Stay connected for news and updates

At stake: Relevance in the SEC East. By the sixth game of the season, the Vols had already lost to UCLA, Florida, and Auburn, but they'd won the SEC East the prior year with two SEC losses, so all hope was not yet lost.

In-game context: Georgia was pretty much having its way with Tennessee in the first half, taking a 20-7 lead into the locker room.
