**Rocky Top Rumble: No. 15 Tennessee Faces No. 3 Georgia in Top 25 Showdown**

**KNOXVILLE, Tenn.** – Neyland Stadium is set to ignite on Sept. 13 as the No. 15 Tennessee Volunteers (2-0) host the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) in a highly anticipated SEC opener. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET, with national coverage on ABC. The Vols are looking to break an eight-game losing streak against the Bulldogs in what promises to be a classic SEC rivalry matchup.

All eyes will be on Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar, who is set to make his SEC debut at Neyland Stadium. Aguilar impressed in his first appearance for the Vols, throwing for 247 yards and three touchdowns against Syracuse. But, he is stepping into a massive challenge against the dominant Georgia defense, currently ranked among the nation’s best in yards allowed (201.5 per game) and points allowed (6.5 per game).

While Georgia’s defense lost three key players to the NFL Draft, they remain a formidable unit under head coach Kirby Smart. Tennessee will need to find creative ways to move the ball.

Tennessee fans will recall the thrilling 2016 victory against Georgia, sealed by a Hail Mary pass from Josh Dobbs to Jauan Jennings. But such memories are bittersweet as it serves as one of only two wins against the Bulldogs in the last 15 meetings.

Sports analyst Mike Wilson predicts a Tennessee victory, believing Aguilar will rise to the occasion and establish himself as a force in the SEC. Wilson projects a final score of Tennessee 30, Georgia 24.
