Why Tennessee road test looks as challenging for Georgia this season as ever before
Kirby Smart preaches the value of becoming a so-called âstudent of the gameâ to his players for moments like the one that awaits his Georgia football team in Knoxville, Tenn.

"Deafening" is a good description - have been there many times. Was there for the hobnail boot game, didn't think loud could get that loud - and the stadium was shaking. I couldn't even hear my buddy sitting right next to me that day, it all was right after UT scored with about 50 seconds left on the clock. It was unbelievably & unimaginably loud, half the stadium also got up to leave after they scored. Then with about 39 seconds left on the clock, the Dawgs fly downfield and score again - Greene to Haynes.
That day, it was also the quietest stadium I had ever been to - all in one day. It was a beautiful thing, could've heard a pin drop.
It's a tough place to play…hate the Vols, but they have earned it -bottom of the barrel & top on the hate-o-meter for me.
Yes, this will absolutely be a big test. Away game against a tough opponent in a hostile environment. We need to play our best or we will quickly get behind. Fingers crossed we step up to the challenge.
That was pretty cool reading there Brother !! Thanks for sharing !! Let’s hope our Dawgs are about to break their orange hearts again !! Go Dawgs !!
Ya’ll I’d heap rather score TD’s we all know that. But we have a not so secret weapon in Woodring that might be the difference in perhaps this game and others this year. I’m sure glad he’s a Dawg !! And once Thorson is completely back physically and mentally he to is a weapon in giving us optimal field position.
I Believe it’s gonna be a battle but our Dawgs Will prevail against the Orange Ts yet again !! Go Dawgs !!9
Best special teams in the country - if you “axe” me.
This is always one the most stressful games to watch when the Dawgs are on defense due to Huepel's fast break tempo on offense. As a fan, you can hardly catch your breath after each play, so I can't imagine what it's like for the players. Ha, I miss those plodding offenses that the vols trotted out there in years past. In both 2021 and 2023 at Neyland, the vols got off to fast starts before the game settled in, and this is particularly a concern this year given how early it is in the season, and without the Dawgs having faced a worthy opponent. How quickly the defense can adjust, and how mistake free the offense can play, will be a huge keys in the first few drives. This obviously can't be like at Bama last year when it felt like the game was over after the first quarter. It seems like a lot of the vols success occurs early in the season for these reasons as teams are still gelling on defense and not prepared for the fast break offense.
WHo is going to step up and fill the shoes of Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey? It's been 2 years now, no one has done it. No TE catches at all last week? 2 TD catches by a WR this year(one was just a qucik out where he ran unmolested for the TD.), I believe. Time for some go-to guys to emerge.
Probably the MOST frustrating game I have ever been to was the '92 GA/UT game in Athens. We had what I thought was a great offensive team that year. Zier, Hastings, Hearst and crew. We coiuld put some points on the board in a hurry, but no D'.
It was Heath Shuler's coming out party that game and I think it was Phil Fulmer's 2nd game as a HC - after he stabbed Johnny Majors in the back & took his place. Have to go back and count, but believe we had 5 or 6 turnovers in that game - came in ranked #5 maybe?? - can’t remember.
The Vols came back with less than a minute to go and won by 3. What a miserable trip back to Nashville for me - my UT buds gave me **** all the way back…and all year, they were good like that. Lived in Nashville for 11 years, lived there thru the Vols 9 game winning streak. A great place to live with some great, great friends…but those hillbillies change on you gametime.
There have been some doozies thru the years, kind of expect that this Saturday…but still hate UT worse than any, living there will do that to you.
Respect them, but also hate them.
Oh yeah, still haven't gotten over the bad taste from that game…the turnovers were just horrible. Beating tOSU in the citrus bowl was nice, but the season could have been a lot more special if the Dawgs had won. I'd also say this game was a defining moment for UT…it really seemed to propel them through the remainder of the 90s.
We have to let it fly with Gunner, and we will be in trouble on offense. UT will stack the box and dare us to beat them with the pass in the first half, no doubt. I guess that if we do show, we can pass with eight in the box, then they will adjust, but they are at a disadvantage at the corner position. We should have some open 1-on-1s, but Gunner needs to release that ball early and let his WRs make plays. Our defense will be pumped up and show up, but we also need our offense to unleash itself and go make a statement in this game. Period. No one is picking GA in this game, the pundits or Vegas. For the first time in a long time, I remember that happening. This is a must-win game for GA, period.
For some reason, my spidey sense is saying we'll see a flea flicker at some point. We've been hearing so much about how UGA has intentionally kept the playbook "vanilla" in the first two games, plus how it's going to be "unleashed" by the offensive staff in the UT game, it just makes me wonder.
Are we going to "unleash" just by just actually throwing the ball downfield? If so, then that (in my book) basic capability being highlighted would be worrisome. Reverse? Flea flicker? Other?
Interested to see... at least we don't have much longer to wait!
