Georgia football is gearing up for a highly anticipated matchup against Texas on Saturday, but they will be without linebacker Smael Mondon, according to Pete Nakos of On3. Mondon, who was seen wearing a boot on the sidelines during the Georgia-Mississippi State game, appears to be dealing with a foot injury.
Mondon has been a key player for the Bulldogs. So far in 2024, he has recorded six solo tackles and 17 total tackles. Since joining Georgia in 2021, Mondon had his breakout season in 2022, finishing with 76 total tackles, 49 of which were solo.
His absence on Saturday will be notable.
Georgia-Texas football game
Georgia football faces some overall concerns. Despite their 5-1 record, they’ll need an exceptional performance to defeat the undefeated 6-0 Texas team. The Longhorns have been dominant in 2024, positioning themselves as serious championship contenders. While college football often delivers upsets, overcoming Texas without Mondon will be a significant challenge.
That said, a win for Georgia would have a huge impact on the college football rankings. Currently sitting at No. 5, this game is a must-win for the Bulldogs. At the very least, they need to stay competitive and avoid a blowout loss.
Defense will be key. Texas has thrived offensively this season, so Georgia’s defense will need to step up to stay in the game. However, if Texas’ offense hits its stride early, the Bulldogs could be in for a tough night.
The Georgia-Texas matchup has already become the focus of the college football world. The game kicks off at 7:30 PM EST on Saturday, with Georgia aiming to pull off a major upset.
