Tennessee ran into a buzzsaw on Saturday afternoon at Neyland Stadium. It was a fun start for the Volunteers against No. 1 Georgia, as Josh Heupel maintained his ridiculous first quarter numbers. Midway through the second quarter, however, the talent of Georgia became too much to overcome.
Heupel’s offense was pretty much smothered from there. Hendon Hooker played his worst game of the season, which was likely a direct result of the pressure that the Bulldogs were able to generate. Tennessee failed to get anything going on the ground either, which didn’t help Hooker.
It was a familiar result for Georgia this season — 17 points is actually the most that the Bulldogs have surrendered all year.
