Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl predictions: Texas vs. Arizona State
USA TODAY: Texas over No. 4 Arizona State
Paul Myerberg writes: “Again, Texas benefits from landing in the No. 5 seed. Arizona State enters the postseason on a six-game winning streak thanks to the backfield pairing of quarterback Sam Leavitt and running back Cam Skattebo. This is a different level of challenge than the Big 12 for the Sun Devils, who will need another herculean effort from the latter to loosen up the Longhorns’ defense and score what would be a significant upset.”
ESPN: Texas 33, Arizona State 20
Adam Rittenberg writes: “Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has been effective against defenders not wearing Georgia uniforms, and coach Steve Sarkisian also has Arch Manning at his disposal. Sarkisian will employ a safe and effective passing game against an ASU defense that has 15 interceptions but can be susceptible through the air. Texas’ defense and Ewers’ efficiency will be the difference as the Longhorns move on.”
CBS Sports: Arizona State
Staff writes: “Texas is one of the most solid teams in college football, but the Longhorns have struggled to pull away from opponents all season, especially away from home. Since the Oklahoma game, Texas has outscored opponents by an average of just 5.1 points per game, excluding a blowout win over Florida’s third-string quarterback. That stretch includes a 10-point win against Arkansas and a three-point victory over Vanderbilt. Texas is likely to win the battle in the trenches, but Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo should keep this matchup close late into the fourth quarter.”
