SATURDAY’S STAR

Outside linebacker Darrell Taylor’s three sacks led a Tennessee defense that turned in its most impressive effort against a quality opponent so far this season. Georgia’s only touchdown in the first quarter came on a fluke play. Over time, the unit simply wore down because of Tennessee’s inability to maintain a drive on offense.

SATURDAY’S STAT

Georgia led the time of possession in the first half, 18:20 to 11:40. Tennessee’s offensive ineptitude forced its defense to stay on the field for most of the half. As a result, it could not sustain its level of play. Georgia ended the game with nearly a 15-minute edge in time of possession.
