Georgia holds off Texas in the second half, winning 30-15
No. 5 Georgia has dethroned No. 1 Texas, 30-15. There are now zero undefeated teams in the SEC.
It was a wild first half, with five total turnovers between both teams. However, Georgia's offense was able to capitalize on the turnovers, catapulting to a 23-0 lead after the first 30 minutes.
Texas hopped on the board quickly to open the second half, cutting the lead to two scores. Following a wild sequence with the referees, the Longhorns capitalized on an interception, pulling within eight.
Trevor Etienne punched in his third rushing touchdown of the night early in the fourth quarter, which ended up being the game-sealer. The Longhorns were able to get in scoring distance a handful of times, but they finished the game just 1-5 on fourth down.
The Georgia defense was the difference maker tonight, tallying seven sacks, 8 tackles for loss, two fumbles and an interception. Bulldog edge rusher Jalon Walker recorded three sacks and four QB hits.
As a result, Texas will likely fall out of the top spot, making way for the fourth different team to be ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll this season.
Georgia secured a much-needed SEC win, and Kirby Smart earned his 100th win as the Bulldog's head coach.

👀 Wild sequence results in Texas TD
Carson Beck threw a pick that was returned inside Georgia's 20-yard line. However, the referees called defensive pass interference on the Texas DB. In disagreement with the referee's decision, Longhorn fans began throwing bottles onto the field, delaying the game. During this delay, the referees huddled and announced the decision to overturn the pass interference call, giving the Longhorns the ball in the red zone.
Quinn Ewers connected with Jaydon Blue two plays later for a touchdown. The Longhorns now only trail 23-15 with under two minutes in the third quarter.
