Sports world reacts to Texas' win over Arizona State in CFP

The second game of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff quarterfinals produced the format's first instant classic.

The Texas Longhorns built a 17-3 halftime lead on the Arizona State Sun Devils, but a furious fourth quarter comeback by Arizona State brought the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl down to the wire.

With the score tied at 24, Texas kicker Bert Auburn had a pair of late chances to put the Longhorns ahead. The first, with 1:39 remaining in regulation, sailed wide. The second hit the left upright as time expired.
