KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has predicted Tennessee will beat Georgia when the teams meet on Saturday in Neyland Stadium.
“Kirby Smart called me this week,” Kiffin said while serving as the guest picker on ESPN GameDay. “He said, ‘We’ve got to go play at Tennessee. What’s it like going to Neyland Stadium?’ I said, ‘It’s a very dangerous place to play.’

“But I will say this: in the biggest upset of the day: Tennessee Volunteers.”
Kiffin was head coach at Tennessee in 2009. Kiffin went 7-6 at UT, leaving the program under the cloud of an NCAA investigation that carried through the tenure of Derek Dooley, who replaced him.
Kiffin returned to Neyland Stadium earlier this season after trolling the Vols’ fanbase on Twitter in the week leading up to the game, fan chaos ensued late in a tight contest.
The upset pick may be Kiffin’s way to trying to make up with the Tennessee fans.
Georgia is a 20-point favorite to beat Tennessee (3:30 p.m., CBS).

Tim Tebow take
Tebow said on SEC Nation on Saturday morning the key is for Tennessee to have early success.
“Make Georgia feel uncomfortable,” Tebow said. “No one really this year has made Georgia feel uncomfortable because they’ve played Georgia style of football: Get a lead, ground and pound, great defense, put the pressure on the other team.
“But what happens if Tennessee can put pressure on Georgia?”
Former NFL and Alabama safety Roman Harper said the same thing.
“It has to start early for Tennessee,” Harper said. “They have to have some things go really well for them.
“That means big plays offensively, explosiveness, and if they can force a turnover or make Georgia feel uncomfortable at any point in time in this first half, then we’ll see what this Georgia team really can be.”
