In one of the most thrilling and high-stakes games of the Steve Sarkisian era, the Texas Longhorns managed to edge out a 39-31 victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils on Wednesday in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
A dramatic comeback by the Sun Devils, combined with missed opportunities by the Longhorns, forced the game into overtime as heart rates throughout Burnt Orange Nation soared. Quarterback Quinn Ewers delivered a season-saving touchdown on 4th and 13, connecting with wide receiver Matthew Golden after calling an audible at the line. In the second overtime, Ewers struck quickly with a pass to tight end Gunnar Helm, and the defense followed up with a game-sealing interception to secure the victory.
