Texas Longhorns Players To Watch:
Offense: Quarterback – Quinn Ewers – Senior
Quinn is the answer for the Longhorns this week, he looked rusty last week after missing two weeks, and the Longhorn offense still looked good though, now this week is a very tough task against a Georgia defense. The Bulldogs ranks first in the SEC against the pass, Ewers will need to be locked in from the opening kick and protect the ball if Texas can come out on top.
Defense: Linebacker – Anthony Hill Jr. – Sophomore
Hill is the key to this defense as he leads the team in tackles and sacks. He will look to get pressure on Carson Beck and force him to make some mistakes and get the ball back into Ewers hands. He also will need to lead to defense and force big plays.
Bottom Line: Biggest Texas Game of the Season
The biggest game of the season is here between the Texas Longhorns and the Georgia Bulldogs. Both these teams are ranked in the top five entering this matchup and many expect this to be an SEC Championship preview. A Texas win would make it that Georgia would need help to get to the championship game. The Longhorns have looked like easily the best team in the country to this point and now against a good Georgia team, they’ll get to put an exclamation point on those claims.
