That second half was one of the most satisfying home game arse whoopings in a long time

Tennessee has been beating the "elite defense" drum all year long, and plenty of them were convinced that Georgia's offense was too incompetent to win this game. They had visions of their DL ruining Carson Beck's life. They missed some key components of that assumption. Like the fact that they had only played two road games. One was against an Oklahoma team with a gutted receiver corps, a patchwork OL, and a young qb having a horrible season. The other was against Arkansas, who gained 435 yds against Tennessee's elite defense. Six of their other 7 games were at Neyland stadium and gave their defense (and offense) a much more friendly environment in which to operate. And they glossed over their very easy 3 game OOC schedule, including a neutral site game against a completely inept NC St. team.

They also missed the fact that Georgia had played only 3 home games out of 9, which left a much tougher 6 game road/neutral schedule loaded with ranked teams and hostile stadium night games. In fact, lots of Georgia fans have missed that part too. So not only was Georgia's overall schedule much tougher than Tennessee's schedule, of the four common opponents (UK, UF, Alabama, MSU), Georgia played one at home while Tennessee played all four at home. Taken all together, it led to another year of self-delusion about their prospects of beating UGA.

Beck has looked most comfortable all season on play action (the little fake toss sweep thing). For whatever reason it gets him into rhythm and stands taller and looks more confident in the pocket.

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favourite tune
