5. at Georgia
The Vols’ match-up against Georgia is another one they won’t be expected to win, and the fact that it’s on the road will make it even more difficult. But this game will serve as the best barometer test for Tennessee this season, and it’s against an SEC East opponent as well.
Georgia is easily the best team in the East, and if the Vols want to see how much work they have to do in order to compete with the Bulldogs, this game will be the measuring stick. Tennessee will be close to a four touchdown underdog against Georgia most likely, but this is still an important game because of recruiting, the conference rivalry, and for pride.
Tennessee fans are tired of moral victories, but if the Vols can manage to keep this game close, then there will be plenty of positives to take away as UT goes into a bye week. But in all likelihood, the Vols will be coming off a loss after this game and will need time to lick their wounds.
