Three of the 5 previous Georgia-Texas games have been bowl matchups, including the last 2 — the 1984 Cotton Bowl and the 2019 Sugar Bowl. Georgia’s lone win in the series came in that ’84 Cotton Bowl 10-9, while Texas won the ’19 Sugar Bowl 28-21.
They also met in the 1949 Orange Bowl with the Longhorns winning 41-28. The other 2 meetings involved a home-and-home in 1957-58.
The only documented gambling odds we could find in the series involved the 2019 meeting in New Orleans when Texas won outright as a 12.5-point underdog.
