Tennessee tailback Marlin Lane runs the ball.
ATHENS. Ga. – You’re obviously happier if you’re a Georgia Bulldog this morning. Your No. 5-ranked team is not only 5-0 on the year after Saturday’s 51-44 victory over Tennessee and 3-0 in the Southeastern Conference, but you’ve scored at least 41 points in all five games.
Maybe South Carolina will have an answer for you this coming weekend in Columbia, or maybe no one will stop you until the SEC title game, if then.
Regardless, it remains a good thing to be a Dawg these days.
Or as winning coach Mark Richt noted, “We’re right where we want to be.”
But if there isn’t exactly joy in Volsville this morning, there is surely Tennessee Pride. Spotting the big, bad Bulldogs double-digit leads after both the first and third quarters, UT fought to a 30-all halftime tie and had the ball twice inside the final three minutes of the game with a chance to tie or win.
