“A bunch of kids that love this place. We took zero out of the portal. They all love it here. They competed their ass off and these fans are elite. I’m so proud of our university and these kids. They practiced their ass off for two weeks.”

Facing the best offense in college football today, Georgia's defensive personnel came in and absolutely smothered their opponents. Heisman Trophy candidate Hendon Hooker found himself running from the Bulldogs pass-rush nearly every possession. As a result, Hooker turned in one of his worst performances for the season. It was an impressive outing for the Georgia defense.

The Georgia offense capitalized on their defense shutting down the Tennessee offense. QB Stenton Bennett was on fire all game long, scoring one rushing touchdown while also throwing two early in the game to take a 21-3 lead. If Georgia wants to secure their spot in the College Football Playoffs, they'll need more all-around performances like this from the team.
