00:00It's 3.30 p.m. in the SEC.

00:02You are no stranger to having big football games

00:04and being involved with them in the SEC.

00:05And today we have one, Georgia and Tennessee.

00:07The opening number on this game was Georgia, Coach,

00:10as a seven-and-a-half-point favorite.

00:12That's down to three-and-a-half for most outlets here.

00:14What are we looking at today between Georgia and Tennessee on Rocky Top?

00:18Yeah, you know, from a coaching standpoint,

00:20this one is Josh Heupel versus Kirby Smart.

00:23Josh Heupel has won 23 out of 24 in Neyland Stadium.

00:26He's lost one to Georgia.

00:28He's lost to Georgia every time he's played them with Kirby Smart

00:32by 14 or more points.

00:34He knows how to beat Josh Heupel.

00:36Until Josh Heupel can figure out how to take on that defense,

00:40it's going to be Georgia's favorite.

00:42Now, I don't think Georgia's necessarily as good as some of those years.

00:45Not sure where Tennessee is, but I like Tennessee.

00:48But I think Georgia, until Josh Heupel can find a way

00:51to get a deep ball in against his two-deep coverage,

00:54can run the ball versus his personnel up front,

00:57it's going to be a Georgia win again.

00:59Coach, you played against Joey Aguilar when he was at App State.

01:03What does he bring this offense?

01:05Because if Tennessee's potentially going to win it,

01:08Aguilar needs a big performance today.

01:10What have you seen out of his play over the course of the years

01:13that potentially he might be an upgrade from Nico?

01:16Yeah, he threw a couple passes to put him in field goal range.

01:20They beat us on a final 52-yard field goal when I was at ULM.

01:24But you know what I saw as I stood on the field in pregame

01:27and watched him play, he had great accuracy.

01:31He had great accuracy.

01:33And Nico didn't have that ever.

01:34Nico was never a really strong, accurate quarterback.

01:38He's got great accuracy.

01:39And to beat Georgia, you've got to be extremely accurate

01:42because you're only going to have so many good throws.

01:45And you can't just run the ball.

01:46Tennessee, when they're really good, they can run and throw.

01:50And I don't necessarily think it's the deep ball that they need to get.

01:53In this game, he's got to hit the crossing route,

01:56the deep bend in, 18 yards deep.

01:59If he can be consistent there with their running attack

02:02and they can stop Georgia's run or slow it down

02:05and make that young quarterback win the game,

02:07then I think Tennessee does overcome that deficit they've had against Georgia.

02:12But in my mind, until I see it, I'm sticking with Georgia.
