Georgia flexes its defensive muscles against Texas

The Georgia Bulldogs are halfway through their matchup with the Texas Longhorns. Here's how the match has developed so far.

The Georgia Bulldogs and Texas Longhorns are halfway through their big regular season duel. The Bulldogs are currently 23-0 in the locker room. With 30 minutes of play left, here's how the first half unfolded.

The Bulldogs' offense got off to a rough start, as two drops quickly led to a three-and-out. Luckily for the Dawgs, the defense held firm and forced a punt on Texas' first drive as well. An untimely pass from Beck would result in an interception for Texas, but Georgia's defense would once again stand firm and force another punt. The Bulldogs marched down the field into the Texas red zone on the ensuing drive, but a dropped pass led to another interception. The defense would save the Dawgs again with a massive fumble recovery. The Dawgs eventually turned the turnover into a touchdown and scored their first points of the game.

The second quarter began with the Dawgs' defense flexing its muscles again, forcing Texas to attempt a punt from its own defense. This gave Georgia excellent field position where they were eventually able to kick a field goal and extend their lead to 10-0. The Bulldogs' defense quickly gave them another scoring opportunity after a Daylen Everette interception gave them another short field and a Trevor Etienne touchdown extended Georgia's lead to 17-0. Another defensive stop would lead to another field goal by the Bulldogs and the Dawgs would extend their lead to 20 points.

Texas would call on backup quarterback Arch Manning in hopes of providing an offensive spark. Unfortunately, Manning couldn't get Texas any points and the Longhorns had to punt. With just under two minutes left in the half, Texas would have one last chance to put points on the board. Manning would eventually fumble and the ball would be recovered by Georgia's Jalon Walker. Georgia kicked a 44-yard field goal to end the half.

The Longhorns will receive the ball to start the second half. Stay tuned for more coverage of tonight's game.
