Last year, Tennessee topped Georgia in Athens on the "Dobbs-nail Boot" Hail Mary for the ages. At the time, it seemed like the Vols were headed toward the SEC East title. My, how things have changed.

The Bulldogs dominated the Vols 41-0 in front of more than 100,000 at Tennessee's Neyland Stadium in a game that was even more lopsided than the blowout score indicated. Now at 5-0 and 2-0 in the SEC, the No. 7 Bulldogs are on the fast track toward the SEC East title while the 3-2 (0-2 SEC) Volunteers are left searching for answers with enough turmoil surrounding embattled coach Butch Jones to fill the Tennessee River.

What did we learn from this year's edition of the rivalry?

1. Georgia is as much of a contender as anybody in the SEC: What more do you want Georgia to prove in order to solidify its status as a bonafide SEC power? There's nothing left to prove. True freshman quarterback Jake Fromm went on the road to beat Notre Dame in his first career start, steadily expanded the playbook in the middle of September and earned the trust of the coaching staff on the road in a hostile environment Saturday afternoon. Fromm threw a touchdown, rushed for two more and was asked to make several clutch throws across the field on critical third downs throughout the game. 

Running backs Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and D'Andre Swift combined for 209 yards against Tennessee defense that was doing all it could to stay in the game, and the Bulldogs' defense forced four turnovers in a stifling performance that showed off its depth, athleticism and discipline. Just how good was the defense? It held Tennessee to just seven first downs and 142 total yards

The offensive line has responded well to early criticism, weapons like Terry Godwin and Isaac Nauta have developed into threats and the team has the attitude of a champion. Georgia has answered all of its offseason questions with flying colors and shows no signs of letting up. No other team in the SEC has answered as many questions as the Bulldogs -- not even Alabama (which, admittedly, hasn't been put in position to answer its most pressing question -- throwing downfield when it has to). 

Let's stop referring to Georgia has "Alabama's primary threat in the SEC." It's not. It's a bonafide, legitimate, real life College Football Playoff contender that's as threatening as any team in the country. Yes, even Alabama.

2. It's Fromm's job for good: Fromm didn't have to do too much in the win. He completed 7-of-15 passes for 84 yards, before giving way to former starter Jacob Eason, who returned to action in mop-up duty after injuring his knee in the first quarter of the season-opener. Don't be fooled by the rather pedestrian stats from Fromm. On the road in the SEC, there was no need for offensive coordinator Jim Chaney to open things up after the first few series of the game, which relegated Fromm to "game manager" status. In true Fromm fashion, he even did that well.

Eason was a five-star prospect a couple of recruiting cycles ago, but this is Fromm's team now. The offense has developed balance, he's hitting receivers deep downfield and even showed off his running ability at times in the romp on Rocky Top. 

Who says you can't lose your job to injury? Drew Bledsoe did. Wally Pipp did, too. That's not to say that Fromm is comparable to Tom Brady or Lou Gehrig, but he's playing too good to bench right now.

3. Tennessee's problems are bigger than Butch Jones: It's not a matter of if, but when. Jones -- now in his fifth year with the Volunteers -- has solidified himself on the hottest seat in America. While Tennessee's problems will be (justifiably) placed on him, it's also on the entire offensive staff. Outside of running back John Kelly, there is no identity at all to this offense. Quarterback Quinten Doramdy has had happy feet all season, the offensive line has been average-at-best, and the wide receiving corps sorely misses Jauan Jennings. 

With the kind of talent that Tennessee as accumulated over the last four years, there's no reason to be that devoid of difference-makers to the point where handing to Kelly is always your best option -- even in the midst of a blowout. But yes, as my colleague Tom Fornelli noted after the game, Jones is a dead coach walking.
