The Longhorns are no longer undefeated.

No. 1 Texas couldn't overcome a poor first-half performance against No. 5 Georgia on Saturday night, losing by a final score of 30-15.

Quinn Ewers struggled with turnovers throughout the game, as he threw an interception and fumbled the ball twice in the first quarter.

The Longhorns were down 20-0 early with Ewers still in the game, prompting head coach Steve Sarkisian to briefly bring substitute Arch Manning into the game. Manning also couldn't find a rhythm in the pocket against Georgia's defense, completing three of his six throws for 19 yards.

It was Ewers after all put back into the game to start the second half. He finished 25 of 43 for 211 yards and two touchdowns, accompanied by three turnovers, as fans lamented his struggles.

I've seen enough of Quinn Ewers over the last two seasons to know that he's not really a guy. Arch Manning is the better player man. It's so obvious!

Roosh @Roosh Williams

I like Quinn Ewers a lot, but his inability to run, throw on the run, and be effective without a clean pocket is so hard to overcome at times

Robert Griffin III @RGIII

Texas PUT QUINN EWERS ON THE BENCH?!?!?!

Wilson @TitansTalkGuy

Quinn Ewers is not a high-level college starter, let alone an NFL starter.
He's not good enough…

Joe Fortenbaugh @Joe Fortenbaugh

I can't stay with Ewers anymore. The biggest game of the season, on home turf, and he was nowhere to be found. His floor may be higher than Manning's, but Texas doesn't win a title with a QB on a high floor.

Texas began to gain some momentum in the third quarter and scored on the team's first possession of the second half. The Longhorns were able to cut the deficit to 23-15 controversial pass interference ruling on an interception, but they were unable to get closer to the Bulldogs for the rest of the contest.

Georgia scored a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, again extending its lead to double digits and securing the victory.

The Bulldogs overcame a subpar performance from Carson Beck, who passed for just 175 yards and threw three interceptions.

In addition to Ewers, the fans also criticized the entire team.

Nash @NashTalksTexas

It's hard to blame the defense when the only points come from the offense, which gives Georgia the damn ball in the redzone

Brandon Adams @DawgNationDaily

Georgia entered No. 1 Texas in front of the largest crowd in their stadium's history, cheering them endlessly. The only time the Longhorns showed fight was by throwing trash on their field. How about the buddies!!!

That's all I'll say about Texas.
Welcome to the SEC, baby! 👍🏻

Texas and Georgia now have identical 6-1 records after Saturday's result.
