In an underwhelming offensive display in the week two win over Austin Peay, Georgia Bulldogs QB Gunner Stockton averaged just 6.7 yards per attempt and 8.7 yards per completions, showcasing the Governors decision to allow short throws without getting beat deep, but Radi Nabulsi of UGASports.com expects the Tennessee Volunteers to challenge Stockton differently.
"Last week people got bent out of shape. I was watching cornerbacks play 14 yards off the ball. I don't care what I've got called down the field, if I've got Colbie Young with a corner playing off, I'm going to keep doing that until you stop," says Radi Nabulsi. "Teams are going to crowd the box to take away the run, you've got to back them out of there. You've got safeties playing side-by-side with linebackers, make them play honest. Spread them out and give them some deep routes. I know it can be done and I think it's vital to the game-plan."
Through two games Tennessee is allowing 220.5 passing yards per game and just 76 yards per game rushing, so it would be wise for the Dawgs to find success passing early to potentially find some holes later in the run game.
