Texas then extended its lead with another field goal from Bert Auburn. Georgia's offense struggled to get going against the fierce Texas defense, managing only 9 yards on 7 plays. But then, Trevor Etienne had a powerful 10-yard touchdown run to give Georgia the lead. However, Texas' defense came up with a big stop on Georgia's next drive, forcing a fumble. It was a back-and-forth battle with both teams having their chances.
As the game continued, Texas' offense showed some big plays. Quinn Ewers launched a bomb to Matthew Golden for a 50-yard gain. Texas also converted on a 4th down with a Jaydon Blue run. But Georgia's new quarterback, Gunner Stockton, was leading the team on its best drive of the game so far. It was a thrilling contest with both teams fighting for every inch.
