Staff will turn it around early tomorrow morning.
“The players will enjoy it when they get back on Monday. “Certainly, it’s going to be a big ball game, great football team,” Heupel said. That’s our goal- to be playing in Atlanta at the end of the season.”Įven Heupel - who always lives in the moment and rarely looks ahead - couldn’t help but take a peak forward to next week’s clash. “A championship,” Hooker said of what Tennessee’s chasing. Georgia’s become the class of the SEC east, winning five of the last six division titled culminating in the 2022 National Championship. To get to Atlanta, Tennessee must slay the giant 72 miles east of it. When Hendon Hooker told Heupel he’s returning for one final season, the second year head coach told him “Let’s go to Atlanta.” It’s not only what big time players live for but it’s what Tennessee’s been working for all offseason. “You live for games like that and you know we are going to bring our all for Georgia.” “That’s what you live for,” Tennessee receiver Jalin Hyatt said postgame. 1 team and more importantly will all but secure the SEC east title. 2 teams against each other, whoever exits Sanford Stadium with a victory will be the nation’s No. A phenomenal chance to pit the nation’s No. What matters is next Saturday’s clash of titans in Athens. More From RTI: College Gameday Headed To Georgia-Tennesseeīut Tuesday’s CFB Playoff rankings don’t matter. That’s how the CFB Playoff committee ranks teams. But there’s no argument who has the best resume. There’s arguments to be made that Tennessee isn’t the nation’s best team - Georgia and Ohio State would both be favored over UT on a neutral field. The Vols have the best win in the country, more quality wins than any other team and pass any eye test. TCU and Georgia are close behind with two - though the Bulldogs will be back at one once South Carolina falls out of the polls - and Ohio State has one. If you look at wins over current ranked teams, Tennessee leads the way with three. The Horned Frogs are close behind with four while Ohio State (two) and Georgia (one) don’t come close. Tennessee leads the way with five ranked wins. The Vols are one of four unbeaten power five teams along with Georgia, Ohio State and TCU. That performance should boost Tennessee to the top spot in the College Football Playoff committee’s inaugural rankings released Tuesday night. The result was a 38-point drubbing and Tennessee’s fifth ranked win of the season. While Tennessee’s offense wasn’t at its best, they still put up 44 points and “did enough to score enough points to get a good win” as Heupel noted postgame. Kentucky’s offense totaled just six yards in the second half before adding 51 yards against the Vols’ mop up duty defense late in the fourth quarter. The Kentucky quarterback failed to throw for 100 yards while tossing three interceptions. The Vols humiliated projected NFL top 10 draft pick Will Levis. However, if Tennessee’s defense wasn’t at its best it was as good as its been this season. Tennessee’s offense was far from its best against Kentucky failing to capitalize on a pair of Wildcat turnovers while not living up to its near impossible standard in the red zone. I thought we were very dialed in and locked into the process.” “These guys, the reasons we have found a way to be on the right side of it every week is because they have been focused, they have prepared, they have practiced, and they get themselves ready emotionally and physically to play hard once the ball is kicked off, all week long. “No,” Heupel said on whether he felt his team looking past the Wildcats this week. 19 Kentucky, 44-6, Saturday night at Neyland Stadium. The Vols weren’t perfect but were poised from the jump on their way to dominating No. If it was a trap, Tennessee strayed far away. 3 Tennessee ahead of next Saturday’s showdown against No. National and regional media talked all week about Kentucky being a trap game for No.
