Georgia looks to continue momentum at Tennessee

Oct 6, 2007 - 10:46 AM No. 12 Georgia (4-1) at Tennessee (2-2), 3:30 pm EDT

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) - For whatever the reason, Georgia coach Mark Richt always seems to have his team focused for Southeastern Conference road games.

The 12th-ranked Bulldogs have another big SEC road test Saturday, this time at Tennessee.

Two weeks ago, Georgia (4-1, 2-1 SEC East) posted a 26-23 win at then-No. 16 Alabama on Matthew Stafford's 25-yard TD pass to Mikey Henderson in overtime. With the triumph, the Bulldogs improved to 23-3 in SEC action under Richt.

The Bulldogs followed that up with a 45-17 home rout of Mississippi last Saturday. Senior Thomas Brown rushed for a career-high 180 yards and three touchdowns for Georgia, which scored the game's final 28 points.

Tennessee (2-2, 0-1 East) has not played since a 48-27 non-conference win over Arkansas State on September 22.

Erik Ainge passed for a career-best 334 yards and four TDs for the Vols, who already have been blown out by a pair of ranked teams this season, California and Florida, and are the only SEC East team winless in conference play.

The road team has won the last four meetings, with Tennessee posting a 51-33 win in Athens last year.
