Over 100,000 roared in Austin as the College Football Playoff kicked off in the Lone Star State.

The Texas rushing attack was the loudest voice in the room, taking it to Clemson’s defense for three scores, holding a 28-10 lead at the half.

The Tigers appeared to secure momentum with a Hauser field goal to cut the lead to 11, but Quinn Ewers found Gunnar Helm for a 19-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 18 points.

A comeback for Clemson looks like a tall task, with the Longhorns strengthening their grip on a bid to Atlanta.
