Live college football scores, games, updates: Georgia at Texas, LSU at Arkansas and more

Week 8 is a big week for the SEC.

In the first of the evening’s top two matchups, No. 11 Tennessee overcame a difficult start to beat No. 7 Alabama 24-17. We’ll see if No. 1 Texas can defend its home in tonight’s showdown with No. 5 Georgia.

In another game, Brady Cook suffered an early injury before leading No. 19 Missouri to a win over Auburn in a tough performance. Also broken on Saturday: Travis Hunter. Colorado’s two-way star left at halftime after re-injuring his shoulder, but the Buffaloes didn’t need him for a stunning win over Arizona.

Reigning national champion Michigan suffered its third loss of the season, falling to No. 22 Illinois 21-7.

There’s still plenty of worthwhile action on Saturday evening. Here are the games we’ll be watching closely.

Time: 7 p.m. | TV: ESPN | Line: LSU -3 | Overall: 55.5

This three-point line is no coincidence. The last four games of this series were decided by exactly three points. The Razorbacks are playing their third straight opponent after losing to Texas A&M and beating Tennessee. LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier had his toughest game of the season in the Tigers’ OT win over Ole Miss in Week 7, but it was still a win thanks to the Tigers’ defense.

Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas -4.5 | Overall: 55.5

Georgia’s second big road test of the season is the most important game of the weekend. The top-ranked Longhorns earned a blowout win over Oklahoma in Quinn Ewers’ first start since Week 3. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Georgia needs Carson Beck’s best game of the season to get the win. Ewers became more comfortable as the Oklahoma game progressed, but Texas’ biggest strength was its running game.
