Field position: even. Finishing drives: basically even. Gains: basically even. Line play: mostly even. In the end, Georgia was more efficient, Tennessee's big plays were a little bigger (especially in the passing game, with which Georgia continues to lag behind), and Tennessee's turnovers were more costly (and fumbles in the end zone tend to be more costly).

That about sum it up? This was a confusing game to watch ... it almost seems stranget that the stats spell it out so clearly.
