Tailback Caleb King suffered a broken jaw during Saturday’s loss to LSU and is doubtful for this week’s game against Tennessee. It is described as a clean break and should heal in four weeks.

The SEC head of officials stated today what most everyone knew Saturday, that the unsportsmanship call against A.J. Green following the touchdown was a bad call and should not have been made.

I would be willing to travel back to Athens and return to my seat if we can kickoff again and play that last minute over.

For the first time since 1937, the Dawgs and Tennessee will meet when neither team is ranked in the AP or USA Today Coaches top 25.

The Dawgs and Volunteers have met 38 times (25 times since the 1937 game) and only started meeting annually since 1992. UT leads the series 20-16-2, but the Dawgs have won three out of the last four games at Neyland Stadium.

The Dawgs posted a 26-14 win over the Volunteers in Athens last year while Tennessee won 35-14 in Knoxville in 2007 that included a 28-0 halftime lead by the Volunteers.
