The University of Texas announced Friday that its live mascot, Bevo, will be in attendance for the College Football Playoff semifinal game against Ohio State at the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10.

Bevo, who is a type of cattle called a Texas longhorn, was not permitted to be on the sidelines for Wednesday's Peach Bowl against Arizona State at Mercedes Benz-Stadium in Atlanta.

The Peach Bowl released a statement in advance of the game, noting that there was "not enough room" for Bevo on the sidelines, and that the safety of Bevo, the players and everyone else involved with the game was being prioritized.
