The ASU football team has been spending its Christmas break getting ready to play on New Year’s Day in the Peach Bowl. And the Sun Devils now know it will be Texas they’ll be facing in Atlanta in the quarterfinals of college football’s new playoff tournament.
It’ll be a battle of new and old Big 12 champs with ASU winning the conference in its first season and the Longhorns having won it last year before leaving for the SEC.
ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham says this time of year has a different feel.
"And their guys play extremely hard. They have extremely good players that play extremely hard. Anybody who says it’s not chaos, is lying to you. The world we live in right now is chaos, but you embrace it, you know, respond to what’s pitched to you, or you’re not," Dillingham said.
Texas is fresh off a win over Clemson, while ASU will have nearly four weeks off between games after beating Iowa State in the Big 12 title game.
The Longhorns are listed as early 13 and a half point favorites.
