Georgia Bulldogs Lead Texas Longhorns at Break
Digest more
Two teams in Texas sit in great shape for The College Football Playoff. The Longhorns aren’t one of them. It’s come to this.
The No. 10 Longhorns fell 35-10 to the No. 5 Bulldogs in a game plagued by penalties, dropped passes and bad communication. The game was a crucial SEC matchup, and Texas' playoff potential is now in jeopardy. It's the third loss for the Longhorns against the Bulldogs in the past year.
Because of these mistakes, Texas wasn’t able to generate offensive momentum. The Longhorns went 0-for-6 on third-down conversions in the first half and 4-for-10 for the game. Manning threw his second interception in five games and seventh overall this season on a third down.
For the third time since Texas joined the SEC, the Longhorns had no answer for Georgia, which put UT's College Football Playoff hopes on life support.
The No. 10 Texas Longhorns suffered a devastating blow to their SEC title game and CFP bid hopes in Saturday's 35-10 loss at No. 5 Georgia.
