On paper does UGa have a lot more talent than the Vols?

I just feel UGa will be physical and try to run it down our throats. They didn't bury Austin Peay. It will be the best chance to beat them we've had in a few years.

I wouldn't say a lot more.  They have more, but the gap has narrowed considerably.

The major question is....can we stop the damn TE they've killed us with for the past decade plus? Specifically the flipping seam route.

And set the edge--we have given up several "bounce outs" by the DE crashing down and no LB or DB filling.

What's up with all this irrational exuberance?
It's not healthy for y'all to believe in this fairy tale every year.  Eventually, you just have to outgrow it.
The talent gap isn't really getting smaller.  Look to the 2025 Blue Chip Ratio:  UGA 84%, UTk 54%.  Proportionally speaking, that's about right.  And pretty much the way its been. 

I don't know who UTk beat last weekend, but it wasn't UGA.  Looking forward to my return trip to Sanford North this Saturday.

After this game, I wish the Vols well and hope y'all beat Bama and UF.

In the past, the ratio was worse than that. We have worked the portal pretty well. It is in Neyland.    ESPN analytics actually has the Vols a slight favorite. I guess we will find out soon enough.

We've had issues with that for years....Seen it already in the past 2 game. The first rule of coaching TEs....you never...ever...never let them get to your outside arm.....Keep your damn outside arm free and never get suck in.
