Georgia is back in the Sugar Bowl after falling to Texas last season in the same game. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs will look to bring home a win this time around. There’s a late 8:45 P.M. kickoff for this New Year’s Day game.
It should be a fun one. Baylor had the best defense in the Big 12 and Georgia had the best defense in the SEC. Expect a slugfest.

The Georgia Bulldogs checked in fifth in the final College Football Playoff rankings. Georgia will play seventh-ranked Baylor in the 2020 Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The game will be another late night kickoff: 8:45.
Both Georgia and Baylor lost in their respective conference championship games. The Baylor Bears put up more of a fight than Georgia did, but ultimately fell to Oklahoma 30-23 in overtime. Baylor will be very motivated for the Sugar Bowl, which is their best bowl game in a couple of years. The Bears lost in the 2015 Cotton Bowl to Michigan State and the 2014 Fiesta Bowl in their two most recent New Years’ bowl games.
Georgia must circle the wagons after their 37-10 blowout defeat in the SEC Championship to Joe Burrow and LSU’s unstoppable offense. Several NFL Draft-eligible Bulldogs (Andrew Thomas, D’Andre Swift) may sit out the game. Kirby Smart must get the team more motivated than last season and start a more successful 2019-2020 off-season the right way: with a win over Baylor.
Last season, Georgia lost in the SEC Championship to Alabama, finished fifth in the final College Football Playoff rankings and then lost to Texas 28-21 in the Sugar Bowl. It’d feel like the Dawgs made progress if they won the Sugar Bowl this time.

The College Football Playoff Committee released their top 25 last night with the Georgia Bulldogs checking in at number four. With rivalry week left in the season, fans can still put together some nightmare scenarios for the CFP Committee.
This scenario is far from a nightmare for the Georgia Bulldogs. UGA is a lock in this situation:
What four teams would you pick? I think these three are locks in this particular scenario:
1. Clemson
2. UGA
3. Minnesota
Beyond Minnesota, who’d feature wins over Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State, I think LSU would get the nod over Ohio State, Utah, Alabama and Baylor. It’d depend how the conference championship went. I’m assuming each championship game is close in this scenario. LSU has slightly better wins than Ohio State. Utah and Baylor’s soft non-conference schedules comes back to bite them. LSU’s head to head win over Alabama would be too much for the Crimson Tide to overcome.
The Texas Longhorns dropped another game against the Baylor Bears today, losing 24-10
Going into today’s matchup with Baylor, this was a chance to earn a little bit of redemption for the Longhorns. After an overall disappointing season, this was a chance for Texas to right the ship or show some progress. Instead, the Baylor Bears embarrassed the Longhorns. Though the score doesn’t imply a blowout, Texas was never in control and the lone touchdown on the day came in garbage time on a 4-yard Daniel Young run.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger finished the game with 22/37 passing for 200 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. He added 19 attempts on the ground for 79 yards in one of the worst performances of the year. Devin Duvernay picked up where he left off, catching 10 passes for 78 yards.
Texas played a sloppy game, reflected in the three unsportsmanlike penalties they accrued in the second half. Frustration is to be expected, but repeated offenses like that can call coaching into question.

The standout performer for the Longhorns was running back Keaontay Ingram, who finished the game with 7 rushes for 86 yards. Ingram came up with the best play of the game for Texas, and one of a very small handful of highlights. With 18 seconds before halftime, Texas was down 7-0 to the Baylor Bears and backed up to its own end zone. The Longhorns hand the ball off to Keaontay Ingram to run the clock down and head to the locker room, but Ingram takes it 68 yards into field goal range with 4 seconds on the clock. Check out the long run here:
After that long run put Texas in field goal range, Cameron Dicker hit the field goal to put points on the board and head into the locker room down 7-3:

Texas Longhorns DB DeMarvion Overshown will not return
In a tough game for Texas, the hits just keep on coming. Earlier, Keaontay Ingram got injured on what would be the best play of the game for the Longhorns’ offense. Ingram injured his ankle and will not return. Now, DB DeMarvion Overshown is also out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury.

Texas hasn’t gotten anything going, and Baylor is having it’s way with the Longhorns, as the Bears lead 24-3 in the fourth quarter. If you aren’t doing anything anyway and want to check out the end of the game, Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream.
Injury Alert: Texas RB Keaontay Ingram out for the remainder of the Baylor game
More unfortunate news for the Texas Longhorns. On his 68-yard run to put Texas in field goal range at the end of the first half, Keaontay Ingram injured his ankle and Texas announced that he will not return to the game. Roschon Johnson is used to stepping up, so hopefully he can provide the energy the Longhorns need to come back from a two-score deficit in the second half.

A win here against the Bears gives Texas something to build on going forward and represents some movement in the right direction after a season that has not gone according to plan. Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream the game.
Watch: Cameron “Dicker the kicker” puts the Longhorns on the board with last-second field goal
Texas didn’t play a great first half. The offense never got into rhythm, and continuously stalled on drive after drive. Keaontay Ingram put the team on his back as he gashed the Baylor defense for 68-yards to give Cameron Dicker (the kicker) a shot to put the Longhorns on the board. Dicker predictably knocks it through, and Texas heads into the locker room for the half down 7-3 to the Baylor Bears.

Texas Longhorns RB Keaontay Ingram gives Texas the spark it needed, getting into field goal range with seconds left
The Longhorns really needed this. With 18 seconds before halftime, Texas was down 7-0 to the Baylor Bears and backed up to its own end zone. The Longhorns hand the ball off to Keaontay Ingram to run the clock down and head to the locker room, but Ingram takes it 68 yards into field goal range with 4 seconds on the clock.

Watch: Sam Ehlinger somehow slips out of would-be safety and throws for a first down
Sam Ehlinger is a mad man. As Texas trails by one score to Baylor in the second quarter, the Longhorns’ offense is in desperate need of a spark. Fortunately, Sam Ehlinger has delivered those time after time. Here, as Texas is backed up into their endzone, Baylor sends heat on a delayed blitz but can’t take down the Longhorns’ QB. Ehlinger slips out of the tackle and delivers a strike through the hit to Malcolm Epps for the first down.
