Texas delivers a message with dominant performance against Georgia
NEW ORLEANS - About 45 minutes before kickoff of Tuesday night's Allstate Sugar Bowl, Bevo XV got a little aggressive.
As his handlers tried to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the Uga X, the 62-pound English bulldog that serves as Georgia's live mascot, Bevo sent all 1,600 of his pounds forward, over some metal barriers toward Uga before eventually being stopped.
The show of excitement by Texas' mascot turned out to be sign of things to come.
Between the white lines, the No. 15 Longhorns mimicked Bevo's mojo, taking it right to the No. 5 Georgia in a 28-21 win at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
