Tennessee Volunteers connected with Georgia Bulldogs heading into halftime

Tennessee and Georgia head straight into halftime after action in the first half.

The Tennessee Volunteers and Georgia Bulldogs finally kicked off and quickly got through a full half. The Vols are tied with the Bulldogs 17-17.

On the first drive of the game, we saw Georgia make two deep shots with two big plays from the defensive backs for the Vols that would force a punt. After the kick, the Vols would pick apart the Bulldogs defense before Nico Iamaleava would hand the ball off to Miles Kitselman, who jumped the line to get into the end zone.

Tennessee and Georgia would duke it out before a huge return from freshman Boo Carter put the Vols back within striking distance. The Volunteers would later be forced to kick the field goal, which would be 52 yards to Max Gilbert, who has shown difficulty in recent games aside from the Mississippi State game. Gilbert would split the uprights to score his longest field goal of his college career.

Georgia would catch Tennessee offside and take a deep shot on Lovett and get much more than a simple penalty, which would put them in scoring position. They would score a touchdown on a great pass from Beck. This would happen again as Beck would get his second passing touchdown of the game later in the quarter.

Tennessee would have one last chance to score before the half was over. They would realize a fourth deficit late in the stage. The Vols would head into the two-minute warning with scoring points on their minds. Dylan Sampson would find the end zone and take the lead.

Georgia would look to add some points and they would start big with a huge pass to Oscar Delp. Delp would get the Bulldogs into midfield. Georgia would get within field goal range with just over 50 seconds left. Beck would make a designed QB run on 3rd and 2 to get the first down. a flag would be thrown on the next play that would be held.

Georgia would take a shot and hold the defense, making it easier for the Bulldogs to score. Beck would throw to Jermod McCoy again, just one play away from his holding call, and nearly intercept the Bulldogs QB. Georgia would be forced to attempt a field goal and they practiced doing so to tie the game.

Tennessee can start the second half.
