ATLANTA — Cam Skattebo, his voice raw and weary, kept repeating the word over and over again: “Undeniable.” This season, this game, this Arizona State team … undeniable.
Skattebo and the rest of his Sun Devil brethren had just come up on the losing end of one of the finest games of the 2024 college football season, a playoff quarterfinal where Arizona State took Texas to the limit and beyond.
Yes, the Sun Devils lost to Texas, 39-31, in double overtime. The Longhorns move on, the Sun Devils head home. But the Peach Bowl marked an unlikely, glorious culmination of a magical season for Arizona State, the kind of season you hope for and dream about, the kind of season you’ll talk about for decades to come.
