Matthew McConaughey wows the crowd before the big college football showdown between Georgia and Texas

Texas fanatic Matthew McConaughey is excited for tonight's crucial showdown with Georgia.

Before Saturday's big game, the acting legend took the field at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium and wowed the 100,000 spectators in the arena.

McConaughey is a Longhorns superfan who regularly finds himself on the sidelines supporting Steve Sarkisian's team.

The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (5-1) look to record their third straight win tonight, but standing in their way is the No. 1 Texas Longhorns, who are 6-0 so far this season.

Their clash in Texas is the biggest college football matchup of the weekend and a possible preview of the Southeastern Conference championship game or a College Football Playoff showdown.

Texas is undefeated halfway through its Southeastern Conference debut, with the best defense in the country, a pretty good offense and the No. 1 ranking that Georgia had at the beginning of this season.

“The most complete team we've seen or competed against this year, and probably in several years if you look at what they do,” Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said of the SEC rookie.

Fifth-ranked Georgia (5-1, 3-1 SEC), whose only three losses in the last four seasons have all come against Alabama, plays in Austin on Saturday night for the first time since 1958.

A top-five matchup with SEC and playoff implications pits Nick Saban's former coordinators, now two of the highest-paid head coaches in the country, against each other in Texas.

According to a USA Today salary database released this week, Kirby Smart, with 99 wins in nine seasons at Georgia, is paid the highest at nearly $13.3 million per year, and fourth-year Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is paid 10.6 million US dollars.

This will be the biggest challenge yet in their new league for the Longhorns (6-0, 2-0), who won 31-12 at defending national champion Michigan in Week 2. Georgia previously won two titles in a row.

“We respect them.” “We're not afraid of them,” Texans defenseman Jahdae Barron said of Georgia.
