Georgia Defeats Texas in Key SEC Showdown

No. 5 Georgia defeated No. 1 Texas 30-15 in a pivotal SEC matchup, marking the first loss for Texas this season and leaving the SEC without an unbeaten team. Georgia's victory was underscored by a strong defensive performance, including three rushing touchdowns by Trevor Etienne and key plays by the defensive line, which pressured Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers throughout the game. A controversial overturned pass interference call in the third quarter allowed Texas to capitalize and score, but Georgia responded with a decisive 11-play, 89-yard drive. The game was marred by Texas fans throwing debris onto the field in protest, which the SEC office condemned, leaving open the possibility of sanctions against Texas. Georgia's win, coming after an early 23-0 lead, was crucial for their SEC standings, bolstering their playoff and championship aspirations. The Bulldogs now possess a 6-1 record as they head into a bye week before facing Florida.
