"This SEC matchup has all the ingredients for chaos. Georgia walks into Neyland Stadium as a road favorite, but Tennessee has the firepower and home-field edge to make this anything but straightforward. It's strength on strength, tempo versus explosiveness, and two quarterbacks with very different profiles stepping into a spotlight game with playoff implications. The margin for error will be slim, and whichever team imposes its style first likely dictates everything that follows."
"Through two weeks, Tennessee's defense is 95th in defensive success rate against the run, and Georgia has the depth to exploit it with a committee approach led by Nate Frazier, Dwight Phillips Jr. and Chauncey Bowens, in addition to QB Gunner Stockton's mobility. Sustaining drives, chewing clock and keeping Tennessee's explosive receivers on the sideline is how Georgia dictates pace."
