UGA Football: Bulldogs Storm Back For 8th Straight Win Over Vols

ATHENS, Ga. — The No. 12-ranked Georgia football team got key contributions from veteran starters, freshman backups and everything in between in the Bulldogs’ 31-17 win over No. 7 Tennessee in front of a sellout crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium on Saturday night.

The win was the Bulldogs’ eighth in a row over the Volunteers, who went ahead 10-0 in the first quarter and were outscored 31-7 the rest of the way. Quarterback Carson Beck paced the Bulldogs offense with 347 yards passing, throwing a pair of first-half touchdown passes to tight end Oscar Delp and running for the go-ahead score in the third quarter. Beck completed passes to 10 different receivers, with tight ends Ben Yurosek and Delp combining for nine receptions for 106 yards.

Relying heavily on the passing attack, Georgia (8-2, 6-2 SEC) finished with 453 yards of offense — seven Bulldogs had at least two receptions — while holding Tennessee (8-2, 5-2) to 313 yards, more than 150 below the Vols’ average coming into the game. Linebackers Jalon Walker and Smael Mondon Jr. and defensive back KJ Bolden all had eight stops to lead the defense.

Both ESPN College Game Day and the traveling SEC road show “SEC Nation” will be in Athens this week for the matchup.

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.
