Georgia vs. Texas: Live updates, score, highlights
It’s UGA vs. Bevo in the third Top 5 matchup of the 2024 season, as the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs will tangle with the top-ranked Texas Longhorns on Saturday night in Austin (7:30 p.m., ABC).
Georgia is an underdog for the first time in 49 games, as Kirby Smart’s team is looking to spoil Texas’ undefeated record in its first season in the SEC.
Another UGA strip-sack

After Arch Manning ripped off a 21-yard run, Georgia’s defense sacked the Texas quarterback two more times including a strip-sack by Damon Wilson to setup the Bulldogs in field goal position with 20 seconds before halftime. The Bulldogs drilled a 44-yard kick to give them a 23-0 lead at halftime.
Texas has allowed five sacks and has just 38 yards at halftime. Head coach Steve Sarkisian said he put Manning into the game with the hopes to provide the offense “a spark.”

The Longhorns got a big stop on 3rd-and-1, stoning Trevor Etienne for no-gain for a chance to get some points just before halftime. Quinn Ewers remains on the sideline, as Arch Manning is back on the field.

Down 20-0, Steve Sarkisian has benched starting quarterback Quinn Ewers in favor of redshirt freshman Arch Manning. The Bulldogs pressured Manning twice on his first two throws, but a facemask negated a sack and kept Texas’ drive alive.
Dawgs are owning the LOS

Jalon Walker is giving Kelvin Banks, a likely Top 5 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, fits, recording his second sack tonight. The Longhorns went 3-and-out for the third time and still haven’t converted a third down (0-6).
Trevor Etienne to the house
10/19/2024, 8:50:49 PM
Three plays after UGA picked off Ewers, Trevor Etienne scooted 18 yards for his second touchdown of the game to give Georgia a 17-0 lead.
Despite two Carson Beck picks (and just 78 yards passing), Georgia has out-gained Texas 132-19.

Dawgs tack on FG
10/19/2024, 8:42:31 PM
Handed excellent field possession by their defense and special teams (Anthony Evans had a 19-yard punt return), the Bulldogs’ drive quickly stalled inside the 20-yard-line and they were forced to settle for a short field goal to take a 10-0 lead. Texas entered the game with the No. 2 red zone defense in the country.
Texas’ OL having issues
10/19/2024, 8:36:22 PM
Quinn Ewers is under constant duress, as Texas goes 3-and-out following a Jalon Walker sack just outside the end zone for a near safety. The Bulldogs have stoned the Longhorns ground game (just 18 yards) and have sacked Ewers twice.
Dawgs take early lead
10/19/2024, 8:28:13 PM
Georgia hit Texas with some old-school Bulldogs offense, as Trevor Etienne scored on a four-yard toss sweep to give UGA a 7-0 lead in the final seconds of the first quarter. Etienne has been a horse for the Bulldogs, as the Clemson transfer already has 33 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving.
UGA creates huge takeaway
10/19/2024, 8:25:01 PM
The Bulldogs sent the house on a delayed blitz, as corner Daylen Everette drilled Quinn Ewers on a blindside sack to force the fumble. After the ball rattled around, Everette ended up making the recovery, too.
Another Carson Beck INT
10/19/2024, 8:17:14 PM
After throwing a wayward pass that Texas dropped, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck did indeed throw another interception — this time taking away potential points for the Bulldogs, who were deep in Texas’ red zone. Beck was inaccurate on a high slant to tight end Lawson Luckie, who got his hands on the ball but tipped it to Longhorns safety Jahdae Barron.
Beck now has seven picks this season. He had six all of 2023.
Texas nabs a takeaway
10/19/2024, 8:04:45 PM
In another huge game, Carson Beck throws another bad interception. Clemson transfer safety Andrew Mukuba made a great juggling catch to give the Longhorns the football inside Georgia’s 40-yard line.
Georgia’s defense didn’t bit on a crazy double-reverse flea flicker and forced a 3-and-out to negate the turnover.
Georgia, Texas trade punts
