Tennessee leads the series 20-15-2 and the Volunteers have won the last two contests by a combined score of 86-47. An 18-13 victory in 2002 was the last time Georgia defeated Tennessee in Athens.
Storm clouds are forming over the Rocky Tops. In the past Phil Fulmer has been able to side-step talks of his firing/resigning by winning big games. He says he’s not worried about his job, but after getting smoked by Florida for a second time in as many years and squeaking out a four-point victory against Northern Illinois Fulmer is switching quarterbacks this week.
He is replacing Jonathan Crompton with Nick Stephens. A move that isn’t surprising considering the fact that the Vols rank 98th in passing offense, 106th in scoring offense and 109th in passing efficiency. With a loss to Georgia the next change at Tennessee might be the hiring of a new head coach.
Georgia 35, Tennessee 18
