KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Georgia overcame a slow start to remain unbeaten Saturday night at Tennessee, recording a 43-14 victory.

 The Vols gave Georgia more of a battle than many expected through the first 28 minutes of play.

Tennessee was as much as a 25-point underdog to the Bulldogs, but it didn’t look like it for much of the first half at Neyland Stadium.

Georgia’s offense was able to rally from a 14-10 deficit in the second quarter, scoring 13 points in the final 2 minutes before half to take a 26-14 lead into intermission.

There were plenty of ups and downs once again, with breakdowns on offense and defense for Coach Kirby Smart’s team.
