Unexpected Underdogs Set to Shock the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals—Who Will Rise?

Unexpected Underdogs Set to Shock the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals—Who Will Rise?

Is it reckless to make the same prediction twice? I really don’t think ASU will be able to Skattebo its way to glory against Texas. The Longhorns have a buttoned-up run defense that dominates week in and week out at the point of attack. The defensive line is so strong that the Horns have allowed a strong 34.9% run success rate and generated an elite 49.2% run disruption rate despite barely ever loading the box with extra players. Texas’ 30.6% heavy box percentage is among the lowest in the FBS. Tackles Alfred Collins and Vernon Broughton just do not get thrown off the line. Skattebo has run for at least 147 yards in four of his past five games, but Texas hasn’t let an individual back put more than 116 yards (as Florida’s Ja’Kobi Jackson did in Week 11) on them all season. Arizona State is going to need Leavitt to make some plays. Probably a lot of plays. With which receivers? Maybe Stovall, but it’s hard to say.
