The KnoxTNToday Game Ball is back for Week 2, and this time there is another challenge waiting for our readers: Beat the Writers.
Tennessee travels to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Your challenge is simple: Predict the final score of Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech. The reader with the best prediction will win Dinner for Two at Aubrey’s and claim this week’s KnoxTNToday Game Ball recognition.
How to enter
Email your prediction to gameball@knoxtntoday.com before kickoff Saturday. Include your name, Tennessee’s final score and Georgia Tech’s final score.
An exact score wins. If no one predicts the exact final, the winner will be the entry with the smallest combined difference between the predicted scores and the actual scores. If needed, the first tiebreaker is the prediction closest to Tennessee’s actual score. A remaining tie will be decided by random selection.
