Dawgs Continue to Build Momentum
Georgia continues to show its strength with big wins against Top-25-ranked SEC teams. The Bulldogs most recently destroyed Lane Kiffin’s Rebels 52-17.
The Bulldogs totaled 611 yards to the Rebels’ 352. Georgia’s defense held QB Jaxson Dart to 112 yards and 1 interception, his lowest totals of the year.
With players like Malaki Starks on the defensive end of the ball, it’s easy for the Bulldogs to hold teams to low amounts of points. Starks was named a Bronko Nagurski Trophy Finalist which is presented to the best defensive player in college football.

Georgia’s offense continues to roll behind the leadership of Carson Beck. Beck had another huge game against the Rebels with 306 yards passing on 18-25. Beck also amounted 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.
Ladd McConkey continues to be a main target for Beck with 81 yards and a touchdown against Ole Miss. Brock Bowers is back from injury and looks to regain a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball.
Volunteers Struggle Against Ranked SEC Opponents
Tennessee cannot seem to find enough offensive power against Top-25-ranked teams. The Volunteers most recently lost 36-7 to the Missouri Tigers.
Joe Milton III had a decent game for Tennessee with 267 passing yards and 1 touchdown. However, the Volunteers’ offense had a few errors with an interception late in the game and 2 fumbles lost.
Missouri’s offense swamped Tennessee on the ground and held the Vols to only 83 rushing yards. The Volunteers had to punt six times and went 5/13 on 3rd down. Tennessee has used the run game to help the passing game progress and will look to improve upon this against Georgia.
Tennessee needs to show up with a lot more firepower and better decision making against one of the best teams in the country.
Kickoff
The Volunteers look to be the first team to upset the undefeated Bulldogs this season alongside 102,000 fans in Neyland Stadium. Tennessee will face a serious test against this highly efficient Bulldogs team.

Kane Brown Transports Texas Crowd to Georgia With Soulful Ray Charles Cover at the 2024 ACM Awards
This year’s Academy of Country Music Awards took place in Frisco, TX, but for about three minutes, Kane Brown had the whole Ford Center at The Star audience transported to the Peach State with a performance of “Georgia On My Mind.”
Before taking the stage, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter was introduced by the War and Treaty’s Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, who pointed out Ray Charles’ role in popularizing the American Songbook classic, originally written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell. Prime Video cameras then panned to a dapper-looking Brown dressed in a black suit, whose silky voice melted into the microphone with support from a section of string instrumentalists.
“Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through,” he crooned. “Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Immediately afterwards, Brown — who released his cover of “Georgia On My Mind” on streaming services in April — stepped backstage for a one-on-one interview with Bobby Bones. “I was so scared,” he told the radio personality. “I was nervous, man. It’s a big song, but also, I’m used to running around. I didn’t have any moves, I just stood like this. I wish I had tequila before I went on.”
Brown is nominated for entertainer of the year at the 2024 awards, as are Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson. Hosted for the 17th time by Reba McEntire, the ACMs are produced by Dick Clark Productions.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk stated on Wednesday that Georgia’s newly passed foreign agents bill “undermines the freedoms of expression and association.”
Türk mentioned his concern regarding the possible effects of this bill being signed by the President of Georgia: “The ability of associations to seek, secure and use resources is essential to their effective operation. This overbroad law risks these organisations being labelled and stigmatised, and having to face an atmosphere of mistrust, fear and hostility.”
This bill stipulates that NGOs and media organizations receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad must be formally registered as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power.” This, according to Türk, will undermine and curtail the rights of freedom of expression and association in Georgia. UN human rights organs argue that Georgian lawmakers have disregarded the warnings of human rights defenders and civil society organizations. This is considering the same bill was withdrawn in March 2023, and government officials and parliamentarians assured UN organs that the draft would not be reintroduced.
The foreign agents bill, entitled the “Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence” still needs the signature of Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili, who vowed during a CNN interview to veto it. However, the ruling party has a majority in parliament and can override the president’s veto to enact the legislation.
