Georgia football is set to take on the Texas Longhorns in a rematch from earlier this season in the SEC Championship game. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs may have beat Texas by 15 points the first time around, but that all gets thrown out the window this weekend.

Can Georgia do what nobody thinks they can do and beat this Texas team for the second time this season? It won't be easy by any means, but if they are going to win then these three players need to have a big game.

1. Carson Beck

Carson Beck will always be the most important player for Georgia every game. He has had his fair share of struggles this season, which includes a three interception game against Texas in the first meeting, but recently he has really turned it around.

Beck has now gone three straight games without a turnover, and if he is able to do that again then Georgia will have a great chance at winning this game.

But this game will come down to his decision making. Yes he will need to make the big throws as well, but what will Beck do on broken plays or when the Texas defensive line is getting a lot of pressure? Will he make the smart play and throw the ball away or will he try to force the issue and turn the ball over like he did earlier this season?

If Beck can pair making the smart play with timely big throws, then Georgia will be in position to win this game.
