Georgia Bulldogs Triumph Over Tennessee Volunteers in Key SEC Matchup
The intense SEC matchup between the No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers and No. 10 Georgia Bulldogs unfolded at Sanford Stadium in Athens on November 16, 2024, with the Bulldogs ultimately prevailing 31-17.
The game started off with Tennessee establishing an early lead, scoring 10 unanswered points in the first quarter. The Volunteers showcased a strong offense, including a 52-yard field goal from Max Gilbert and a touchdown run by Miles Kitselman from the one-yard line. However, the tides turned as Georgia’s quarterback Carson Beck rallied the Bulldogs. After a sluggish start, Beck completed 18 of 32 passes for 233 yards, two touchdowns, and added a rushing score, leading Georgia to a 31-7 run over the final three quarters.
Despite Tennessee’s early momentum, Georgia’s defense made crucial adjustments, effectively stifling the Volunteers’ offense in the second half. Quarterback Nico Iamaleava struggled to find his rhythm, finishing the game with only 167 passing yards and failing to throw a touchdown.
In critical moments, Georgia’s offense capitalized, most notably with a lengthy 12-play, 92-yard drive that chewed up over six minutes of clock time, culminating in a touchdown run by Nate Frazier. With injury concerns affecting both teams—most notably for Georgia, who played without key players like Dillon Bell and Travis Etienne—the Bulldogs achieved their first win over Tennessee after losing the previous year.
The victory keeps Georgia’s hopes alive for the College Football Playoff, as they now carry a 9-2 record into the final weeks of the regular season. The Bulldogs’ ability to come back against Tennessee signals their resilience, hinting at a strong finish as they prepare for the remainder of their schedule.
