Take the Longhorns’ quarterfinal matchup against Arizona State, for example. Texas marched out to a 24-8 lead to start the fourth quarter and unraveled. It took heroics from quarterback Quinn Ewers late in the fourth quarter and in overtime to keep the season alive.

That wouldn’t be a big deal, but Ohio State and Texas are slated to face each other on Friday night at the Cotton Bowl, which will be played at the very much domed AT&T Stadium.
