If the Texas Longhorns thought playing Michigan was going to be its biggest threat in the SEC, it might want to reconsider.
Georgia packs a punch that certainly looks to humble the Longhorns on their journey to conference greatness within only their first year of competition, and it won’t be forgiving.
Here’s how our staff predicts the game will fare.
Matt Galatzan, Publisher
Arguably the game of the year for many, Texas and Georgia are facing off as the two heavyweights of the SEC up to this point. The Longhorns will have home-field advantage. But are they ready to take down a Georgia team that has its backs against the wall? I don’t think they cover the spread, but I do think they get the win.
Georgia 31, Texas 28

This will be the toughest game of the season for Texas, and the match will definitely live up to its hype. The Longhorns have been on a winning streak and I think this will continue despite the strength of the Georgia offense.
Texas 23, Georgia 14
Emma Hutchinson, Staff Writer
It’s going to take one heck of a performance from the Longhorns to defeat a football program like the Georgia Bulldogs. There’s no doubt that this will be a tough-fought battle from both teams in every aspect, and I think this marks the most challenging opponent Texas will face. However, the Longhorns have convinced me that they have what it takes to overcome any obstacle that stands in between them and the national championship.
Texas 27, Georgia 24
TJ Krilowicz, Staff Writer
Texas wins after Georgia takes a quick lead in the first half. Ewers gets 3 touchdowns and has a winning drive in the fourth to keep Texas unbeaten.
Texas 35, Georgia 27
Lindsey Plotkin, Staff Writer
Texas and Georgia will go back and forth in an all-out showdown. Quinn Ewers will have a perfect game and throw for four touchdowns and Texas will come out on top.
Texas 31, Georgia 21

AUSTIN — The Texas Longhorns have released their initial student-athlete availability report ahead of Saturday’s matchup against the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs.
The biggest injury question for Texas entering the week was the status of receiver Isaiah Bond, who suffered an ankle injury in the first half of the 34-3 win over the Oklahoma Sooners. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian told the media during Wednesday’s SEC Weekly Teleconference that Bond “had a pretty good practice today,” and the availability report certainly reflects that. He’s currently listed as questionable.
Georgia is dealing with injury issues of its own. It was reported Tuesday by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports that Bulldogs linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. is not expected to play against Texas after missing the past two games due to a foot injury.
He was officially labeled as out on Wednesday.
Here’s the injury report for both teams:

The Longhorns already knew they’d be without safety Derek Williams Jr., who suffered a season-ending injury against Oklahoma that will require surgery.
Texas defensive back Michael Taaffe admitted that it hurt to hear the news but said that Williams Jr. will continue to have a key role from the sidelines.
“Prayers for D-Will. What an amazing guy,” Taaffe said. “He’s going to have a great career. His job is not done this year. He was one of the first in the in the building this morning. And man, how amazing is that. That shows his character right there. And so he’s still going to be there, he’s going to be Coach Williams, and he’s going to have a vital role on this team, but prayers go out to him. I’m so saddened to hear that news. He’s one of the guys. He’s truly my brother, and definitely playing for him.”
No. 1 Texas and No. 5 Georgia will kick off from Austin on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT.

AUSTIN — Texas Longhorns receiver Isaiah Bond appears to be trending up on the injury front ahead of Saturday’s big-time matchup against the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs.
After suffering an ankle injury in the win over the Oklahoma Sooners that sidelined him for the entire second half, Bond had a good practice Wednesday, according to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian.
“He had a pretty good practice today,” Sarkisian told the media during the SEC Weekly Teleconference.
The first SEC Student-Athlete Availability Report of the week will drop Wednesday evening, which will reveal Bond’s initial injury designation for the game.
Bond finished the Oklahoma game with just one catch for five yards, his lowest statistical output through six games as a Longhorn. He had spent an extensive amount of time in the medical tent on the sidelines before eventually heading back to the locker room. In his absence, tight end Gunnar Helm led the Texas passing attack with five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown while true freshman Ryan Wingo adde two grabs for 49 yards and a 25-yard run..
