The No. 5 Texas Longhorns are heading back to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Day hoping the matchup with the No. 4 Arizona State Sun Devils goes better than their last trip to Georgia, a loss to the home-state Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game.
The Sun Devils, picked to finish last in the preseason Big 12 polls, earned a bye thanks to blowing out the Iowa State Cyclones in the conference title game to cap off an unlikely championship season.
Now, with extra time to prepare, they look to knock off a Longhorns team coming off of a relatively stress-free win over the Clemson Tigers in the opening round.
