As we've talked about all week, getting pressure on Eason will be a key in this game. What's interesting is there has been some talk in Athens that the Bulldogs could have a short leash on left tackle Tyler Catalina. Isaiah Wynn has worked some at tackle in the past and if Derek Barnett really gets off to a big start watching the OL should be worth watching.
This is definitely going to be a line of scrimmage game.
For the Vols, we will be watching warmups and seeing how Jalen Reeves-Maybin does with his shoulder. They took a closer look at things this week so there may be more concern there than they first thought at the beginning of the week.
In the secondary Malik Foreman could be a real option at cornerback as the Vols are struggling with depth. Baylen Buchanan and Emmanuel Moseley will start, but we wonder just how much Justin Martin goes after what happened last week.
Finally, it's worth remembering that Georgia will be in an odd front on defense and that was something Tennessee struggled with against App State. Tennessee used a pulling center to disguise protection on three passing TDs in the last two weeks and they may not be able to do that with someone over the center this week. That means a possibility of more max protection when the Vols want to take a deep shot and less deception to hold the linebackers and safeties.
