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&#39;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&#39;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.
