Time for Tennessee after huge win

The Georgia Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0) have moved up to No. 6 in the rankings in both the AP and the USA Today polls after their thrilling 44-41 victory over the LSU Tigers last Saturday at Sanford Stadium.

For the second consecutive week, the Bulldogs will play on national television via CBS. This Saturday they travel to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers (3-2, 0-1) at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee leads the head- to-head series 21-19-2, but Georgia has won four of the last five gamesincluding a 51-44 shootout last season in Athens. The Vols, who will be sporting new uniforms for Saturdays showdown, are under the command of first- year head coach Butch Jones.

Some may think the Bulldogs havent got- ten over their emotional win over the Tigers and could be susceptible to letdown against the Volunteers. Head coach Mark Richt put that notion to rest in a press conference on Tuesday.

You dont ever want to let down, but were playing Tennessee so I dont foresee a letdown, said Richt. If we were playing somebody else, you might start talking that way, but not when you play Tennessee.

ALL-TIME PACE ...

Senior quarterback Aaron Murray is 99 yards away from breaking David Greenes career SEC passing record, which stands at 11,528. Murray expressed what it would mean to him to accomplish the feat.

Its definitely an honor, Murray assured. Its crazy to think about. Ive never been a guy whos worried about stats; its all about winning, winning, winning. But its definitely an honor to be alongside some of those guys like Greene and (Danny) Wuerffelguys who did some unbelievable things while they were at their colleges.

NEWS AND NOTES ...

Sophomore tailback Todd Gurley suffered an ankle sprain against LSU and has been listed as day-to-day. It is unknown at this point whether Gurley will play against Tennessee on Saturday.

After registering only five sacks in the first three games, Georgias defensive line shook off the cobwebs and recorded four against LSUincluding a first-down sack by freshman Leonard Floyd that appeared to rattle Tigers quarterback Zach Mettenberger on their final drive of the game.

On the opposite side of the ball, the Georgia offensive line rose to the occasion, limiting the LSU pass rush to zero sacks. This was the second consecutive game that the big hogs up front kept their field general clean for the most part.
