“Had you told me I was gonna take Tennessee in the preseason, I would have said, ‘you’re crazy,'” Neuheisel began. “But having watched a couple of weeks, I’m still concerned about Georgia. They played Marshall, and they played Austin Peay. And yet, they’re still averaging only 214 yards per game rushing… I’m wondering what’s wrong.”

Conversely, Neuheisel has no such qualms with Tennessee. When you add in the fact that Bulldog quarterback Gunnar Stockton will be playing in his first openly hostile environment once the schools are on the gridiron, he’s smelling an upset.

“Gunnar Stockton is now going on the road for the first time. He has played in some neutral sites… but that’s largely a Georgia crowd,” Neuheisel said. “I just feel like Tennessee — when I watched those highlights, that looked more like a Georgia defense than the Georgia defense has looked this far. Maybe I’m wrong… but I’m gonna go with Tennessee.”
