Gametime 2010 – Tennessee at Georgia
On Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs return to Athens to host the Tennessee Volunteers at Sanford Stadium. The game will be televised by the SEC Network at 12:00 p.m. ET.
Georgia (1-4, 0-3 SEC) has now lost four games in a row for the first time ever under Mark Richt. Tennessee (2-3, 0-2 SEC) nearly upset LSU last week, but a comedy of errors by both teams in the closing seconds resulted in a Tiger victory.
The winner of this game will have the illustrious title of not being in last place in the SEC East. The loser will remain winless and could miss a bowl game.
