2. Take the crowd out of the game early

This key usually goes without ssaying, but in a game with this magnitude it needs to be stressed.

The Texas Longhorns' crowd will be loud, especially at the beginning of the game. That is what happens when you are the visiting team in a top five matchup with College GameDay on campus. This isn't new to Georgia because the exact same scenario happened earlier this season when UGA traveled to Alabama. I think we all remember how that game began.

The Tide held a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and throughout that entire start from Alabama their home crowd grew louder with each minute that passed. This slow start, and their crowd that direcetly impacted that, is the reason this deficit was too much for Georgia to overcome.

So Georgia needs to start fast not only so they don't fall behind by a large margin once again, but so they can take the Texas crowd out of the game early.
