    The No. 12-ranked Georgia football team got key contributions from veteran starters, freshman backups and everything in between in the Bulldogs’ 31-17 win over No. 7 Tennessee in front of a sellout crowd of 93,033 at Sanford Stadium on Saturday night.

    The win was the Bulldogs’ eighth in a row over the Volunteers, who went ahead 10-0 in the first quarter and were outscored 31-7 the rest of the way. Quarterback Carson Beck paced the Bulldogs offense with 347 yards passing, throwing a pair of first-half touchdown passes to tight end Oscar Delp and running for the go-ahead score in the third quarter. Beck completed passes to 10 different receivers, with tight ends Ben Yurosek and Delp combining for nine receptions for 106 yards.
