The Bulldogs fell behind 7-0 after the first play from scrimmage when Jaylen Wright raced 75 yards for a score. However, Georgia responded with 24 unanswered points to take command. The Bulldogs blanked the Vols in the second half and added two more scores for the final.
With the victory, Georgia completed a third straight undefeated run through the SEC, marking the first time a team had accomplished that since the Bulldogs did it from 1980-82. Also, it was an SEC and school record 28th consecutive league win.
Georgia (7-2, 5-2 SEC) returns to Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium Saturday for the first time since Oct. 12. The Bulldogs have played an SEC-low three home games where they are 3-0. Georgia went 2-2 on the road and 2-0 at neutral sites (Atlanta & Jacksonville). The Bulldogs now finish the regular season with three home games against Tennessee, UMASS and Georgia Tech.
Last Saturday, Georgia played its final road game of the regular season, capping a stretch that saw it play at Kentucky, #4 Alabama, #1 Texas, Florida in Jacksonville and No. 16 Ole Miss.
Both ESPN College Game Day and the traveling SEC road show “SEC Nation” will be in Athens this week for the matchup. On Oct. 19, the GameDay gang was in Austin for Georgia’s big win over then top-ranked Texas as well as the Alabama game in Tuscaloosa in September. SEC Nation was in Oxford last Saturday for the Georgia-Ole Miss game and in Jacksonville for the Florida contest.
This marks only the seventh time in the regular season that GameDay and SEC Nation will visit the same game site and first time in 2024 Both crews were in Jacksonville in 2018 and in Athens for the UK game in 2021 and UT game in 2022. Last year, GameDay was in Athens for Georgia’s win over the Rebels.
Georgia is 18-18 when GameDay is on site for a Georgia game including 7-2 in Athens. Georgia’s first appearance with the show came on Sept. 9, 1995 in Knoxville when unranked Georgia nearly pulled off the upset that day as No. 8 UT hung for a 30-27 win. The Bulldogs are 27-12 when SEC Nation is present including 8-3 in Athens. This crew last visited Athens for the 2023 Kentucky game as the Bulldogs posted a 51-13 victory.
