Georgia Beats Tennessee 31-17 at Home

No. 12 Georgia showcased a strong performance against No. 7 Tennessee, winning 31-17 and boosting their College Football Playoff (CFP) hopes after a disappointing loss to Ole Miss. Quarterback Carson Beck excelled, throwing for 347 yards and three touchdowns, including two to tight end Oscar Delp, while the Bulldogs' defense held Tennessee to only 313 yards. Despite falling behind 10-0 early, Georgia outscored the Volunteers 31-7 for the remainder of the game, marking their eighth consecutive victory over Tennessee. Coach Kirby Smart expressed pride in his team's resilience, noting their ability to bounce back after doubts following their previous defeat. Georgia's victory positions them favorably for a potential playoff berth, needing to secure wins in their final games against UMass and Georgia Tech to solidify their spot. The loss complicates postseason prospects for Tennessee, which now faces uncertainty in their path to the SEC championship game.
