Peach Bowl Lines - College Football Playoff Quarterfinal
The Arizona State Sun Devils are the surprise team of college football. At the start of the season, nobody had Arizona State on their list for the College Football Playoff. But second-year head coach Kenny Dillingham has engineered one of the best coaching performances in recent memory. Dillingham, age 34, has emerged as one of the bright new minds in the game. On January 1, the Sun Devils and their brilliant coach will face a stark reality check in the Peach Bowl against the Texas Longhorns. Texas is coming off an impressive win over Clemson in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
