Texas vs Arizona State: Why This Matchup is Better for the Longhorns Than Facing Clemson

The Texas Longhorns advanced to the College Football Playoff quarter-finals, where they’ll face Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Is this matchup better for the Horns than the previous first-round matchup against the Clemson Tigers?

Gerald Goodridge (@ghgoodridge) - I think so. This is an offense that works primarily through its running game and is also missing its top receiver. I think the Texas defense is going to be head and shoulders better than any they’ve seen thus far this year and Pete Kwiatkowski’s best asset as a defensive coordinator is his ability to highlight what an opponent wants to do and scheme it out of the game.
