Georgia vs. Tennessee preview

Georgia suffered a huge let down two weeks ago vs. Alabama. The coaching staff has had a week off to fix the mistakes. Playing at home and vs. a team that is struggling should be a big help. Tennessee has given UGA problems in the past however they are without their offensive coordinator from previous years and they are also without a QB that is as proven as previous years. I think Georgia will play very conservative on offensive and very aggressive on defense. The coaches have had to make some changes (middle linebacker, tight end, o - line). I expect all these changes to be productive. Most of all the running game will be helped by having our blocking fullback healthy. Knowshon will run for over 100 yards - that will open up the passing game. Just like the last half of last season. Dawgs win, not pretty but progess for two weeks ago. 35 - 17. Players to watch for:

Knowshon - The coaches will want to get off to a solid start. 25 plus carries and 100 plus yards. Caleb King could see a lot of action if Knowshon elbow is a prolbem.

Matt Stafford - I think the Tennessee secondary will get exposed when it matters. I don't think Matt will have a huge day passing but I do think he will have his chances. (200 yards)

A.J. Green - I think A.J. will make a couple of long plays down field as the defense trys to shut down the running game.

Reshad Jones - All the talk coming in is about Tennessee's safty. R. Jones will play just as well for UGA.

Rennie Curren - Solid as always. New leader of the Defense with Ellerbe out.

I don't think any one player will stand out in this game. Strong team effort is all we need and that is what we will get.
