With everyone watching this game, there has already been a spotlight on Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck in primetime this season. On Saturday night, there will be a massive spotlight on Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers. This will be the second game for his since returning from injury.

Against the Oklahoma Sooners, he completed 20-of-29 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. If Texas were to lose this matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs because of a poor performance by Ewers, there could be a quarterback controversy for head coach Steve Sarkisian to deal with. Arch Manning is backing up Quinn Ewers and both quarterbacks are capable of getting the job done.
