Kirby Smart and Georgia defeated Tennessee 31-17 on Saturday night in Athens to earn a much-needed victory for its CFP résumé. It was a huge win for the Bulldogs on a number of fronts. In addition to this result having serious CFP implications, it was a big performance for Georgia’s confidence going forward.

Dawgs Central’s Graham Coffey believes Georgia QB Carson Beck and OC Mike Bobo had their legacies on the line, and delivered, during the Bulldogs’ dominant 31-17 win over Tennessee in college football’s Week 12.

No. 12 Georgia survived a challenge from No. 7 Tennessee 31-17 to stay alive in the College Football Playoff race. After Tennessee went up 10-0 in the first quarter, Georgia went on a 31-7 run over the final three quarters to pull away and beat the Volunteers.
