Texas vs. Arizona State live updates: Sun Devils take 3-0 lead on first drive
ATLANTA — After notching the program’s first College Football Playoff win against the Clemson Tigers 11 days ago, the No. 3 Texas Longhorns are in Atlanta for the Peach Bowl against the No. 12 Arizona State Sun Devils with the winner advancing to the semifinals in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10.
Favored by 13.5 points, the Horns are heavy favorites for a reason — they have significant advantages in size, athleticism, length, and depth over a Sun Devils program that head coach Kenny Dillingham is still building in his second season. The improvement in the second season from Arizona State has been remarkable going from 3-9 and picked last in the Big 12 preseason poll to Big 12 champions at 11-2.
