INJURY REPORT MAKES SATURDAY SCARY
Going to Knoxville is never as easy experience. Although it seems like forever, it really has been a short period of disappointing seasons for the Volunteers. Anyone my age still knows what it`s like to witness defeat every year from the likes of these guys. If you don`t believe me, just look at the scores from the 90`s. Tennessee sat on a perch all its own and as much I have enjoyed seeing Georgia settle the score this decade, I know it`s only temporary before the echoes of Rocky Top are ringing in the ears of every citizen within a 300 miles radius of Neyland Stadium. Based on the way Tennesse has played in 2009, I was beginning to feel more comfortable about a Georgia road win until I heard about the injury bug.

Four key players for the Dawgs will not make play on Saturday and that could be the equalizer in this game. Caleb King, Tavarres King, Marcus Dowtin, and Akeem Dent`s absence will be felt heavily in Knoxville this weekend, and the game may possibly turn in the Vols favor, as a result. Not only are they favored to win by 1 on Saturday, but Tennessee has a good enough defense to keep a game close for 60 minutes. Losing four players of this caliber will make our depth chart thin and that will become an issue if the game is close like last week. For all of the underachievements, bad plays, and miscues, all four of these players have done very positive things for this year`s team. Losing these players for this weekend`s game against 110 thousand fans, could be another crushing defeat for the Dawgs. I`m hoping Georgia will hunker down in this one and get the victory. If not, Georgia fans will know the words to Rocky Top by the end of the game.

I agree that Tennessee will not be a push over. They scare me too from the standpoint that they are desperate for Kiffin`s first SEC victory. There`s still a ton of talent in Knoxville, so I`m very nervous.

The linebacking corp has me concerned. Nothing more really needs to be said about Curran, but he`s only 1/3 of the equation. Gamble is solid and Dewberry has been better than his past would suggest, but we really need some young guys to step up. Washington bounced to DE and back, but hopefully he can turn in a solid performance in the middle. And, it`s time to see if Akeem Hebron, Christian Robinson, Charles White (are these guys hurt though?) and Michael Gilliard are ready for primetime.

The WR situation is strange to me. I know we are short on numbers, but we have gotten GREAT play from our top guys. Losing TKing definitely hurts, but I`m curious about the almost complete absence of Troupe. I was expecting him to be more involved, but that hasn`t happenned. At least 1 of Troupe and Marlon Brown will see an increased role this weekend, and it`ll be interesting to see if 1 gets more PT than the other. I do think that the depth issue at WR will force more balls to the TE`s in this game...especially if Tennessee continues their 2009 tendency to walk Eric Berry up into the box.

Samuel starts. Ealey leads the team in carries and yards for the game.
