In a recent episode of “The Joel Klatt Show,” college football analyst Joel Klatt provided an in-depth preview of the upcoming College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchup between the Texas Longhorns and the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Klatt highlighted Texas’s formidable rushing attack, which played a pivotal role in their victory over Clemson in the first round of the playoffs. He emphasized the challenge Arizona State faces in attempting to contain this aspect of Texas’s offense, noting that the Sun Devils’ defense will need to perform at a level comparable to Georgia’s to effectively limit the Longhorns’ ground game.
A key point of discussion was the performance of Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. Klatt questioned whether Ewers could invigorate the Longhorns’ passing game, suggesting that a balanced offensive approach would be crucial for Texas to succeed against Arizona State.
While Klatt provided a comprehensive analysis of both teams’ strengths and potential strategies, he did not explicitly predict a winner for the Texas-Arizona State matchup during this segment. Instead, he focused on the critical factors that could influence the game’s outcome, leaving the result open to the performance of the teams on game day.
