Georgia Dominates Tennessee Behind Beck's 347 Passing Yards
Georgia defeated Tennessee 31-17 in Week 12, with the Bulldogs controlling the game behind quarterback Carson Beck's efficient passing attack. Beck completed 347 passing yards to lead the effort, while Tennessee's Holden Staes paced the visitors with 9 receptions.
Tennessee struck early, scoring 10 points in the first quarter, but Georgia's defense stiffened as the home team took control. Georgia outscored Tennessee 17-7 in the second quarter to build a commanding lead heading into halftime. The Bulldogs' offensive success came through the air, with Beck connecting on several key plays including a 38-yard completion to Dominic Lovett in the first quarter and a 28-yard strike to London Humphreys in the fourth.
Georgia added 7 points in both the third and fourth quarters to seal the victory. Tennessee managed no points in the final two quarters, unable to mount a comeback against Georgia's defense. The game exceeded the 47-point over/under, and Georgia covered the 9.5-point spread as the home favorite. Chauncey Bowens led Georgia's ground game with 7 rushing attempts.
