Longhorns Wire staff predictions for Texas Football at Georgia Bulldogs

Three games. That’s what’s left of the Texas Longhorns season. And Texas will be the underdog in two of those three games. If the college football playoffs started now, Texas would be in the bracket. Will the Longhorns be in the bracket after the next three games?

The first test could be the toughest. Texas travels to Athens to play the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs. The good news is, this will be UT’s last road game of the season. The bad news is, Texas has struggled on the road all season. Georgia is by far the best SEC team Texas has faced this season and the Bulldogs have had Texas’ number since UT joined the SEC.

But Texas is trending up. Quarterback Arch Manning has shown a lot of growth as the season has progressed and the offense has looked better. The defense has had bend but don’t break mentality that has kept UT in some games that could’ve gotten out of hand when the was offense struggling.

Have the Longhorns improved enough to score a huge upset on Saturday? We’ll see “Between the Hedges” this weekend. If Texas does win this game, the chances of the CFP become much greater. But if Texas loses in Athens, then the Horns would have to win out just to have a chance, and even then they would need some help.

Tommy Bresee Prediction:

Texas heads into their 5th true road trip of the year, with a 2-2 record thus far. The Longhorns have yet to play a complete game on the road and doing it at night In Athens will not be easy. Arch Manning seems to be hitting his stride, the defense is getting healthy at the right time so there is plenty of reasons for optimism in this game.

However, I continue to come back to what Kirby Smart, Glenn Schumann and the Georgia defense was capable of doing to the Texas offense a year ago. I don’t see the Longhorns being able to run the ball consistently and while I believe Arch will make some incredible plays, it won’t be enough to keep up with the Georgia offense. I expect a defensive battle, but I’ll take the Bulldogs to get the win at home.

Final score: Georgia 24, Texas 20

Jamie Gatlin Prediction:

Following their bye week, the Longhorns are back in action on Saturday against Georgia. Entering this matchup, Texas has been on fire against SEC teams, but the Bulldogs will be the biggest test yet. Georgia is currently ranked fifth in the country and has one loss.

For the Longhorns to pull off an upset, they will need a big game from Arch Manning and the defense. This game will come down to the fourth quarter.

Final score: Texas 27, Georgia 20

Trey Luerssen Prediction:

If Texas is to make the CFP, the Longhorns really need to win this game. But it won’t be easy by any means.

Last year, an argument could be made that Texas was the better team. The Longhorns made it to the semifinals of the college football playoff. Georgia crashed out in the quarterfinals to Notre Dame, despite having a first round bye. And yet, the Bulldogs still beat UT twice. UGA had Texas’ number.

So far in 2025, the Bulldogs have been the much better team. Georgia is 92% to make the playoff, while the Longhorns are just a 49% chance. No to mention, this game is in Athens. Texas has never played at Georgia and the Longhorns haven’t looked very good on the road in any game this season. They struggled at Kentucky and Mississippi State and lost to a Florida team that fired its coach two weeks later.

It is hard to logically pick Texas.

Final score: Georgia 35, Texas 24
