Following their 38-24 victory over Clemson , Texas football officially punched their ticket to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in the second round of the College Football Playoff. After the win, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian met with reporters for his post-game press conference, noting his opinion on the committee’s controversial decision.
“What an environment for college football this was,” Sarkisian said. “From the moment we pulled up on the busses, our Bevo walk, you could feel the energy. The crowd was tremendous. It was a great atmosphere. I think college football got this one right. As much as we critique some of the things that are happening in our game right now— this idea of a home playoff game with this 12-team format— this was pretty special. One we were humbled and honored to be part of, here at [Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium], so I hope everybody enjoyed that because we surely did.”
