KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Jake Fromm threw a touchdown pass and ran for two more scores Saturday as No. 7 Georgia rolled to a 41-0 blowout of Tennessee, which suffered its first shutout in nearly a quarter-century.
Nick Chubb added 109 yards rushing to help Georgia race to its first 5-0 start since 2012, the last year the Bulldogs reached the Southeastern Conference championship game.
“The culture in practice is what created games like today, buying into that,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “Right now the kids are buying into that. We’re not having to convince them because they’re seeing the results.”
Tennessee (3-2, 0-2) was shut out for the first time since a 31-0 loss to Florida in 1994.
“It was as bad of an offensive performance as I’ve ever been a part of,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. “It’s inexcusable.”
