Texas vs. Georgia: Daring choices propel Bulldogs towards Playoff as Horns’ possibilities sink
Mike B: The extent of this beating ought to completely get rid of Texas from the CFP dialogue. It gained’t in fact however completely ought to.
Paul E: I’ve no canine on this struggle. I’ve by no means been a giant Georgia fan, however I’ll inform you, Kirby can coach.
Bret A: I’ll cease complaining about Money Jones now.
Ken S: I’ll say this for Texas—class act of a head coach. Have a number of respect for Sark.
Lionel B: Georgia appears like a fantastic place to see a sport.
That loss actually damages Texas’ possibilities of making the School Soccer Playoff. The Longhorns nonetheless could have a path if they will pull off an upset of Texas A&M on Black Friday, but when the offense appears prefer it did tonight, it’s laborious to ascertain Texas pulling that off agains a stout Texas A&M protection.
It additionally seems like Georgia underneath Kirby Good has Texas’ and Steve Sarkisian’s quantity. The Dawgs have knocked off Texas 3 times of their three conferences relationship again to October 19, 2024. And the UGA protection has a approach of maintaining the Longhorns’ offense in examine, which it did once more on Saturday night time.
Georgia’s protection has been shaky at instances this season, however it definitely wasn’t shaky tonight … not at one level on this sport. Tonight’s sport seemed like the real article.
That was the sort of protection Kirby Good loves and is understood for, and Texas had no reply for it. Georgia was quicker and extra bodily, and Texas seemed prefer it needed no a part of it.
Kirby Good after what is well Georgia’s most spectacular win of the 2025 season:
“I like this group. This group fights. They compete. They like it. What a fantastic environment to play in. Our guys got here out and competed. I although defensively, we stepped up towards a very good group. Arch was getting higher and higher, and our guys stepped up.
“I assumed offensively, we did some actually good issues. Tried to maintain them off stability. Received a superb soccer group, a number of soccer left. You gotta be aggressive to win. This league’s tight, the margins are small. You gotta take possibilities when you possibly can.”

Possession Time
Georgia beat Texas for the third time in 13 months, and the Texas teaching workers was badly outcoached tonight. That has been a theme of the three conferences between Kirby Good’s workers and Steve Sarkisian’s workers.
Sooner or later, it’s important to surprise if this Texas workers can win these sorts of video games, particularly towards Good (though a number of coaches don’t match as much as Good).
For some time in his head teaching profession, Kirby Good was identified for being conservative in his sport administration, leaning on his protection. However as he’s purchased an increasing number of into analytics — which frequently name for going for it on fourth down — Good has taken extra possibilities.
And he took a giant one within the second half.
Then he did it once more. After which but once more.
It began when Georgia confronted fourth-and-1 from its personal 36, late within the third quarter, clinging to a 14-10 lead. Good not solely went for it, however his offensive coordinator, Mike Bobo, dialed up a dangerous play: Quarterback Gunner Stockton went underneath heart, faked a handoff, then rolled out and hit Chauncey Bowens for a 10-yard acquire.
4 performs later, Georgia confronted fourth-and-5. It lined up rapidly for the not-unusual effort to get the protection to leap. This time it really labored, and Georgia obtained one other set of downs. A couple of performs later, Stockton hit a wide-open London Humphreys for a 30-yard landing.
Then Good went for the jugular: an onside kick, the primary of his tenure per Georgia’s communications group. It caught Texas without warning, with Georgia’s Money Jones making a clear restoration. Georgia’s offense took the sector once more, and rapidly drove downfield once more.
After what has been a disappointing and confounding season for Georgia on protection, it appears prefer it’s getting proper at simply the fitting time.
It was evident from the beginning. In its seven earlier SEC video games, Georgia gave up a landing on the opening possession all however as soon as, and in that exception, Kentucky obtained into the top zone on the subsequent drive. However Texas was held to a subject aim on its opening possession, then went three-and-out the subsequent drive.
And that three-and-out seemed like classic Georgia: Cornerback Demello Jones threw down Ryan Wingo after a brief acquire on first down, then a blitz by Quintavius Johnson pressured Texas quarterback Arch Manning to dump off early, and linebacker CJ Allen clobbered the receiver for a 2-yard loss.
Defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann dialed up blitzes all through the sport, creating stress in methods Georgia has struggled to do that 12 months. And after Texas ran the ball nicely on the primary drive, the Bulldogs stiffened up.
The query for Georgia’s protection was by no means expertise, however expertise. Many of the five-stars and different blue-chips are first -or second-year gamers. Because the protection will get extra snaps, they look like rounding into kind. The shape persons are used to seeing from a Georgia protection.
As Daniel stated, we actually have to cease overlooking Gunner Stockton.
The unheralded Georgia quarterback simply went 24-for-29 with 229 yards, 4 landing and an interception.
He additionally finishes as Georgia’s second-leading rusher with 29 yards and one other landing on the bottom.
He might not be fairly the underdog story that Stetson Bennett was, however he’s clearly the fitting quarterback for this group.
The main target is all the time going to be on Arch Manning. However he was clearly the second-best quarterback on the sector tonight.
Keep in mind the preseason when he was the famous person and Gunner Stockton was an afterthought? The sort of QB a group wins with and never as a result of? Properly, Georgia gained this sport tonight due to Stockton and never despite him.
It’s time for individuals to comprehend simply how proficient Stockton is. You don’t set all the highschool passing information in Georgia with out expertise.

At one level late within the third quarter, Georgia was clinging to a 14-10 lead with a scuffling offense.
