The Georgia Bulldogs entered a do-or-die game against the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday. Fresh off their second loss of the season against the Ole Miss Rebels, they UGA was in must-win territory if they wanted to make the College Football Playoff. Georgia took care of business, winning against the Volunteers 31-17.

The passing game finally emerged for the Bulldogs after looking dreadful recently. Carson Beck silenced the critics with 347 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. As a result, he made PFF's All-SEC team. Beck distributed the ball well. A staggering five different receivers finished with over 50 yards. Oscar Delp emerged as his No. 1 red zone target.

The defense was less consistent than in past games, but at the start of the second half, they finally gelled together to shutout Nico Iamaleava and the Volunteers offense. Chaz Chambliss led the team with two sacks. Smael Mondon Jr. had a sack and a tackle for loss, looking as healthy as ever. As a cherry on top, Damon Wilson II stripped Nico Iamaleava of the ball to end the game.
