The Texas Longhorns had a great start against the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Peach Bowl on Wednesday. Despite starting 3-0 down, they quickly scored a touchdown, forced a punt and had it returned for a touchdown to take a two-possession lead.

The Longhorns fans were excited about this 75-yard punt return touchdown by Silas Bolden to put them up 14-3 midway through the first quarter.

"Ahh yes. The blindside block for the TD. Works every time," one said.
"I was just telling my dad that we haven't had a special teams return this year before the game lmao." another said.

Fans were excited about how well this Longhorns team has started in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.

"It's gonna be a LONG day for ASU. LONGHORNS BY FIFTY," one fan posted.
"It's early but looking f'ing easy," another replied.

There is still a lot of game remaining but when going up against one of the top teams, getting a big lead is paramount to keep momentum.
