Georgia Bulldogs Crush Texas, Inch Closer to Playoff Berth

On November 12, 2022, the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs dominated the No. 10 Texas Longhorns, winning 35-10 and moving closer to a College Football Playoff berth. Quarterback Gunner Stockton had a standout performance, throwing 4 touchdown passes to lead the Bulldogs to victory.

The game was close at halftime, with Georgia leading 14-3. However, in the second half, head coach Kirby Smart coached aggressively, going for it on fourth down and even calling for an onside kick that Georgia recovered. This allowed the Bulldogs to pull away, scoring 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to seal the decisive win.

The Bulldogs' defense also played a key role, sacking Texas quarterback Arch Manning 3 times and holding the Longhorns to just 274 yards of total offense. Georgia's victory over their SEC rival Texas marks their third straight win against the Longhorns since they joined the conference last year.
