The Texas Longhorns got embarrassed in the first half against the Georgia Bulldogs.
AUSTIN -- The Texas Longhorns got smacked in the first half against the Georgia Bulldogs in Austin on Saturday, which prompted an early quarterback change from head coach Steve Sarkisian.
The Bulldogs got the ball first but quickly punted. Texas managed to pick up a pair of first downs on its first drive before stalling out and punting it back. Once Georgia got the ball back, Longhorns safety Andrew Mukaba came up with one of the plays of the season so far for the Texas defense. The Bulldogs got the ball back and picked up chunks of yardage on a 21-yard catch from Lawson Luckie and an 18-yard run from Etienne. Beck then found Etienne for a 13-yard catch-and-run on 3rd and 9, but three plays later, the Longhorns came up with another takeaway. Luckie was unable to corral Beck's pass on 3rd and 8, allowing Jahdae Barron to come up with the tipped pass for a red zone turnover.
At the end of the first quarter, Matthew Golden had a 64-yard kickoff return but a holding penalty called it back. The Longhorns were then backed up in front of their own end zone and quickly went three-and-out. After the punt, Georgia started at the Texas 28-yard line following a 19-yard return.
