Challenges for Tennessee

Georgia is an outstanding team this season but probably not as strong as they were in 2021. That said, they have enough talent to possibly repeat as CFP champions. To beat Georgia you have to limit Stetson Bennett who probably was deserving of last season’s Heisman Trophy. Stetson’s number are not quite as good as they were last season but they are still very good. He’s got 181 completions on 267 attempts for 2,349 yards 9 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Last season Bennett had 29 touchdowns, of course, they had the extra two games played in the CFP. Bennett is not just stats to his team. He’s a leader who, like Hendon Hooker of Tennessee, can carry his team on his back.

Saturday‘s game kicks off at 2:30 PM CT (3:30 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the CBS
