Kirby Smart Previews Matchup with Tennessee, Highlights Concerns with Hooker and Offense

Georgia has their hands full on Saturday afternoon when the No. 2 ranked Tennessee Voltuneers come to town. Kirby Smart highlights the concerns with facing them.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart met with the media as he typically does on Monday afternoons following a Georgia football game. This time though, it was ahead of arguably the biggest regular season game in Georgia history. 

For the first time in the school's history, the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams will face off inside of Sanford stadium. In fact, it's just the third time in the conference's history the two top-ranked teams have faced off. 

So, what makes Tennessee so dangerous? Well, it obviously starts with their high-powered and explosive offense. They lead the nation in yards per game (553), they lead the nation in total touchdowns (52), and they are 124th in time of possession. What does that tell you? Well, this football team is scoring points and doing so at an extremely fast rate. 

Smart highlighted the concerns with facing this football team and much more in his press conference below.
