Players To Watch:
Texas: Quarterback – Quinn Ewers
The Longhorns need Ewers to lock in if they want a shot at beating Georgia. In the previous matchup, he threw for 211 yards with two touchdowns but he didn’t turn things around until the second half, he needs to be consistent for the full 60 minutes if the Longhorns are to win their first SEC Championship in their first season.
Georgia: Quarterback – Carson Beck – Senior
Beck in the previous matchup had one of his worst games throwing for 175 yards and three interceptions. He’s been locked in the last three weeks combining to throw for 941 yards and 11 touchdowns with no interceptions, if he rides that momentum against a tough Texas defense then the Bulldogs can win the SEC Championship.
