History doesn’t favor the No. 2 Texas Longhorns in their rematch with the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday — in five of the seven previous rematches in the game, the winner of the first game took home the conference title.

That means running the football more effectively and reducing the communication errors and other assorted mistakes that led to seven sacks by the Bulldogs.
