Twitter reacts: Georgia weathers Tennessee storm, pulls away for 41-17 win
No. 1 Georgia has moved to 10-0 with a dominant win on the road over rival Tennessee.
It wasn’t easy. The Vols scored a touchdown on their first possession, which marked the first touchdown allowed in the first quarter by Georgia this season, while the 7-point deficit was the largest UGA had faced this year.
Georgia responded with a score of their own but stalled for the rest of the first period.
Tennessee held a 10-7 lead at the start of the 2nd quarter before UGA stormed back with 17 unanswered points to take a 24-10 lead into the half.
Georgia kept that momentum throughout the second half. Tennessee’s offense couldn’t get anything going until a garbage-time touchdown with just a few minutes left in the fourth quarter.
That gave us a 41-17 final.
Senior running back James Cook was the player of the game by far. Cook totaled 147 yards from scrimmage with three total touchdowns (2 rushing, 1 receiving).

I'll say what a lot of folks won't and I have no problem doing it: Georgia in all likelihood just punched its ticket into the #CFBPlayoff. Charleston Southern and Georgia Teach have a near 0% chance on beating this team.
Dawgs will enter SEC Championship Game undefeated.

Looks like Stetson Bennett has firmly established himself as Kirby Smart's QB1. No true rotation tonight. Congrats to Stet.

The graphic on CBS that said “most points allowed this season” with an empty Neyland Stadium in the back is just hysterical

Important takeaways from this game. Still need to see some improvement from Stetson.
UGA ran the SEC table.
