00:00First game on Wednesday, Peach Bowl in Atlanta, Texas and Arizona State.

00:07This was 13 1⁄2 down to 12 1⁄2.

00:09I even saw a couple places at 11 1⁄2 for a little while as well.

00:15I've also noticed, Joe, and I'm sure you have too, that there's been a lot of chatter on

00:20this Arizona State side.

00:22They have been doing a lot of the talking.

00:25I saw Scatterboo say, nobody can stop me.

00:28He noted Dillingham.

00:29I don't think Dillingham really talks like we're going to win, but Dillingham is very

00:33loud and he's boisterous.

00:35Do they have a chance to hang within this number with Texas?

00:40I don't think so.

00:42I just think it's a terrible matchup for Arizona State because unlike Clemson, okay, which

00:48actually could throw the ball and did throw the ball with some success on Texas, Arizona

00:55State's all about running the rock.

00:58The problem is you're not running on this Texas defense who, by the way, allowed just

01:03104 rushing yards a game.

01:05That's 10th best in the country.

01:07By the way, the 13 teams that the Sun Devils actually faced this year, the average defensive

01:13rank of those 13 teams, 76th.

01:17Texas is the number three ranked defense in the country.

01:20You're not throwing on them and you certainly ain't beating them by passing on them.

01:27I don't like the matchup.

01:28I think it probably ends up under as it is, but I think it's the Texas defense that shows

01:34up and limits what Arizona State can do.

01:39I like the under as much as I like Texas to win this game.

01:43It's a rare in this bowl season, I guess you could say.

01:47It's kind of a rare under that jumped out to me.

01:50It just feels like a game that Texas, you know, if they, what that line is telling me

01:55is this Texas go win this game 31 10 or something like that.

02:00Like it feels like that's a type of game.

02:02Texas's defense is going to be the star of this game and yours is going to obviously

02:06do just enough as they usually do on offense to kind of win the day and it'll stay well

02:11under that 51 and a half while they're doing it and just not allowing a lot.

02:15I do think Texas wins and so do you.
