00:00Texas remains the elite defense. Georgia has struggled mightily. More than 530 yards allowed

00:10against Georgia Tech last weekend. More than 200 on the ground. UGA is allowing 136 rushing

00:17yards per game. That is the worst they have been in a long time. They are allowing 20.5

00:24points per game. It's the first time a Dodge defense has surrendered 20 plus points per game

00:30since 2018. And I'm not even sure the Longhorns right now are the offense to take advantage of it,

00:36but Contravion Weissner has taken over as the lead back. He has been career best in the last

00:42two weeks as we saw against A&M. And if Quinn Ewers, unlike the first go around against UGA,

00:49or even unlike last week in College Station, can play clean football, I think Texas wins the SEC

00:56championship and covers as a two and a half point favorite tomorrow afternoon in Atlanta.

01:02Yeah, listen, second ranked scoring defense in all of college football, giving up 11.7

01:10points per game. This Texas defense is no joke. It was not the Texas defense fault the first go

01:17around. They didn't give up 30 points. They were put in ridiculous spots and short fields

01:23in that first half. And that it was kind of the difference because what they did in the second

01:27half was pretty, I think, telling of what we can expect here. We were just talking, Ben,

01:33and I think I love the under here at 49 and a half and 50. I even love the first half under,

01:40I think. Points, turnovers, I think all of that gets cleaned up. I think this game is really

01:46tight early on. I do think the scoring is coming in the second half, which will decide it. But

01:5224 and a half in the first half is the total. I think we go woefully under that. This has got

01:5810-7 written all over it at the break.
