No. 5 Georgia Hosts No. 10 Texas in Playoff-Shaping SEC Night Game

Texas' playoff hopes hinge on a road upset against Georgia's surging run game.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Sanford Stadium with ABC carrying the broadcast.
  • Arch Manning arrives on a four-game Texas win streak after consecutive 300-plus yard, multi-touchdown outings with only one interception across the last two games.
  • Texas brings the nation’s most productive pass rush with 34 sacks and a top-two run defense allowing fewer than 80 rushing yards per game and 2.41 yards per carry.
  • Georgia counters with a balanced attack that averages nearly 200 rushing yards per game, led by efficient dual-threat quarterback Gunner Stockton.
  • Analysts note a Texas loss would likely imperil its CFP chances, as Georgia looks to protect a top-five resume after sweeping the Longhorns in two meetings last season.
