Texas ought to really feel lucky to be down solely 14-3.

The Dawgs additionally got here up with a turnover however didn’t capitalize.
Georgia will get the ball first to start out the second half, so if Gunner Stockton and Co. can put collectively an prolonged landing drive like they did to start out the sport, it may possibly actually put Texas in a foul spot.

Halftime – Texas 14, Georgia 3
An enormous hat-tip to the Longhorns protection for conserving them within the recreation.
But it surely gained’t matter if Arch Manning and the Texas offense can’t get something going. Acceptable ending to that first half as Manning is sacked nicely behind the road of scrimmage.
Q2 0:35 – Georgia 14, Texas 3
Texas blows up a jet-sweep energy learn on third-and-4, tackling Gunner Stockton behind the road of scrimmage. Arch Manning and Texas will get the ball again for a determined final gasp earlier than halftime…
An enormous cause Georgia is forward is it’s taking part in rather a lot cleaner. Coming into the two-minute timeout of the primary half, Texas has seven penalties for 43 yards, Georgia has zero. Texas has additionally had a pair drops and the sport’s solely turnover, an Arch Manning interception.
Q2 2:00 – Georgia 14, Texas 3
No three-and-out for the Dawgs this time.
Gunner Stockton finds Oscar Delp up the seam off of play-action, and Georgia is correct again close to midfield.

Can Manning capitalize?
I used to be simply about to say how clear a recreation Arch Manning has performed tonight. Up till a second in the past, Manning had navigated the pocket and negotiated stress nicely, made good, correct throws and sensible selections.
He misses a throw there, and it turns into an interception. Killer turnover for Texas. The Longhorns wanted factors there.
Q2 6:04 – Georgia 14, Texas 3
Arch Manning’s first mistake of the night time is a giant one. He airmails his receiver, and his third-down go lands proper within the arms of Georgia security KJ Bolden.
Georgia takes over. Intestine punch for Texas.
Q2 7:13 – Georgia 14, Texas 3
Massive damage for Georgia’s protection as star linebacker CJ Allen was proven on the ABC broadcast limping to the locker room with an obvious knee damage.
On cue, Ryan Wingo takes a tunnel display from Arch Manning 15 yards for a primary down, however a catch-and-run from Parker Livingstone on the subsequent play is negated as a consequence of a maintain.
It’s means too early — means, means too early — to say Georgia can begin sitting on the lead. However the Bulldogs have a robust operating recreation and are constructed to play from forward, as was seen final week when it jumped out on Mississippi State within the first half. That’s a luxurious Kirby Good’s group hasn’t had this season, when it’s needed to play from behind or go wire to wire in each recreation besides Mississippi State and Kentucky.
Now it has a 14-3 lead on Texas. Don’t count on offensive coordinator Mike Bobo to cease being aggressive, however a lead performs into Bobo and Good’s need to run extra. It additionally lets defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann let free slightly extra with blitzes.
Q2 8:17 – Georgia 14, Texas 3
Texas’ protection lastly will get a cease, forcing Georgia to punt from their very own territory. However we’re already approaching must-score vary for Arch Manning and the Longhorns offense as they take over from their very own 30…
Texas' go catchers will not be serving to Arch Manning a ton tonight. 4 drops; two by Ryan Wingo and a key one by tight finish Jordan Washington on second-and-10 that may have made it third-and-short. As an alternative, it was third-and-10, Georgia introduced stress, and Manning was pressured to eliminate the ball shortly, which he did by hitting DeAndre Moore on the fingers, however Moore couldn’t haul it in.
