It was over when... Arian Foster rushed for two touchdowns in the
game's final eight minutes. He increased the Vols' lead from five to 19
and put a close game out of reach.
Gameball goes to... Foster and
Erik Ainge. Foster finished the day with three TDs and 55 rushing
yards. Ainge orchestrated the Vols' comeback, tallying two TDs and 269
yards.
Stat of the game... 4: Turnovers tell the story; Georgia lost
possession four times, the Vols did not. The Dawgs controlled the ball
for the first half, but UT's defenders wore down Georgia's QBs.

ATHENS,
Ga. (AP) -- Erik Ainge and Tennessee shredded the nation's stingiest
defense, becoming just the second team to put up 50 points on Georgia
between the hedges.

Ainge threw for two touchdowns and ran for
another to lead the No. 13 Volunteers to a wild 51-33 victory Saturday
night that defied the norm in the defensive-minded Southeastern
Conference, which had three Top 10 teams lose on the day.

Arian
Foster scored three times for Tennessee (5-1, 1-1 SEC), all on 1-yard
runs. The Vols piled up 383 yards and 27 first downs, going a perfect
6-for-6 scoring TDs each time they got inside Georgia's 20.

The
10th-ranked Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1 SEC) went down to the same fate as No. 2
Auburn, knocked off by Arkansas 27-10, and No. 9 LSU, which lost 23-10
to fifth-ranked Florida. The Bulldogs hardly looked like a team that
was allowing a nation's-best 6.8 points per game -- only 34 all season.

Tennessee
scored more points than that in the second half, finishing with the
second-most ever by a visiting team at Sanford Stadium. Only Florida,
which won 52-17 in 1995 during the height of Steve Spurrier's Fun-n-Gun
offense, scored more points on the Bulldogs in Athens.

The Vols
couldn't afford another conference loss after falling to Florida in
their SEC opener three weeks ago. They sure looked in trouble when
Georgia raced to a 24-7 lead with less than five minutes to go in the
first half.

But Ainge put Tennessee ahead to stay in the opening
minute of the fourth quarter, hooking up with Robert Meachem on a
15-yard touchdown pass that made it 31-27. After Georgia was stuffed on
its next possession, freshman Antonio Wardlow blocked Gordon
Ely-Kelso's punt and fell on the ball in the corner of the end zone for
another TD.

The crowd of more than 92,000 was still recovering
from that blow when Thomas Brown found a seam up the middle and broke
off a 99-yard return for a touchdown -- Georgia's second return for a
TD in the game.

Mikey Henderson had an 86-yard punt return early in the second quarter, his second touchdown on a punt return this season.

It
wasn't nearly enough to save Georgia. Foster scored on a 1-yard run
with 8:15 remaining and did it again with 2:54 left to make it half a
hundred.

Ainge finished 25-of-38 for 268 yards. Meachem had seven receptions for 98 yards, while Bret Smith also caught seven for 94.

Joe
Tereshinski started at quarterback for Georgia, his first appearance
since going down with a severely sprained ankle in the season opener.

While
Tereshinski gave a bit of life to an offense that struggled in his
absence with freshmen Matthew Stafford and Joe Cox flip-flopping the
quarterback duties, it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the Tennessee
onslaught.

Tereshinski helped the Vols by throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble in the second half.

Georgia
was cruising when Brannan Southerland scored the second of his two
touchdowns with a leaping catch of an 8-yard pass from Joe T.

But
Ainge responded by directing an 11-play, 65-yard that ended with Foster
diving over from the 1 with just 50 seconds left in the half to make it
24-14.

Tennessee carried that momentum into the third quarter.
On Georgia's second offensive play, Antwan Stewart picked off a tipped
pass at the Bulldogs 19 to set up a 1-yard touchdown dive by Ainge.

After
the teams traded field goals, Georgia was still clinging to a 27-24
lead going to the final period. But the Bulldogs simply couldn't stop
Tennessee, even after Brown seemed to stem the tide with his kickoff
return.
