Georgia vs Texas team news & key players
Georgia Bulldogs team news
Carson Beck entered the season as one of the most heralded returning quarterbacks in college football. Leading all returning FBS signal-callers with 3,949 passing yards in 2023, Beck also posted an impressive 91.5 PFF offensive grade. He opened the year as a Heisman Trophy favorite with 4-to-1 odds but has faced a challenging stretch lately.
Over the past four games, Beck has thrown nine interceptions, bringing his season total to 12. Despite these struggles, the senior quarterback has still thrown 28 touchdowns—fifth most among Power Five quarterbacks—and maintained an 82.4 PFF offensive grade. However, his performance under pressure has been worrisome, with a 32nd-percentile passing grade and just a 38.5% completion rate when facing the heat.
Texas Longhorns team news
The Longhorns are fueled by one of the most potent offenses in the nation, averaging an impressive 34.8 points per game, ranking 21st nationally.
Texas also boasts a deep and talented quarterback group featuring starter Quinn Ewers and highly-touted backup Arch Manning. Ewers has been effective, completing 67.2% of his passes for 2,303 yards and maintaining a 24-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Ewers' 7.2 air yards per target, ranking 92nd out of 93 qualifying quarterbacks, highlights a conservative passing approach—likely reflective of Sarkisian's trust in his elite defense.
On the defensive end, Texas has been nothing short of dominant. The Longhorns allow just 11.67 points per game, the second-best mark in college football. Their ability to stifle the run has been equally remarkable, ranking 12th nationally by limiting opponents to just 103.5 rushing yards per game. Head coach Steve Sarkisian has built a well-rounded squad capable of excelling on both sides of the ball.
