Texas led 31-10 in the third quarter, but needed a late touchdown to pull away for the win.

Quinn Ewers has completed 66.5% of his passes for 2,867 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, while Matthew Golden has caught 49 passes for 787 yards and eight scores this year.
Arizona State Sun Devils Betting Preview
The Arizona State Sun Devils are 11-2 (7-2) this year and they had a bye in the first round of the CFP. Arizona State is coming off of a win against Iowa State by a score of 45-19 in their last game. Arizona State was tied at 10 in the second quarter, but they scored the next 35 points to pull away for the win. The Sun Devils out gained Iowa State by a total of 467-341, won the turnover battle 3-0, and went 5-12 on third down in the game. Sam Leavitt threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns, while Cam Skattebo rushed for 170 yards and two scores in the game.
Arizona State also has wins over Wyoming, Mississippi State, Texas State, Kansas, Utah, Oklahoma State, UCF, Kansas State, BYU, and Arizona. The ASU offense has scored 34.5 points per game with 224.4 passing yards and 198.8 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 21.3 points against per game this season. Sam Leavitt has completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,663 yards, 24 touchdowns, and five interceptions, while Cam Skattebo has rushed for 1,568 yards and 19 scores this year.
Texas vs Arizona State Prediction
Texas controlled their first round matchup against Clemson for most of the game, but they did allow 24 points and the offense had some struggles in the second half. The Longhorns should be able to move the ball against this Arizona Sate defense, but I also think ASU will move the ball. Arizona State has one of the best running backs in the country, which really opens up the passing attack. I think we are going to see another higher scoring game here, so I like the over.
