Jaxson Moi injury update: Latest on Tennessee DL's status vs. Georgia revealed on availability report

One of the marquee games of college football’s week three slate will see No. 6 Georgia traveling to No. 15 Tennessee for a top-15 clash between SEC foes. This matchup is extremely important for both programs. The Bulldogs look to show the college football world that they haven’t gone anywhere as a top team in the sport, while Tennessee looks to get over the bump in its road known as Georgia.

Georgia has won eight consecutive games over Tennessee, dating back to the 2017 season. The Bulldogs have won 13 of the last 15 meetings, with that number potentially being 14 had the Volunteers not stolen the 2016 game thanks to Josh Dobbs‘ game-winning Hail Mary to Jauan Jennings.

Ahead of Saturday’s game, the SEC released a new league availability report Friday. Here’s where both teams stand.

No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs

TE Ethan Barbour – Out
OLB Chase Linton – Out
WR Thomas Blackshear – Out
OL Juan Gaston – Questionable
OL Earnest Greene — Probable

No. 15 Tennessee Volunteers

DB Rickey Gibson III – Out
DL Daevin Hobbs – Out
DB Jermod McCoy – Out
RB Hunter Barnes – Out
DL Jaxson Moi – Doubtful
OL David Sanders – Questionable
DL Tyree Weathersby – Questionable

Tennessee will present itself as Georgia‘s first challenging game of the season, as the Bulldogs opened against Marshall and Austin Peay. Although Georgia won those two games by an average of 30 points per game, it didn’t quite look dominant. The Volunteers however have opened their season with a 45-26 win over Syracuse and a 72-17 beatdown of East Tennessee State and seen more than warmed up for this challenge.

“Both of these teams have great players,” ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit said on Friday morning’s edition of ‘Get Up‘. “That’s what’s so great about a matchup like this earlier in the year. Both of these teams are going to give you an opportunity to give you a litmus test of just where they are. We’ll find out who’s ready to compete with the big boys, not just in the SEC, but in the entire country.”

Herbstreit, along with the rest of the ESPN College GameDay crew, will be live from Knoxville Saturday morning.

Tennessee’s offense and Georgia’s defense are among best in SEC

Through two games, the Tennessee offense is averaging 605 yards (1st in SEC) and 58.5 points (1st in SEC). Georgia’s defense meanwhile is allowing just 201.5 yards (2nd in SEC) and 6.5 points (1st in SEC). The meeting of that Volunteer offense and Georgia‘s stifling defense is sure to make for a classic in Knoxville on Saturday.

Kick-off between No. 6 Georgia and No. 15 Tennessee on Saturday is scheduled for 3:30 PM ET on ABC. The Bulldogs are -4 on the spread, according to BetMGM.
