Georgia football plays its home opener today in a Sanford Stadium with an expected capacity crowd now that's ticked up to 93,033 after completing $68.5 million in renovations.

Kirby Smart's imprint on his team, led by quarterback Carson Beck, comes through when players talk about their mindset heading into games.

Even if the opponent is Tennessee Tech, an FCS program picked to finish seventh in the nine-team Big South-OVC.

"It's really the same vibe every week," Georgia inside linebacker Raylen Wilson said. "We're going in there to beat somebody for four quarters. We don't really look at the team we're playing, It's really about us being better than we were last week."

Georgia relied on several newcomers last week who will make their home debuts including freshman safety KJ Bolden, freshman running back Nate Frazier and transfer wide receivers Colbie Young and London Humphreys.

Georgia 70, Tennessee Tech 3.

Georgia steps down in competition to play an FCS program that put a scare into Middle Tennessee last week before falling short. The Bulldogs' stout schedule means this may be one of the few chances this season for plenty of backups to see significant playing time.

Game lines and odds from BetMGM as of Thursday:

Georgia: DE/OLB Mykel Williams (ankle, out), DL Warren Brinson (calf, doubtful), DB Joenel Aguero (soft tissue, questionable), DL Jordan Hall (legs, out), DL Xzavier McCleod (undisclosed, out), RB Roderick Robinson (toe, out). Tennessee Tech: QB Dylan Laible (arm, out).

The forecast calls for a high of 85 degrees with a 24 percent chance of rain, according to weather.com.
