UGA Recruiting: SUPERSTAR SUNDAY – This Star Defender Could Flip to the G Sooner Rather Than Later
AUSTIN, Texas — The fifth-ranked Georgia football team went on the road Saturday night and knocked off top-ranked Texas, 30-15, in front of a crowd of 105,215 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Georgia’s defense produced seven sacks and four turnovers and running back Trevor Etienne ran for three scores to lead the offense.
The Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) overcame three interceptions by Carson Beck thanks in large part to a defensive effort that held one of college football’s top offenses — 43.2 points per game coming into Saturday — in check for most of the game. Georgia finished with 10 tackles for loss, with linebacker Jalon Walker getting three sacks and a fumble recovery.
Georgia was held to 283 yards of offense and converted just 6 of 17 third-down attempts, but it made enough plays when it had to. And kicker Peyton Woodring connected on field goals from 33, 48 and 44 yards. Texas, which was held to 38 yards in the first half, finished with 259.
Career Win #100 For Smart:
Huge Road Win!
Bulldogs Now 4-5 Against No. 1 Ranked Teams:

Coach said what absolutely needed to be said.

This could have gotten out of hand. Shame on @SECOfficiating
