A.J. Green is leading the SEC in catches (41), receiving yards (682) and touchdown receptions (6), but Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin has found a flaw in the sophomore's game.
Kiffin was asked this week to compare Alabama's Julio Jones, who has 13 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown, to Green.
"Julio is more physical," Kiffin said. "Both really dangerous, both really big, can go up and get the ball. A.J. has a tendency to run out of bounds with the ball. Julio finishes his runs and is more physical."
Georgia coach Mark Richt was asked after Tuesday's practice about Green running out of bounds. "Oh, really?" Richt said. "I didn't really notice it. Julio might want to run a guy over more than A.J.
I don't have a problem with him. It's kind of like a QB. Sometimes I'd just as soon have him step out and make sure that he can come back the next play. I don't think he's scared or anything. Maybe it's wisdom rather than fear."

Kiffin just tells it like it is. Green is more dangerous, but Julio is more physical.

Kiffin's arrogance this week, nonchalantly calling out all these East teams while "innocently" praising Bama and its players, actually is friggin' mind-trippin' me big time. I keep feeling like he's extremely confident about the game Saturday....
Get out of my HEAD Kiffin!!

Coach Richt pretty much sums up my perspective. Green, as a WR in a struggling dawg offenses, has 5 times more yardage than Jones; he must be doing something right. Of course Bama really doesn't need to pass the ball when you have the running game they do.
