Texas Longhorns vs Georgia Bulldogs team news & key players
Texas Longhorns team news
Quinn Ewers made his return to the Longhorns lineup last week after missing two games due to an oblique injury. Although he showed signs of rust, with an interception on the opening drive and some off-target throws throughout the game, it ultimately didn't impact the outcome much. Texas relied on a strong ground game led by Tre Wisner and a dominant defensive performance to dismantle Oklahoma.
Ewers faces a stiffer challenge this week against Georgia, even though the Bulldogs have had their struggles. Quintrevion Wisner, Texas' sophomore running back, delivered one of his finest performances against the Sooners, rushing for 118 yards and a touchdown, despite losing a fumble. He will be counted on heavily again to help ease the pressure on Ewers as they take on Georgia’s defense.
Georgia Bulldogs team news
The case for Georgia in this matchup hinges more on their reputation than recent results. While the offense has been inconsistent and the defense not as overpowering as in previous seasons, Kirby Smart's squad is brimming with talent and experience. When they hit their stride, they can compete with any team in the nation. Carson Beck, one of the top quarterbacks in the country, showcased his talent when he led a second-half rally against Alabama and is coming off his best game of the season. In last week's win over Mississippi State, Beck threw for 459 yards and three touchdowns. So far this season, he has racked up 1,818 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, completing 67.9% of his passes.
Trevor Etienne has also been a key contributor for Georgia's offense, rushing for 335 yards and four touchdowns in six games. While Georgia's defense hasn't been the dominant force of recent years, it's still young, and there's potential for improvement as the season progresses.
