    Texas is coming off a dominant 34-3 win over Oklahoma on Saturday, but it can't take its foot off the gas yet. This week, the Longhorns have a critical home game against Georgia that will go a long way toward determining the shape of the remainder of the SEC season.

    FanDuel Sportsbook has opened Texas as a 3.5-point home favorite in the game with an over/under of 55.5 points. Those lines suggest a tight, high-scoring contest that should provide a ton of excitement for fans.

    Texas has an all-time record of 4-1 against Georgia. The last meeting came in the Sugar Bowl at the conclusion of the 2018 season. The Longhorns won that game 28-21, with Sam Ehlinger starting at quarterback for Texas and Jake Fromm starting for Georgia.

    This week's game features two quarterbacks with NFL aspirations, Quinn Ewers and Carson Beck. Their performance in this high-profile matchup could go a long way toward determining their draft stock as they profile as potential first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

    Stay tuned for more news on this colossal SEC matchup this coming Saturday.
