Kelvin Banks Jr. and Etienne Status Key for SEC Clash

Ahead of the SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns' left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. remains a game-time decision due to an ankle injury sustained in a recent game against Texas A&M. Banks' status is crucial as he plays a key role in protecting the quarterback against Georgia's formidable defense, which previously recorded seven sacks and more than 10 tackles for loss against Texas. Meanwhile, Georgia running back Trevor Etienne, who had missed the last three games with a rib injury, has been cleared to play, adding a significant boost to Georgia's offense. His performance in previous matchups, including an 87-yard, three-touchdown game against Texas, underscores his importance. Both teams are gearing up for a highly anticipated contest with key players' health pivotal to their performance.
