00:00Texas was the largest favorite of the opening round DRS at home in Austin against Clemson.

00:05They won by 14. They cover as a 13.5 point favorite.

00:10A 13.5 point spread yesterday in Atlanta as well that saw a game go to double overtime,

00:18but eventually Texas outlasts ASU 39-31.

00:22The Sun Devils cover as a 13.5 point underdog.

00:26A total of 52 and a hook does sky over.

00:30DRS, this is our only game of the six college football playoff games

00:34we have now seen in the 12-team era decided by a single score.

00:38And ASU's comeback down by 24-8 midway through the fourth quarter

00:44to even force an extra session will be remembered in an instant classic yesterday in Atlanta.

00:52Yes, and most people are going to talk about Cam Scadaboo and rightfully so,

00:56throwing a long touchdown pass on a fourth down, which is an incredibly risky play call,

01:00which worked out would be fantastic and you're going to watch that play for years to come.

01:04Cam Scadaboo, 30 carries for 143, then adds and said,

01:07you know what, give me another eight catches for 99 yards in a single game and they lost.

01:11But also a lot of things get covered up in this one.

01:14Texas out quickly here, their first three touches of the football.

01:16They got two touchdowns, two plays on offense, one punt returns.

01:19Like, oh boy, Arizona State shouldn't be here.

01:21It's going to be a route, you know, thanks for coming fans,

01:23and away Texas goes into the next round.

01:25But also being covered up in this overtime.

01:28It's so much fun.

01:29Boy, you're going to rue the day, Arizona State, that you brought that zero blitz on fourth long,

01:33when maybe you should have played a little bit different defense to try to hang around

01:36and give yourself some help over the top.

01:38But credit Quinn Ewer says, I was very critical throughout that entire football game.

01:41It looked like they were actually avoiding him stepping up in the big moment

01:44and trying to hang on for a victory.

01:45It's not something you're supposed to do in a playoff environment.

01:48He was really good down the stretch, made the throws when he need to,

01:51and wound up with 322 yards and three touchdowns because he threw a couple in overtime.

01:56As the pressure mounted, he got better, which was good to see for Texas moving forward.

02:00But boy, oh boy, Arizona State, I think everybody watching that game,

02:03again, if you weren't a Longhorns fan or had a ticket on the Longhorns,

02:06you wanted one more round with Arizona State

02:08because of how much fun that football team looks like it was going to be.
