Challenges for Georgia
Georgia has to frustrate and limit the production of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker. Hooker has been phenomenal so far in 2022. So for this season, he has 156 completions in 219 attempts for 2,338 yards, 21 touchdowns, and an impressive single interception. He’s also run for 338 yards and four scores. He’s completed 71 percent of his passes and has a passing efficiency rating of 191.6., which is second best nationally after Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud (200.2). Georgia has to get pressure and containment on Hooker or things could go haywire in Athens.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 2:30 PM CT (3:30 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the CBS Network.
