Go Iowa

I’m already ready!

It’s been pouring rain all day, they are down their top 3 wide receivers due to injury.

When No. 11 Texas faces fifth-ranked Georgia in Athens next Saturday (6:30 p.m., ABC), it will do so on the heels of the Bulldogs’ most complete performance of the season. In Saturday’s 41-21 dispatching of Mississippi State in Starkville, Kirby Smart’s team rolled up a season-high 567 yards of total offense. Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) ran for 303 yards and averaged 7.7 yards per play on an afternoon in which Gunnar Stockton (18-for-29 passing for 264 yards and three touchdowns) led five consecutive touchdown drives after a first-quarter fumble in the red zone. A defense entered Saturday’s game with a Power Four-low eight sacks recorded three. After allowing a 14-play, 75-yard drive to open the game, the Bulldogs forced two three-and-outs, four total punts, a fumble and a turnover on downs to help Georgia build a 38-7 lead by the 9:58 mark of the third quarter. The Longhorns won four consecutive SEC games after losing to Florida. Texas (7-2, 4-1) has earned the opportunity to position itself as a threat to get back to the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff if it can top the Bulldogs. With Georgia’s trip to Starkville out of the way, the countdown to the third meeting between the Longhorns and the Bulldogs in 392 days is officially underway. — Along with a healthy running back room (Nate Frazier’s 59-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter highlighted a 12-carry, 181-yard performance against Mississippi State), Georgia’s offensive line looks just as good, if not better than the group Stacy Searles put on the field last season. Texas will come into the game with arguably the best defense in the country against the run, making for a hellacious trench battle next Saturday. — The tight end position is a significant piece in Mike Bobo’s offense, which is why Lawson Luckie’s departure after he was leveled on a hit that led to Jahron Manning’s ejection for targeting is a significant development. Smart said after the game that Luckie wanted to return to the field. Regardless, Luckie’s availability is one of the early storylines to monitor heading into the week. — Zachariah Branch and Noah Thomas both hauled in touchdowns from Stockton on Saturday. The Bulldogs have upgraded at wide receiver since the last time Texas saw Georgia, with the transfer wideouts responsible for two of Stockton’s completions against Mississippi State that were explosive in nature (gained 15 or more yards), including Thomas’ 64-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. — The toughest task the Longhorns have in front of them is figuring out how to run the football with some level of consistency against a defense that came into the weekend as a top-15 unit against the run (94.1 yards per game and 3.01 yards per attempt allowed). Even though Texas is last in the SEC in rushing yards per game in conference play (84.1), Quintrevion Wisner has proven he can get the job done in big games. Wisner’s most productive games this season have come against Ohio State (80 yards on 16 carries), Oklahoma (22 carries for 94 yards and five receptions for 35 yards) and Vanderbilt (75 yards on 18 carries and 28 yards on two catches). Those three defenses came into the weekend ranked seventh, eighth and 17th against the run nationally. The Longhorns have a puncher’s chance to move the ball on the ground. — Georgia is elite in the kicking game. While turnovers doomed Texas in the first meeting with Georgia last season, Brett Thorson’s ability to flip the field and help the Bulldogs dominate field position was a significant factor in the Longhorns’ struggles. Texas is much improved on special teams from last season and it needs to match a Georgia kicking game that might be the best in the country. View full news story

Oregon doesn’t seem to throw the ball. Jalen Lott needs to come home.

The teams playing our enemies are not good. But I also don’t think our enemies are good.

Bear Alexander is at Oregon?! That dude is a full on whore.

Mizzou sucks

congratulations coach!

Yes, because Saban was a paradigm of good vibes during his time

Seems like a real prick to me.

Thanks Jeff!

The Big12 is a G5 conference with lipstick. Tech should get the G5 champion autobid.

KC concepcion is better than Matthew Golden

No question.

Classic way to lose a game. Coaches never learn despite seeing this happen over and over.

Nah

This has to be a TAMU troll. Up 14 vs a crap Mizzou team with 3rd string QB

A&M should win the natty, to be honest. It’s them or OSU

Can't stand the guy. I know a few others with same opinion. To each his own.

Wisner is a sooner and Aggy killer

Mizzou needs to just run every play. This QB is awful. Giving the game away now.

Missouri giving Texas some good intel in this game. Aggie giving up a LOT on the ground. Zollers seemingly isn't the guy.
