Game Day - Oct. 11th

Tennesse vs. Georgia

Tennessee leads the all-time series with Georgia 20-15-2 dating to 1899. UT rallied for a 51-33 triumph two years ago in Athens--the Vols' second straight win at UGA's Sanford Stadium.

The Big Orange own a 10-7-1 advantage over the Bulldogs in Athens, and UT head coach Fulmer boasts an 11-5 career mark against Georgia. Fulmer won his first eight games against UGA from 1992-99. Those eight triumphs were part of a nine-game win streak for Tennessee against Georgia that marked the longest such streak by either team in the series (1989-99).

Senior tailback Arian Foster will see a pleasing and familiar site Saturday as he walks on to the field at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga.

In his last two games vs. Georgia, Foster has rushed for a combined 161 yards and scored a remarkable six touchdowns. In the 2007 game in Knoxville, he scored on the ground in each of the first three quarters to help bury the Bulldogs behind a 28-7 deficit. His TD carries were of 9, 22 and 4 yards, respectively.

Tennessee is averaging 18.0 points a game, while Georgia is putting up 34.4 points per game. In scoring defense, Tennessee is surrendering 16.6 points a game while the Bulldogs have allowed 19.2. The Bulldogs rank fifth in the SEC in punting (36.8 net average) and the Volunteers are holding down the 12th spot (29.0). Tennessee (-1) and Georgia (+2) rank sixth and fifth, respectively, in the SEC in turnover margin. The Bulldogs have been near perfect in scoring inside the Red Zone. They are scoring at a 94 percent clip (16-for-17) with 13 touchdowns and three field goals. The only time Georgia has not scored inside the Red Zone was when the clock ran out in the 27-10 win at ASU with the Bulldogs at the 1 yard line.

In Georgia’s four wins this year, the Bulldog have outscored their opponents 79-17. In the season opener, the Bulldogs built a 24-0 lead over Georgia Southern and they jumped out to a 28-7 edge over CMU. Georgia trailed South Carolina 7-6 and led ASU 21-3. In Georgia’s 41-30 loss to No. 8 Alabama, it was the Crimson Tide who had the quick start after building a 31-0 halftime lead.
