The Texas Longhorns are headed to the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl.
Texas grabbed a lead early and remained firmly ahead of No. 12 Clemson, taking a 38-24 victory over the Tigers to secure a date with Arizona State in the Peach Bowl.
The Longhorns produced 497 total yards and possessed the ball for 31:40. Clemson had a solid day offensively as well, producing 412 yards, but had no answer for the Longhorns rushing attack. The Tigers also struggled to capitalize in the red zone.
Jaydon Blue had 14 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Quintrevion Wisner had 15 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
The passing game was efficient, with Quinn Ewers going 17-of-24 for 202 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Fans took to social media to praise the Longhorns for the ranked win and to project their chances against Arizona State.
Clemson finishes the season 10-4 and will look to regroup in 2025 as the defending ACC Champions. Texas, meanwhile, has a lot of work to do.
The 12-2 Longhorns will face a Sun Devils squad that has won five straight games and has a star running back in Cam Skattebo. Arizona State also has some extra rest and have had some time to scout the Longhorns.
Still, Texas’ performance shows what it is capable of and that the Longhorns are a true threat to win the College Football Playoff.
