The Texas Longhorns enter the Peach Bowl with a 12-2 record and aspirations of advancing to the College Football Playoff semifinals. Led by head coach Steve Sarkisian, the Longhorns have displayed a balanced and explosive offense throughout the season. Quarterback Quinn Ewers has been the centerpiece of Texas’ attack, throwing for over 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns while showcasing his ability to make plays under pressure. Wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington have been instrumental in stretching the field, combining for over 1,800 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. Running back Jonathon Brooks has added over 1,100 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, providing a reliable complement to the passing game. Defensively, Texas has been dominant against the run, allowing fewer than 100 rushing yards per game. Linebackers Jaylan Ford and Anthony Hill Jr. lead the charge, excelling at stopping the run and disrupting opposing offenses. The defensive line, featuring Alfred Collins and Barryn Sorrell, has been effective in generating pressure, contributing to a high sack total. The secondary, led by Ryan Watts, has been opportunistic, recording key interceptions in critical moments. Special teams have been a consistent strength for Texas, with kicker Bert Auburn converting over 90% of his field goals and punter Ryan Sanborn excelling at pinning opponents deep. In this matchup, Texas will look to utilize their balanced offense and dominant run defense to neutralize Arizona State’s strengths. With a semifinal berth on the line, the Longhorns are poised to deliver a disciplined and comprehensive performance.
