Well, that prediction everyone made at the beginning of the season is finally here, and Texas Football will take the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship this weekend.

Who would have thought the Longhorns would have made it to the Championship game in the first year of being in the SEC? It would be a giant momentum swing heading into the College Football Playoffs this year. The winner of this game will likely get a bye week while the loser hosts a game.

There could be some random statlines that you'll see by the end of the championship game this weekend. There's that possibility Arch Manning could have some rushing yards against the Bulldogs. Quintrevion Wisner could have over 200 yards rushing this weekend.

The Longhorns' secondary could have a ton of interceptions, while the defensive line has multiple sacks. Here are four bold predictions Longhorns fans could see this Saturday in the SEC Championship game.

Bold predictions for Texas football vs. Georgia in the SEC Championship Game: 4. Quintrevion Wisner rushes for over 200 yards

Sophomore running back Quintrevion Wisner rushed for over 180 yards against the Aggies last weekend in College Station. If the Longhorns want to beat the Bulldogs this weekend, he's got to do better than that.

That's why my first bold prediction is Wisner will rush for over 200 yards against the Bulldogs. Wisner's ability to read blocks and find running lanes has improved throughout the season. Expect him to play a massive role in the Longhorns running game this weekend.

3. Arch Manning gets playing time this week

This bold prediction might shock some fans, so hold on to your cowboy hats. My second bold prediction is that we could see Arch Manning get some playing time against the Bulldogs this weekend.

After seeing how well he ran for a touchdown last weekend in College Station, Steve Sarkisian might use Manning like Lamar Jackson this weekend. It would bring a massive change to the offensive scheme. Having Manning use his legs this weekend might help the Longhorns beat the Bulldogs.

2. Longhorns defense gets multiple interceptions

The Longhorns' secondary will play a key role in upsetting the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game this weekend. My third bold prediction is that the Longhorns will have four to five interceptions this weekend against the Bulldogs.

They had amazing coverage against an Aggies team that loved to pass the ball last weekend. They will make the same effort against a pass-heavy Georgia team. The only way to stop Georgia's offense is to take the ball out of their hands, and the secondary should do that.

1. Longhorns have another sack party

The Longhorns have been ferocious in getting to the opposing team's quarterback this season. Last weekend in College Station, Marcel Reed was running for his life. My last bold prediction is that the Longhorns will have upwards of seven sacks this weekend against Georgia.

The only way Texas will beat Georgia is if they can slow down Carson Beck from making lethal passes downfield. The Longhorns' defensive line can play a huge role in winning the SEC Championship this weekend.
