The Texas Longhorns have gotten off to a hot start to begin their Peach Bowl matchup this afternoon against the Arizona State Sun Devils.
After seeing Arizona State drive down for a field goal on the opening drive of the game, Quinn Ewers and company did not waste much time responding. They went down the field for 77 yards on just two plays to score an opening drive touchdown.
Ewers capped off the impressive two-play drive with a 23-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr.
