ATHENS, Ga. -- Will somebody kick the drawing board over and burn it, please?

The voices sound different but their messages are all the same around the postgame press conference at Sanford Stadium following Georgia's 26-14 win over Tennessee.

"We're going to go back to work this week and try to get better."

You might as well toss out a rubber stamp to the coaches and players before they head out to face the microphones.

Truth be told, few of them have any answers for what's going on. There are more than enough shoulder shrugs and confused looks. Everyone says practice is going great. There aren't any injuries to any key players. Coaches are getting along. There's no dissension.

What it comes down to is an simple inability to execute.

A ground game that used to be a trademark of Volunteer football yielded one first down and 1 net yard total. They piled up 10 penalties for 97 yards, including some calls that could have gone either way that came at the most inopportune times.

Personal foul penalties on Demetrice Morley and DeAngelo Willingham with less than two minutes to go in the first half helped push the Bulldogs toward a momentum swinging touchdown 9 seconds prior to halftime.

"If you get a personal foul penalty, that's usually a loss of composure," UT coach Phillip Fulmer said. "I think the frustration of the season is showing through. Being competitive versus being stupid ... that's part of it."

It didn't get any better from there.

Georgia dominated time possession 42:04-17:12.

The numbers that stick out most of all: 2-4 and 0-3.

It's tough to go back to work with that in the back of your mind.
