ESPN College GameDay will be at SEC Championship game, 4th Texas game of year​


AA1v4H68.img.jpeg

ESPN College GameDay is making a habit of covering the Texas Longhorns. For the fourth time this season, the popular Saturday morning preview show will be on site for a UT game. ESPN has announced next week's location will be the SEC Championship Game.

College GameDay has set up at the Texas-Michigan game, where Michael Phelps was the guest picker. GameDay was on the UT campus for the Georgia game where two-time Masters champion and Texas Ex Scottie Scheffler was the guest picker. And GameDay was in College Station Saturday for the Lone Star Showdown. Dude Perfect were the guest pickers.

Now the program heads to Atlanta for the SEC title game. It is unknown whether ESPN will choose a guest picker with Texas ties, Georgia ties or someone neutral. This could also be one of the final appearances by famed GameDay analyst Lee Corso.

ABC will air the SEC Championship game at 3 PM CT. Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will call the game from the booth at DKR with Holly Rowe reporting from the sidelines.



SEC Championship Game 2024: Early Preview, Predictions for Georgia vs. Texas​

The Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs will do battle for the second time this season in the 2024 SEC Championship Game.
Georgia handed Texas its only loss of the season to date on October 19 in Austin.
Since then, Texas has looked like the better team while UGA's delivered some questionable performances.
Texas will enter Atlanta as the higher-ranked team in the College Football Playoff rankings and as the favorite to win the contest.
Georgia is trying to avoid a third loss in four years in the SEC Championship Game. It is 1-2 in the last three seasons with the two losses coming to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Texas' debut season in the SEC was almost perfect.
The Longhorns went 7-1 in conference play and were the only team to not drop multiple games in the league.
The lone blemish on Texas' resume was a loss to UGA at home on October 19, a game in which the Bulldogs dominated the trenches and held the Longhorns to 29 rushing yards.
Since the loss, the Longhorns reeled off five straight wins and limited four of those opponents to 17 points or less.
Texas' defense showed off its championship caliber on Saturday by holding the Texas A&M Aggies to seven points in a game that it had to win to advance to Atlanta.
Texas limited A&M to 248 total yards and the only points concession came on a pick six in the third quarter.
Steve Sarkisian's team is playing its best football of the season at the moment, and that should give it the edge against Georgia to land the SEC's automatic bid into the CFB Playoff.

Georgia has become a regular visitor to Atlanta on the first Saturday of December.
The Bulldogs made seven SEC Championship Game appearances in the last eight years. They are 2-5 in their previous seven trips to the title clash.
The good news for UGA is that Alabama is not its opponent. The Crimson Tide beat Georgia three times during its recent run in Atlanta.
Kirby Smart and his staff have plenty of concerns going into Saturday, though, since the Bulldogs barely beat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Friday.
The Carson Beck-led offense was not great for the first half against Georgia Tech and its sputtered out on a handful of occasions this season, including in the loss to the Ole Miss Rebels.
As a program, Georgia knows how to win games like this, but it will take a perfect performance to beat Texas again and there are a lot of questions about whether that can happen.

Texas 27, Georgia 17
Texas is simply the better football team at the moment.
The Longhorns are more consistent on both sides of the ball, and on top of that, they will be motivated to avenge the regular-season loss to Georgia.
A win could give the Longhorns the No. 1 overall seed in the CFB Playoff if the Oregon Ducks lose in the Big Ten Championship Game.
At minimum, Texas will be the No. 2 overall seed with a win.
Some experts may think UGA's playoff position will be in peril with a loss, but a three-loss SEC team with two losses to Texas should be safely in the 12-team field.

The last line kills the article for me. Who writes these articles? Georgia wouldn't have 2 losses to Texas. SMH!
 
Hopefully, a healthier Quinn gives him more confidence. I do like Sark having another bite at the Georgia apple. I don't remember exactly, but didn't our Defense give up really on 2 or 3 sustained drives? Most of the Georgia scoring came on short fields.

Yeah, but I don't think Beck is going to throw another 3 interceptions. Hopefully we can keep him to 0 TDs again. I know Beck has had problems this season. He and Quinn have had a Jekyll and Hyde season.

This game will be won in the trenches.
 
Sark and QE3 statement game. Beat the best college FB coach and the best program of the last 3 years and win the best conference in college FB.
 
There are cheaper tickets on Gametime for the SEC Championship Game than there were for Texas @ A&M.
 
The previous game with Georgia, we lost because we set them up with short fields five different times.

How about we not do that this time. lol

Why not? All year Beck has been an interception machine.....12 this year....17 sacks this year also... If our D is as focused as it looks like it will be, he might throw 5..... Just saying....

The OL needs to do a better job. They got a little bit overwhelmed in the first game. Sark also needs to find a way to scheme UGa's LB'ers, they are quick to the flats where our bread and butter is when it comes to the passing game.

Our running backs missed on a lot of key blocks where we had rushers shooting a gap. It will also help if Quinn doesn't panic in the pocket and can climb when he needs to. Some of the sacks were on Quinn.
 
If Quinton can/will block, it will be huge. Blue is unwilling or unable to block from what I have seen.

He whiffed on a block that led to the sack on Quinn against A&M.

Tre is a pretty willing and effective blocker.
 
Looka likw Georgia's RB room is a bit banged up.
