Texas Longhorns Peach Bowl Betting Online
Last week, the Texas Longhorns hosted the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Texas made history with an impressive win. Although the Longhorns controlled most of the game, they allowed Clemson to flirt with a comeback bid. But when it mattered most, with the game and season on the line, the Longhorns delivered. Now comes a virtual wild card matchup with the upstart Arizona Sun Devils, who are coming off a bye following their win in the Big 12 Championship Game against the Iowa State Cyclones.

The Texas Longhorns have won their first-ever College Football Playoff game.
Coming off of a loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas desperately wanted to make a statement that they were, without a doubt, one of the best teams in the country.
And on Saturday afternoon in Austin, that's exactly what they did, taking down the Clemson Tigers 38-24 to advance to the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff.
To start the game, the Horns looked a bit scared, with Clemson marching down the field for a touchdown on its first drive and taking a 7-0 lead.
However, the Longhorns answered the bell in a huge way after that, scoring 21 straight points to take a commanding lead in the second quarter. They would end up going into the locker room at halftime with a 28-10 lead and receiving the ball to start the second half.
Then, it was Clemson's turn to answer the bell, with Cade Klubnik dicing up the Texas defense in the third and early fourth quarters to pull the Tigers back within one score at 31-24.
Texas extended its lead back to two scores, 38-24, with a 77-yard Jaydon Blue touchdown run, but the Tigers weren't done.
On the next drive, Klubnik was right back at it, completing multiple passes down the field to put the Tigers back into scoring position. Just a couple of plays later, however, the Horns' defense finally rose to the occasion, stopping the Tigers on 4th and goal and ostensibly sealing the win.

Texas has a total of four claimed and five unclaimed national championships. Their last title was in 2005, which was their first since 1970. This stunning fact indicates a good program but hardly the juggernaut it considers itself to be. Texas has an impressive 32 conference championships.
Former head coach Mack Brown showed the potential of the Texas program. Brown led the Longhorns to the 2005 and 2009 national championship games. From 2001 through 2009, Brown led Texas to the final top ten national rankings six times.
Following a loss in the 2009 national championship game to the Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas rapidly declined and has never been close to reaching that level. Brown vehemently denies it, but the program turned soft in his final years. A sense of entitlement took over the program. In fact, Texas began being derided as the “tea sippers.”
Texas dominated the Big 12 Conference board room, which led to that sense of entitlement. ESPN gave the Longhorns their own network, and the Big 12 caved to almost all of the Longhorns' demands. It caused karma that damaged the program and removed its hard edge.
