re: Raiola seems legit, remarkable for a true freshman,

Why would he come to UGA and sit behind Beck when he could walk in as a starter somewhere else?

Why would he commit to UGA to begin with, stay committed until three days before signing day and essentially screw Georgia's chances of getting two HS qb's in the 2024 class like Kirby wanted? If he's halfway smart, he always knew he was wasn't likely to jump three upperclassmen qb's with a multi-year head start.

As for his potential, any qb with an obviously good arm has potential. Potential meets reality when they have a good mind for the position and spend time learning their trade. Raiola may get there, but these 4 games aren't proof of anything because the investment of time and hard work are still ahead of him, IMO.

He’s a talented quarterback but his emulation of Mahomes is weird.

Same QB coach, and I think it's his favorite player.

Tennessee looks average on offense. A quality QB with good WRs will have a field day. Defense looks good.

Their numbers on both sides have been inflated by playing horrible opponents in their first 3 games, but they were missing an offensive tackle today and the other one got hurt during the game. Would've been costly if OU's offense wasn't too abominable to take advantage of what their defense was giving them.

Tennessee's defensive line has 6 super seniors, so plenty of experience and depth there. But the linebackers and secondary are not a strong point IMO. They lost almost their entire defensive secondary production from 2023. If they ever face a decent passing team that can pick up a a blitz, that defensive back end can be exploited IMO.
