Inside the Numbers: Sacks, penalties rob another all-time defensive performance by Texas against Georgia

The Texas Longhorns had a shot at revenge, but once again couldn’t get out of their own way enough to salvage an all-time great defensive performance, falling to the Georgia Bulldogs in overtime of the SEC Championship game.

The nuanced takes of both the game and the season are tough to take in, especially in the heightened emotional state following a frustrating loss. Four years ago, Texas followed the announcement of its move to the SEC with a 5-7 season and folks questioning whether or not they could compete. Coming out of the first regular season in the SEC, the Longhorns lost one regular season game and were within a possession of winning the conference championship.
