No. 3 Georgia makes statement with dominant 27-13 win over No. 1 Tennessee

The biggest game of the season was a completely one-sided affair.

No. 3 Georgia, the defending national champions, welcomed No. 1 Tennessee to Athens on Saturday and made it very clear that the SEC East still belongs to the Bulldogs with a commanding 27-13 victory.

Tennessee opened the scoring with a field goal, but it did not take too long for Georgia to completely seize control of the game as senior quarterback Stetson Bennett made multiple big plays in the first quarter.

First, on a third-and-10 play from the Tennessee 13, Bennett deftly avoided pressure and outran the Vols defense and dove to the pylon to put Georgia up 7-3.
