Texas’ road to revenge: Key factors for Georgia rematch victory

Texas football is on the verge of winning the SEC Championship in its first year in the conference. But one thing sits in the way: a rematch with the Georgia Bulldogs. To win, Texas will need to have learned from its mistakes and play much better than it did in the teams’ first matchup.

For Texas, the beginning of the season was filled with deep balls and high reception yards for either quarterback, whether junior Quinn Ewers or redshirt freshman Arch Manning, but as the season progressed and with offensive inconsistencies, the Longhorns found comfort in their successful run game. For instance in last week’s battle against Texas A&M, Texas finished with 243 rushing yards but just 218 passing yards.

However, during the first Georgia matchup back in October, Texas was held to a mere 29 rushing yards for the entirety of the game. What seemed to be missing was sophomore running back Quintrevion Wisner, who has broken 150 rushing yards in both of the last two games and has broken 100 yards three times this season.
