More "standard" offenses can switch between offensive approaches more easily. UGA can bring in 2 TE and go power-I if the other team is too easily stopping the run, or spread it out if that is what is called for because of matchups. UT seems to be unable to run their offense if the opponent can stop the run without bringing extra guys into the box and they don't seem to have anything they can change to rectify that.
Last year, Georgia had 15 5-star and 53 4-star players...
Tennessee had 2 5-star and 23 4-star players. It's amazing how much more flexible your schemes can become when you have significantly more talent than your opponent.
"UGA can bring in 2 TE and go Power I" because they have 4 4-star players that play the TE/H-Back Position. Tennessee has 2 4-star Tight Ends...both true Freshmen. Still...only one team kept UT under 34 points last season...and (as pointed out earlier) that team had significantly better talent across the board.

Our starting offensive line last season was a 5 star left tackle, low 4 star LG, high 4 star C, high 4 star RG, and low 4 star RT. Our 6th man was a 3 star (RIP#77) who was virtually a mid game platoon
We were talented enough to run any offensive blocking scheme at OL with high execution (inside zone, outside zone, counter-power, screen game).
That isn't common. And we did it with 1 five star.
