Texas capitalizes on controversial call reversal to cut Georgia lead to eight points

A wild scene in the third quarter in Austin on Saturday night.

It appeared as if Texas had intercepted Carson Beck for the third time.

However, a penalty flag for pass interference led to a storm of water bottles being thrown on the field from the Texas student section delaying the game with Georgia.

However, while the field was being cleaned and Texas coach Steve Sarkisian pleaded with the students to sop throwing bottles, officials got together and what came out of it was the referee saying the Jahdae Barron interception was good and it was Texas football at the Georgia nine.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart was ballistic after the reversal.

Quinn Ewers, back in after being replaced by Arch Manning in the second quarter, threw a touchdown pass to Jaydon Blue.

Georgia led 23-15 and was driving after a flea flicker worked for 43 yards at the end of the third quarter.
