edwards, Delp.
Mims is back and OL is at full strength now. Defense is only going to get better as Bell and Wilson are learning. Everette looks pretty good to me this weekend (cannot blame him for that 1 handed catch as coverage was good). Our safeties are the best in the land.
We will destroy this Tennessee Team. Book It!

I don't know about that. In the games that they have lost - Mizzou, Bama, Florida - the Vols couldn't run the ball or stop the run. And Joe Milton's 65% passing is actually below average for a modern spread QB. Note that Carson Beck by comparison has 72% as a dropback QB in a pro style offense that hasn't had consistently dominant WR play. It would take a combination of UGA playing uncharacteristically poorly on pass defense and for some reason deciding not to mitigate the crowd noise and the Vols pass rush - which admittedly is pretty good - by just leaning on Edwards and Milton to keep the game close.
Florida actually played LSU a decent game being in Death Valley. But Mizzou's defense is way better than LSU's.
Tennessee are an able opponent. Only a fool would overlook their ability, toughness, and home crowd. I trust Coach Smart will have our team razor sharp and laser focused! Go Dawgs!
Tennessee is trash. We will run them out of their own stadium. Dawgs by A LOT!
This is not last year's Tennessee. Missouri just boat raced them by 28. They lost to a very bad Florida team and should of lost to a poorly coached Texas A&M. This is NOT a good Tennessee team. Milton is not good and his accuracy is not good.
Dawgs in a rout as we are playing our best football and healthier now than ever. 3 Interceptions against Milton. 4 Sacks. Milton and Edwards run for 180. Beck throws for 350.
Don’t let Heupel’s blarney full you … he fully intends to run the ball down our throats … if he can … if he can’t that probably means we are also getting good QB pressure, ie, insufficient time to take advantage of one on one’s will be few and far between
