ATHENS - Number Six Georgia hopes to build on its best start in 20 years when tenth-ranked Tennessee visits Sanford Stadium Saturday. <br>
<br>
Tennessee comes in as the underdog in need of a road victory. The Volunteers have already lost to Florida. They can't afford to fall two games back in the East division of the Southeastern Conference if they want to keep any hope of league championship. <br>
<br>
Injuries have weakened Tennessee. Quarterback Casey Clausen has not practiced all week after hurting his left, non-throwing shoulder in the win against Arkansas. <br>
<br>
If Clausen's out, the Vols would likely turn to junior C.J. Leak, who last started a game at Wake Forest in 2000. He severely injured his knee that season, then transferred to Tennessee. <br>
<br>
The other option is for receiver Kelley Washington to take over at QB. The Bulldogs would probably prefer to him in the Tennessee backfield rather than lining up at receiver. <br>
<br>
He missed the first two games with a sore knee, but has three straight 100-yard games since returning to the lineup.
