Buck's Beat

The stage is set for Georgia’s first true test of the season — a trip to Knoxville to face a hot and motivated Tennessee team. Buck Belue breaks down why this matchup feels like 1980 all over again. * UGA’s offensive line is banged up, while the Vols are down their top two corners. Expect Georgia to attack the freshman corner early and often. * Nate Frazier needs 15+ carries — the Dawgs must run the damn ball. * Zachariah Branch could be the X-factor in this one with his playmaking ability. * Gunner Stockton has to cut it loose, just like Buck did back in 1980 against the Vols. * Tennessee will spread the field — KJ Bolden’s communication in the secondary will be critical to keeping the defense sound. * And if it comes down to special teams, Georgia has the edge. All that and more as Buck sets the scene for a classic SEC showdown in Knoxville. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

On this episode of Buck’s Beat, Buck Belue breaks down the Falcons’ heartbreaking season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Positives: 🏈 Rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. looked legit — showing outstanding pocket presence, mobility when needed, and a clutch gene that gives fans hope. 🤝 Kyle Pitts is starting to build real chemistry with Penix. 💪 Tyler Allgeier ran hard and effectively. ✅ Elijah Wilkinson held his own in a tough spot on the line. 🔒 Defensively, rookies Billy Bowman Jr. and Xavier Watts impressed in their first NFL starts. The Negatives: ⚠️ GM Terry Fontenot has left way too many holes on this roster — center, OT, WR2, DL, and CB2 all need upgrades. ❓ What are the Falcons doing with first-round pick Jalen Walker? Buck says they must put him in a better position to succeed. 📉 Both coordinators get a failing grade for Week 1. 🚫 Mike Hughes was exposed again at CB2. 😬 Younghoe Koo’s missed kick to tie it at the end was tough — but Buck says that’s not why Atlanta lost. 📺 Buck calls it like he sees it: the Falcons have talent, but glaring roster holes and bad coaching decisions cost them the game.
