Trevor Etienne rushed for three touchdowns as No. 5 Georgia built a 23-point lead en route to a 30-15 win at No. 1 Texas in Austin in Southeastern Conference play Saturday.

Carson Beck completed 23 of 41 attempts for 175 yards and threw three interceptions for the Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC), who won their third straight.

Georgia's defense was dominant throughout, recording seven sacks and limiting Texas to just 29 rushing yards on 27 carries. Jalon Walker was the star, recording a game-high three sacks and a team-high eight tackles for the Bulldogs.

Quinn Ewers completed 25 of 43 passes for 211 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for Texas (6-1, 2-1). Arch Manning entered briefly in the second quarter, completing 3 of 6 passes for 19 yards.

Trailing 23-0, Texas cracked the scoreboard on its opening drive of the second half, as Ewers found Isaiah Bond on a 2-yard score with 10:57 left in the third quarter. Ewers then found Bond over the middle for a successful two-point conversion.

After Georgia punted and Texas turned the ball over on downs, Beck's pass was intercepted by Jahdae Barron (two interceptions), who returned the ball to the Georgia 9-yard line. After the pick was initially called off due to a pass interference, a lengthy delay followed due to debris thrown on the field by Texas fans.

The delay gave officials time to wave off the flag. Two plays later, Ewers found Jaydon Blue (game-high seven catches) for a 17-yard touchdown, cutting Texas' deficit to 23-15 with 2:12 left in the third quarter.

Georgia answered with an 11-play, 89-yard drive -- highlighted by Beck's 43-yard pass to Oscar Delp -- that was capped by Etienne's 1-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-1 with 12:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs defense suffocated Texas the rest of the way, forcing a Ewers fumble on a strip-sack and two turnovers on downs on the final three Longhorns drives.

After each team punted on its opening possession, Beck's pass was intercepted by Andrew Mukuba. Texas then punted again, before Beck threw his second interception, this time to Barron on the Longhorns' 5-yard line.

On the ensuing drive, Ewers was strip-sacked by Daylen Everette, who recovered the fumble on Texas' 13-yard line.

Etienne, who rushed 19 times for a game-high 87 yards, then ran in a 2-yard score to give Georgia a 7-0 lead with six seconds left in the opening quarter.

After another Texas punt, Peyton Woodring's 33-yard field goal extended Georgia's lead to 10-0 at the 10:46 mark of the second quarter. On the next drive, Ewers' pass was intercepted by Everette, leading to Etienne's 15-yard touchdown run with 8:30 left in the second quarter.

Woodring tacked on a 48-yard field goal at the 4:43 mark. On Texas' final drive of the half, Manning fumbled, leading to Woodring's 44-yard field goal as time expired.
