The Bulldogs sent a clear message that the Longhorns aren\u2019t ready for the sport\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Gunner Stockton accounted for five touchdowns and No. 5 Georgia rolled past No. 10 Texas 35-10, using a dominant second half to strengthen its College Football Playoff position and expose the Longhorns\u2019 inconsistencies.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulldogs (9-1, 7-1 SEC) won their sixth straight and may be in line for a first-round bye after No. 4 Alabama\u2019s loss earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<p>Texas (7-3, 4-2 SEC) trimmed the deficit to 14-10 midway through the third quarter, but Georgia responded like a conference contender. Stockton hit London Humphreys for a 30-yard touchdown, then Kirby Smart dialed up an onside kick that Cash Jones recovered. Stockton found Lawson Luckie moments later, effectively ending the game before the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>While Georgia executed with precision, Texas unraveled. Dropped passes, penalties and a bad run game of just 19 rushing yards and kept Arch Manning under pressure throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Manning finished 27-of-43 for 251 yards with one touchdown and one interception but struggled to generate rhythm against a defense that tightened up after allowing an opening-drive field goal.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia looked every bit the playoff veteran. Stockton completed 24-of-29 passes, his lone interception one of Texas\u2019 few highlights. The Bulldogs\u2019 defense dominated the trenches, producing key sacks from Gabe Harris and Quintavius Johnson and a second-quarter interception by KJ Bolden.<\/p>\n<p>A year after edging Texas in overtime for the SEC title, Georgia\u2019s latest statement showed the gap between the programs remains wide. And that the Longhorns\u2019 primetime ambitions may still be a season away.<\/p>\n<p>More college football news:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Georgia proved Texas isn&#8217;t ready for SEC primetime originally appeared on The Sporting News.
