Initially was leaning Georgia, especially off a loss. However, the Volunteers just played a team similar in style, Alabama, and won on the road. The Volunteers' defense is not as dominant as in seasons past but it’s trending upwards. Texas was able to make the Bulldogs play a half-court game in the second half last game and what better team to do that again than Tennessee. This is a tough rebounding matchup for the Bulldogs as Tennessee leads the nation in offensive boards and the Bulldogs are near the bottom of the country in keeping their opponents off the offensive glass.
