When the No. 2 Washington Huskies and the No. 3 Texas Longhorns face off in the Sugar Bowl for a shot in the CFP Final, it will be the second time in just over a year that the two squads have faced off in the postseason.
In the 2022 edition of the Alamo Bowl, Washington managed to hold off a late push from Texas — who had the ball down one score with time left on the clock. The Longhorns fought to the final whistle, closing the game with a 46-yard fourth-down conversion from Quinn Ewers to Casey Cain, trying to pop an explosive play and send the game to overtime.
