Buck’s Beat: Georgia vs Tennessee Preview | Dawgs Open the Playbook in Knoxville

The stage is set for Georgia’s first true test of the season — a trip to Knoxville to face a hot and motivated Tennessee team. Buck Belue breaks down why this matchup feels like 1980 all over again.

• UGA’s offensive line is banged up, while the Vols are down their top two corners. Expect Georgia to attack the freshman corner early and often.

• Nate Frazier needs 15+ carries — the Dawgs must run the damn ball.

• Zachariah Branch could be the X-factor in this one with his playmaking ability.

• Gunner Stockton has to cut it loose, just like Buck did back in 1980 against the Vols.

• Tennessee will spread the field — KJ Bolden’s communication in the secondary will be critical to keeping the defense sound.

• And if it comes down to special teams, Georgia has the edge.

All that and more as Buck sets the scene for a classic SEC showdown in Knoxville.
