The Georgia Bulldogs are underdogs going against Texas for the first time in more than two years, and there’s a ton of reasons why. Georgia has looked inconsistent in the past few weeks, especially with an unimpressive 41-31 against Mississippi State that saw their secondary struggle. Texas has looked like a juggernaut at 6-0, with an average margin of victory of 36.8 points per game.

Ever since then, there have been several opponents, regular and postseason, that have tried to get them to break, but only Alabama has been successful in doing so. This includes several SEC juggernauts that Georgia has had to face such as No. 1 Tennessee a few years ago.
Sure, Texas looks the part as the most difficult opponent Georgia has faced in the past couple of years, and Georgia has looked sloppy on occasions, but if there’s any team that deserves the benefit of the doubt, it’s the Bulldogs.
“Georgia has not looked good but remember what we saw yesterday, perhaps a look ahead to the weekend in Austin. Carson Beck is playing well; there are elements to Georgia’s team that are not,” said Paul Finebaum. “But they will be a formidable foe for Texas. Texas has seen some good teams but they have not seen anyone quite like the Dawgs.”
