Vols, Bulldogs open tough
I’ve never been a fan of Tennessee, but kudos to the Vols for opening the season with a tough opponent. Of all the SEC teams playing this Saturday, Tennessee is in the most danger of losing when it travels to California to meet the Golden Bears.
Cal is still steaming from that season-opening thrashing last year and will be itching for some payback.
I think Georgia will outlast Oklahoma State, but I’m expecting a barn-burner in that one Saturday night. OSU has a terrific group of wide receivers, led by the explosive Adarius Bowman. This guy is 6-4, 220 and is athletic enough to play for OSU’s basketball team. He’s got NFL written all over him.
In contrast, Georgia wide receivers caught only four touchdowns last year. The Bulldogs will have to get more production in that area this year.
If Georgia is to win, RBs Brannan Southerland, Thomas Brown and Kregg Lumpkin will likely produce the points. Last season, Southerland became the first Georgia fullback in 40 years to lead the Bulldogs in rushing.
