    Over the course of its illustrious history, Texas football has been part of several matchups dubbed “The Game of the Century,” from the 1969 victory against Arkansas to the iconic victory against top-ranked USC in the national championship game at the end. of the 2005 season.

    The Longhorns’ game Saturday against Georgia won’t be quite like that, but it won’t be far off either.

    The game between No. 1 Texas and No. 4 Georgia at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin is one of the most highly anticipated games of the 2024 college football season, with the winner gaining a crucial edge in the race for an SEC championship and a coveted spot in the twelve-team College Football Playoff.

    With a setback against Alabama already on their resume, the Bulldogs have a much smaller margin for error the rest of the way. A loss to the Longhorns wouldn’t necessarily take them out of the playoffs, but it would make their path there much more dangerous.

    It will be only the third top-five game in the 100-year history of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the first since 2006, when No. 2 Texas and freshman quarterback Colt McCoy lost 24-7 to No. 1 Ohio State. .

    After a 34-3 loss to archrival Oklahoma in last Saturday’s Red River Rivalry, coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns were 6-0 for the first time since 2009. A win against Kirby Smart and Georgia would make the program’s dreams of a national championship that much more realistic.

    Texas looks like it will have one of its most important and productive players for Saturday’s game against Georgia.

    Longhorns leading receiver Isaiah Bond is no longer listed on the SEC availability report and was on the field for pre-game warmups.

    This season, Bond has 21 catches for 369 yards and three touchdowns, all team highs.

    Georgia offensive lineman Tate Ratledge was listed as probable on the SEC’s availability report on Friday. However, in the hours leading up to the match, his status was changed to a playing time decision.

    Drew Brees at Georgia-Texas

    Among the celebrities at Austin’s Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for Saturday’s game is a familiar face to any football fan.

    Former NFL star quarterback Drew Brees is on the field before the game. Although he didn’t attend either school, Brees grew up in the Austin area and was a star at Westlake High School, a Texas prep powerhouse that also produced the likes of Justin Tucker and Nick Foles.

    Picks for ‘College GameDay’ from Georgia-Texas

    Here’s a look at how the panel on ESPN’s “College GameDay” picked the Georgia-Texas game to unfold, with Kirk Herbstreit refraining from making a prediction as he will call Saturday night’s game on ABC:

    • Desmond Howard: Texel
    • Nick Saban: Texel
    • Pat McAfee: Texel
    • Scottie Scheffler: Texel
    • Lee Corso: Texel

    Georgia uniform vs. Texas

    The Bulldogs will play in Texas on Saturday in their traditional road uniforms: white jerseys, gray pants and red helmets.

    One of the burning questions off the field during Saturday’s game was whether Georgia’s famous live bulldog mascot, Uga, would make the trip to Austin for a possible reunion with Bevo, Texas’ live longhorn mascot, after the two faced each other at Suikerpot 2019.

    The answer to that question is no, as Uga’s handler, Charles Seiler, tells the Athens Banner-Herald that the beloved bulldog is not headed to Texas.

    “This dog is only two and two months old,” Seiler said. “He hadn’t been on a plane yet, nor had he been on a bus. The journey is simply too far for us.”

    Georgia vs. Texas Predictions

    Thomas Jones, Austin American statesman: Texas 35, Georgia 27

    “For whatever reason, the Bulldogs haven’t met their usual high standards on defense. A trip to Austin to take on a red-hot Longhorn team isn’t the best way to get everything right.“

    Marc Weiszer, Banner-Herald of Athens: Georgia 27, Texas 26

    “Texas is off to its first 6-0 start since 2009, but currently hasn’t played a team ranked in the top 20 of the ESPN SP+ rankings. The Bulldogs are the most desperate team after their Alabama stumble, but that could go either way. Going with Texas is probably a smart move, but this choice is largely made with confidence that Georgia will bring its best play and some of its best playmakers will step up. Smart has squeezed that out of his team too often in the past.“

    Bill Bender, the sports news: Texas 30, Georgia 24

    “The Bulldogs have only been underdogs twice under Kirby Smart, and that’s a dangerous game. The Longhorns are the most complete team this season. Texas ranks in the top 10 in scoring offense and scoring defense. Georgia has forced just five turnovers this season, and the Bulldogs haven’t had a consistent running game. Texas is averaging 5.1 yards per rushing attempt, and if they can get four yards or more, the Bulldogs will be in trouble. The underdog has featured in both top-five showdowns this season. We still like a TD’s Longhorns.“
