“If you considered last week’s victory over Oklahoma to be significant, just think about the impact a win against Georgia would have. The Texas Longhorns are set to face the Georgia Bulldogs this weekend in Austin. Here are four reasons why the Longhorns are positioned to defeat the Bulldogs.”
If you believed last week’s game was the most significant for Texas Football, reconsider. This week, they’re facing the formidable Georgia Bulldogs in Austin, a powerhouse from the SEC. Georgia aims to demonstrate that they are the dominant force in the SEC.
Meanwhile, the Longhorns are eager to establish themselves as the team to beat this season by maintaining their number-one ranking. Here are four reasons why Texas should come out on top against the Bulldogs this weekend.
Why Texas football will defeat Georgia:
Quintrevion Wisner having another career week
Sophomore running back Quintrevion Wisner enjoyed a standout performance against Oklahoma, rushing for 118 yards on 13 carries. The Longhorns will need him to replicate this success if the Bulldogs manage to stifle their passing attack.
Wisner’s skill in recognizing blocks and exploiting openings will be crucial for the Longhorns to compete against Georgia. If he delivers another impressive performance this weekend, the Longhorns could easily outpace the Bulldogs.
Wide receiver core ambush
After being somewhat ineffective against the Sooners last weekend, the Longhorns’ passing game could make a strong comeback against Georgia. Isaiah Bond and his teammates could prove difficult for the Bulldogs’ secondary to handle.
As Emmanuel Acho aptly pointed out, when one receiver struggles, the others step up. If the passing game falters again this Saturday, the Longhorns may face challenges. Nonetheless, they are likely to secure a victory this Saturday night with their aerial attack.
Quinn Ewers should be back to normal
Senior quarterback Quinn Ewers struggled in the game against the Sooners on Saturday, which was somewhat anticipated after missing two and a half weeks due to an abdominal injury suffered against UTSA. With another week of practice, I believe Ewers will get back to his usual form.
For the Longhorns to have a chance at defeating the Bulldogs, Ewers needs to make wise decisions in the passing game. If he displays any signs of rust on Saturday night, it could be detrimental for the Longhorns.
Defensive shutdown
The Longhorns’ defense excelled in containing the Sooners’ offense last weekend, which will be a significant boost for their motivation. This drive should carry over into their game against the Bulldogs this weekend.
Bulldogs senior quarterback Carson Beck has a strong arm and isn’t hesitant to throw deep. The pressure from the Longhorns could lead him to make poor decisions with his passes. If they can force Carson Beck into mistakes, the Longhorns should secure a victory this weekend.
