The television commentators for the Georgia-Texas game are Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst), Laura Rutledge (sideline) and Holly Rowe (sideline).
Texas holds a 4-2 series edge over Georgia. The Bulldogs beat Texas 30-15 in Austin earlier this season. Georgia head coach Kirby Smart is 1-1 in his UGA coaching career against the Longhorns.
“Their defense is one of the best in the country,” said Kirby Smart on Texas. “They’ve got explosive skill players. Did a tremendous job in the portal. Their quarterback is playing at a high level, and they’ve replaced a big group of backs. The backs they’ve got are doing a great job. So, all in all, should be an exciting, challenging SEC championship.”
ESPN’s “College GameDay” will be in Atlanta for the SEC championship. GameDay also attended the Georgia-Texas game earlier this season.
