After winning three home games and one at a neutral site in nearby Bristol, the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers go on the road for the first time this season to start off October.The Volunteers visit Georgia to take on the No. 25 Bulldogs at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday (ESPN) at Sanford Stadium in Athens.Tennessee will be looking to carry over the momentum gained from its second-half comeback in a 38-28 win over Florida last week while the Bulldogs are hoping to get the pieces back together from the 45-14 thrashing they took from Ole Miss.The silver lining is you get another opportunity to play a good team this week, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said. The opportunity that we have looking forward is what were fired up about.I mean, the best thing we can do is look forward and continue to develop our players to get better. My end goal is for each guy to play his best game this game. Thats what we want.Coming off a 28-27 win at Missouri that ran their record to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the SEC, the Bulldogs never got their game going at Ole Miss until the issue was long decided. The Rebels led 31-0 at the halftime break and stretched their lead to 45-0 before the Dogs got a touchdown late in the third quarter and another in the fourth.There was little to take out of that, but Smart did the best he could.It was important to them to get the backs in there, and the backs ran hard, Smart said. I think that part was really what I wanted to see out of them, was no quit, fight your tail off, and keep battling.As far as momentum, I wouldnt say it created any momentum.Quarterback Jacob Eason, who engineered the comeback against Missouri, played more like the freshman he is at Ole Miss. He threw for 303 yards and three scores, but was completed only 16 of 36 attempts.Of concern now is the condition of tailback Nick Chubbs ankle. He had only 57 yards on 12 carries against the Rebels.Hes going to continue to rehab really hard, Smart said. Were obviously hopeful hell be able to do something, but we wont know more until later in the week. But it is an ankle injury.For a while, it seemed as if Tennessee was bound for the same kind of day as the Bulldogs when the Volunteers fell behind Florida 21-3 at the half. But Tennessee came roaring out of the locker room in the third quarter, scoring 28 points in a little more than four minutes, and ran off 35 consecutive points before the Gators managed a late score to cut the final margin to 10 points.The comeback not only snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Gators but confirmed the Volunteers as a the favorite in the SEC East, a distinction they can solidify with a win over the Bulldogs.I was very proud of the way our kids competed, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. I thought they competed even in the first half. I thought we competed for 60 minutes. We had some individuals really step up and play winning football for us.Since going 26-of-48 passing for 283 yards and four touchdowns in wins over Appalachian State at home and Virginia Tech in Bristol, quarterback Joshua Dobbs has gone 35 for 59 for 522 yards and six scores in wins over Ohio and Florida. He passed for three touchdowns and ran for two in last years 38-31 win over the Bulldogs.After hosting the Volunteers, the Bulldogs go to South Carolina and get Vanderbilt at home before getting an open date before their Oct. 29 game against Florida.Tennessee the unenviable task of going to Texas A&M and hosting Alabama the next two weeks, which puts even more emphasis on this weeks encounter.As we know, its a week-to-week season, Jones said.

Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN.CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Replay officials both on-site and in the Atlantic Coast Conferences office were not shown an angle that likely would have overturned a North Carolina touchdown in last weekends game against Miami.The first-quarter touchdown catch by North Carolinas Austin Proehl gave the Tar Heels a 10-0 lead, on the way to what became a 20-13 victory.The feed that proved that that should not have been a touchdown wasnt given to the league office, Miami coach Mark Richt told The Associated Press on Tuesday.An ACC spokesman confirmed that replay officials were not shown the angle that would have provided a view of the ball bouncing off Proehls chest. The angle was shown on the ESPN broadcast when the first quarter ended, long after the review was completed.Richt asked the ACC for clarity about the call, after the Hurricanes thought replays suggested that Proehl was stull juggling the ball when he was hit by Miami linebacker Shaquille Quarterman and stepped out of the back of the end zone. Proehl came down with the ball but was out of bounds.Quarterman said Tuesday that he saw Proehl juggle the ball.Yes sir, I did, I did, Quarterman said. I saw it get juggled the first time and I didnt think his foot was in, so when the ref said his foot was in ... Im just a player. I had nothing to do with the refs calls and things like that.Proehls catch was immediately signaled a touchdown by back judge Pat Ryan. It was reviewed, as is customary, though replays shown on the broadcast suggested the only question about the play was whether Proehl managed to keep a foot inbounds when the ball arrived -- which he clearly did.None of the replays shown immediately after the score showed the ball bouncinng off Proehls chest, though one -- from the back -- did indicate that the ball was moving.ddddddddddddIts a shame that the feed that was available wasnt made available, Richt said.It was the second straight week that a debated touchdown decision in a close game did not go Miamis way. Running back Mark Walton had a touchdown called back against Florida State two weeks ago on a holding call well away from the play, in what finished as a 20-19 Miami loss.Its the game of football, Walton said. Things happen like that. Bad calls, good calls, youve just got to move on.Miami (4-2, 1-2) plays at Virginia Tech (4-2, 2-1) on Thursday night in a critical ACC Coastal game for both teams.Its impossible to say how the Miami-North Carolina game would have changed if Proehls touchdown didnt count. North Carolina likely would have tried what would have been a high-percentage 22-yard field goal if the short third-down pass was deemed incomplete, and the Tar Heels had another excellent chance for points when they ran out the clock deep in Miami territory to end the game.Walton was at the center of a hotly debated play last season where Miami used an eight-lateral kickoff return as time expired to beat Duke, a play that led to the ACC suspending officials for two games for botching calls on the field and during the review process.The ACC now uses a collaborative replay system, meaning the replay official at each stadium gets assistance from those watching in the league office in Greensboro, North Carolina.---Online:The APs college football website: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
