Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart and his players didn’t appear to be in any rush, however, as they entered through the tunnel and walked the length of the field on the sideline to avoid the Texas players warming up.

The No. 5-ranked Georgia football program kicks off against the No 15 Longhorns at 8:45 p.m. (eastern time) in the Sugar Bowl.
