We played very bad. It was a combination of three factors:
1. UGA's defense is very legit
2. UGA's crowd impacted us
3. We had a bad game on offense
Our defense gave up some big plays but really kept us in the game and allowed our offense to have chance after chance.
A lot of kudos to Georgia. They took on our Strength (our explosive offense) and beat our strength. There is no doubt, Georgia shut down our offense. One secret was Georgia never strayed from their game plan. Other teams have panicked against Tennessee and changed their game plans. Granted, Georgia was never put in a panic situation either though because we came out of the game rough. I really felt that first drive after the turnover by Georgia where we got held to a field goal thanks to two false starts really hurt. The Stetson Bennett scramble for TD and the punt also killed our momentum and we just could not recover from the pit we dug after that with the crowd, the defense for Georgia playing inspired, etc.
