Texas edges Arizona State, reaches CFP semifinals with 2-OT win

ATLANTA -- Texas avoided the first big upset of the College Football Playoff, hitting a fourth-and-long touchdown pass to keep the game going and beating Arizona State 39-31 in double overtime when an interception by Andrew Makuba finally ended a Peach Bowl quarterfinal classic Wednesday.

Cam Skattebo led the Sun Devils back from a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter and put his team ahead for the first time all day with a 3-yard touchdown run to start overtime against No. 4 Texas (13-2).

No. 10 Arizona State -- a two-touchdown underdog -- was on the verge of winning when Texas faced fourth-and-13 on its first overtime possession.
