Episode Synopsis


Texas wins an instant classic in the best game of the new 12 team college football playoff.

Cam Skattebo was the best player on the field for either team amassing almost 300 yards of total offense. But the historic effort wasn't quite enough to overcome the Longhorns.

Sam Levitt had a gritty performance with some key scrambles to bring the Sun Devils back and tie the game in the fourth quarter an send it to OT.

ASU won the time of possession by 15 mins, had 12 more first downs and 135 more yards of offense, and out rushed the Longhorns 214 yards to 53.

But the box score doesn't always tell the true story of the game. Every yard the Sun Devils gained looked like a struggle. When Texas scored it was fast and fluid with minimal resistance, non more evident than the game winning touchdown on the first play of the second overtime.

As of the time I am writing this description the Buckeyes are blowing out the Ducks by 31 points in the first half of the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl is delayed until Jan 2nd.

Texas vs ASU has been the only competitive game of the first two rounds of the playoff so far.
