This Saturday will go a long way to deciding whether Georgia still has a shot at the SEC East this year and whether Phil Fulmer still has a job next year.
Georgia boasts the SEC's 6th best scoring offense, averaging over 32 points a game versus Tennessee's league worst scoring defense, allowing over 37 points a game. On the other side of the ball is a Tennessee offense that is scoring an average of over 34 points a game against a Georgia defense allowing just over 17 points a game.
Look for the Georgia defense to blitz early and often to keep Eric Ainge on his heels and feeling the pressure most of the afternoon. Ainge has had to press a little more with the defense not providing enough overall help, and the running game being merely average. Expect there to be numerous interceptions in this game and the Georgia secondary steps up big in this game.
Georgia has notched 3 wins in a row in Neyland Stadium under Mark Richt. Look for that trend to continue. There simply is no better at getting his team prepared for big road games than Mark Richt. Tennessee simply isn't doing enough on defense right now and the rent is due on Richt-Neyland Stadium.
Prediction: Georgia wins 31-20

It should be "Erik Ainge" not "Eric Ainge." You also forgot to mention that Richt is 0-5 vs. his last 5 SEC east games.
It doesn't matter how you spell it because he will be on his back most of the night. Dawgs roll again in Knoxville. Pay back is a b**ch.
The article was stupid and unfounded and the comments have been even more-stupid. There is no way that UT will ever fire Phil Fulmer...he might retire from the pressure but he will always have a job at UT as long as he wants it. Personally, I think it will be Richt that will be replaced in a couple of years. It was a great game and it ended just the way I said it would before it was even played...UT winning by a large margin. Go Vols baby, GO VOLS!
