00:00In our top five tilt in Austin, the first time the number one team in the country in
00:08Texas has hosted a top five matchup in nearly two decades.
00:14It's number one, Texas.
00:16It's number five, Georgia, four and a half points spread in favor of the Longhorns Joe.
00:21When this line opened up in the summer, it was a near pick them.
00:24Now Georgia is getting four and a half points on the road.
00:28If this holds, it would be the first time for the Bulldogs as an underdog since the
00:32start of 2021.
00:35What do you make of the spread for the top five bout in Austin tonight?
00:38Well, I think Texas deserves to be favored in this matchup.
00:41They dominated in the Red River rivalry as a 14 and a half point favored over Michael
00:45Hawkins and Oklahoma.
00:47They rushed for 177 yards in that matchup.
00:50We saw Quinn yours a little rusty coming out of the hiatus, 199 yards, one touchdown, one
00:55interception, and their defense is playing legit.
00:58We have concerns or maybe questions.
01:00Can they step up to the sec type of week to week type of schedule from a defensive perspective,
01:05Kevin?
01:06They've answered the bell and on the flip side, we've seen Georgia win two games after
01:10the loss of Alabama, but they haven't covered, didn't cover against Auburn as a double digit
01:15favored 2021 points and certainly didn't cover against miss status 32 and a half point favorites.
01:21They have something to prove offensively and defensively tonight.
01:25You know, you mentioned the kind of the historical trend for Texas in this spot.
01:28I mentioned a recent history trend.
01:30First time Texas this season, we'll play a team with a pulse.
01:33Go dogs.
01:34They're going to route this team.
01:36I don't care.
01:37The closer we get, they're going to destroy this team.
01:40The only team that has touched Kirby in four years plays in Alabama.
01:45It's the only team it's Saban.
01:47It's the bore.
01:48It's Jalen Milrow.
01:49A little respect.
01:50If you wouldn't mind.
01:51That's it.
01:52This arc following the red river has been atrocious year.
01:56Number one, they're at home after red river rivalry play in Oklahoma state lane, three
02:01and a half.
02:02They lose out, right?
02:03Year.
02:04Number two, they went 49.
02:05Nothing.
02:06You think, oh, come on that type of route.
02:07No way.
02:08You don't show up next week.
02:09Whoops.
02:10Iowa state upset alert the entire game, despite Texas laying 16.
02:15And then you go to the last season performance off of red river.
02:19They take a buy.
02:21And for some reason are playing a super close game to Houston, despite laying 24 points.
02:28And now it's Georgia.
02:29Oh, baby.
02:30The dogs barking today in Austin.
02:37That is what Kevin Walsh is saying.
02:39And when you see this number of four and a half, again, this would be the first game
02:43for UGA as an underdog since the start of the 2021 college football season and a top
02:49five tilt to open up that year against Clemson, Georgia won that game outright.
02:54In fact, since the start of 2021, Georgia has now played 50 total football games.
03:00They have won 47.
03:01They have only lost three and all three L's against the very same team in Alabama.
03:07So Kevin, you stack the bulldogs up against these longhorns, Texas, the number one team
03:12in the country, one of four teams around the nation that is averaging better than 450 yards
03:17per game offensively, putting up more than 40 points per game offensively and limiting
03:22opponents to less than 15 points per game and 275 yards per game.
03:27How does this year's Georgia team stack up with Texas?
03:30So again, I look at Georgia still to me, bar for bar, piece for piece, the best team in
03:35college football, but we will find out today.
03:38Now home field advantage has reigned king inside these, you know, high level top teams
03:44in a country matchups.
03:46Texas should win this game.
03:49But again, it's why I think Georgia will reestablish what I think has been true from the beginning
03:53that they're the best team in the sport.
03:55Like truly the AP poll, the Ben's top 10.
03:59If Georgia wins this game, better be ready to just shoot them up to one.
04:02You don't have to go and rank those big 10 teams in front of them.
04:05They're not as good.
04:06The thing with Texas, and this is kind of, I think maybe it's a little unfair.
04:11Maybe I'm salty because they've knocked me around all season.
04:14I keep betting against them and I keep losing.
04:16But we don't have to pretend the win against Michigan is a great win because they were
04:22ranked 10th at the time that they played Michigan.
04:24Michigan is terrible this year.
04:26It's what it is.
04:27They're on their third quarterback.
04:28We'll break down their ranked ranked game later on in this show.
04:32We don't have to pretend Oklahoma's good.
04:34They're terrible.
04:35They're a home dog to South Carolina.
04:38That is very, very bad for OU.
04:42So I get it.
04:43They beat a rival by 31.
04:44Great job.
04:46I was dead wrong.
04:47But while Texas is 6-0, what is their claim to fame on this season, Joe?
04:52No, you're right.
04:53And to even double down on your point, Michigan's offense was completely one-dimensional, only
04:58averaging basically about 140 passing yards per game heading into that matchup with Orgie
05:04and Davis-Warren.
05:05Right?
05:06And to Kevin's point, with Michael Hawkins, they were only averaging 169 yards through
05:09the air.
05:10So it was really the rushing attacks that were more prevalent for both Michigan and
05:14Oklahoma, respectively.
05:16I break this game down a little bit differently as well.
05:19In order for Georgia to win tonight, I don't think it's Carson Beck.
05:22I think it's the rushing attack with Trevor Etienne.
05:25They're averaging a buck 34 on the ground.
05:28We know that goes right into the front seven of Texas.
05:31But last year, they were up to 194.
05:33They need to have that offensive balance.
05:35And then the defense for Georgia, Ben, doesn't really struggle with Jalen Milrow in terms
05:40of athleticism.
05:41Quinn, yours is a pocket passer.
05:43I think they can get some pass rush on him, force him to work down the field and maybe
05:47get some sacks or turnovers.
05:49And that's the key to Georgia knocking off Texas.
