Overview
- Georgia thumped Texas 35-10 in Athens, dropping the Longhorns to 7-3 and fifth in the SEC standings.
- ESPN’s Week 12 power rankings moved Texas from No. 11 to No. 17, reflecting a steep hit to playoff hopes.
- Texas mustered just 23 rushing yards against Georgia and ranks 97th nationally at 124.2 per game, with Steve Sarkisian saying the offense “has to be better at running the ball.”
- Arch Manning went 27-of-43 for 251 yards and a touchdown, then told reporters to “move on” from receivers’ drops after a game marred by miscues and nine penalties.
- Availability for Anthony Hill Jr. (broken hand) and Ryan Wingo (dislocated thumb) is being evaluated with Sarkisian expressing optimism, as Arkansas and No. 3 Texas A&M approach and outside voices float unconfirmed exit talk for the coach.
