re: My thoughts on Texas from the Sugar Bowl

quote:

---

1. Tom Herman is a big game coach and loves to be the underdog. They'll be locked in and ready to go.

2. Their defense was physical at the line of scrimmage.

3. Ehlinger is good but overrated. He only threw for 169yds and I don't think Texas had a play that went over 15yds all night.

4. UGA apathy won Texas the game

I know, it's an excuse, but anyone watching could tell the Bulldogs were 100% checked out. The team's season was over after the SEC championship. It's not the Longhorn's fault that we weren't ready, but it's the truth. Also keep in mind that Texas only scored 18 points offenisvely. In addition, we were missing 4 starters on defense. Their other points came from turnovers and our punter accidentally taking a knee.

Agree. Give Texas credit for coming to play and winning, but Georgia clearly didn’t want to be there and were lethargic.
