Texas gaining ground on Georgia in latest US LBM Coaches Poll

Texas is closing in on Georgia…

Week 3 of the college football season has come to an end. While the UCLA Bruins fell in the Big Ten opener at home against Indiana, there were some other surprising outcomes, including Georgia’s one-point win over Kentucky in Lexington.

Arch Manning also saw extended playing time for Texas with Quinn Ewers leaving with an injury, and the highly-touted signal-caller impressed.

On Sunday, the latest US LBM Coaches Poll was released. While Georgia is still at the top, Texas is catching up and is right behind the Bulldogs for the top spot.

Here are the full results from the poll.
