The Tennessee Vols have received plenty of bulletin board material so far this season.
There was a Florida player saying he didn't view defending Tennessee's wide receivers as a challenge.
Then there was LSU head coach Brian Kelly saying he didn't feel like the Vols' offense could do much in terms of shifts or different formations because of their tempo.
We also saw former Tennessee linebacker Henry To'o To'o talk about going into Neyland and "making a few more plays" before saying "it's not personal, it's just business"
Most recently, Kentucky's players and coaches spent an entire week extolling the benefits of a Pro-Style offense. Wildcats quarterback Will Levis even insinuated that Tennessee doesn't play "real football".
The Vols took that comment personally.
Georgia's players this week, however, have avoided giving Tennessee any bulletin board material (aside from one defensive lineman who said he wasn't worried about UT's tempo — a slip that I'm sure Kirby Smart wasn't happy about).
Bulldogs wide receiver Kearis Jackson, in fact, gave the Vols the opposite of bulletin board material this week.
Jackson praised the Vols' defense for the way they "fly around" while also gushing over the black uniforms that Tennessee wore last week against Kentucky.
"They were looking good in that black flying around," said Jackson.
"It looked good how they were flying around. We just have to do a great job as an offense…Tennessee has a great defense. Like I said, they fly around and they get the ball out."
There's a lot of mutual respect between these two programs and that should make for a classic college football game on Saturday in Athens.
