And a pleasant return from Zach Department units Georgia up close to midfield!
Can Georgia draw back, or can Texas keep on this recreation?
Georgia has been a second-half group all 12 months. If that continues tonight, be careful. It feels just like the Bulldogs have dominated each massive play on this recreation, and the Longhorns have to show that round within the ultimate two quarters if they’ve an opportunity.
Texas’ Emmett Mosley V has a game-high 66 receiving yards on three catches, however no person else for the Longhorns reached 20 receiving yards within the first half.
Georgia, alternatively, has 4 pass-catchers past that threshold — Zach Department (5 catches, 35 yards), Noah Thomas (4 catches, 32 yards, two touchdowns), Oscar Delp (two catches, 29 yards) and London Humphreys (one catch, 25 yards).

Georgia has 61 consecutive wins beneath Kirby Good when main by double digits at halftime.
Not precisely a comforting thought for Texas followers as their group trails 14-3 on the break.
Texas ought to really feel lucky to be down solely 14-3. Georgia had management of this one within the first half and it seems like a recreation that the Dawgs ought to have an even bigger lead, particularly with Texas going 0-for-6 on first downs and committing seven penalties to Georgia’s zero. 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 could possibly actually put Texas in a foul spot. On the flip facet, if the Longhorns can get a fast cease and get the ball again, it should give them some confidence and provides Arch Manning and the offense an opportunity to get Texas again into this recreation.
Arch Manning and Gunner Stockton are going through off at QB on this SEC showdown.
Texas' Manning has accomplished 12-of-19 passes for 125 yards with one interception. Georgia's Stockton has accomplished 14-of-17 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.

“We’ve hit some good runs in there. We’ve gashed them a few instances. They obtained somewhat aggressive that final drive and stopped us a few instances. We didn’t handle the top of that actual nicely. I’m dissappointed. We wanted to get factors out of that.”

Steve Sarkisian appeared to take a primary half the place his group solely scored three factors in stride when speaking to ESPN at halftime:

Nameless: This recreation can be even when TX wasn’t making so many errors.
Halftime – Texas 14, Georgia 3
An enormous hat-tip to the Longhorns protection for retaining them within the recreation.
However it 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 enjoying quite a bit cleaner. Getting 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

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 strain nicely, made good, correct throws and sensible choices.
He misses a throw there, and it turns into an interception. Killer turnover for Texas. The Longhorns wanted factors there.
