go through the motions after going down 14-3. Instead they almost gutted out the win. They didn't just go toe to toe with Texas, in most phases of the game they clearly outplayed them. Texas was not dominant athletically or physically.

Sam Leavitt is a dillweed jackhole (most offensive thing I can say about a person without tripping moderation wires) but the kid plays with moxie and fearlessness. And it's probably not Sam's fault that he has a dillweed jackhole for an older bro and a dillweed jackhole for a dad, so I'll cut him some slack.

Skattebo is a meathead who apparently deliberately ran into phone poles to build his toughness as a kid - do NOT let your kids do that, but it seems to have worked for Cam. I hope he gets at least five years in the League so that he has a comprehensive cognitive care policy in place from the age of 30.

All up: ASU more than showed that the Big XII belongs and got jobbed by the CFP committee. If Texas is an elite SEC program and ASU is one of the four top Big XII programs, the disparity between the conferences is narrowing.
