Texas projected starting lineup and depth chart for Peach Bowl | 2024-25 College football season

The Texas Longhorns (12-2), led by coach Steve Sarkisian, are continuing their second straight playoff appearance courtesy of the Peach Bowl. Despite an impressive run against the 22nd-ranked schedule, the Longhorns fell short of avenging their only regular-season loss, dropping a tight 22-19 contest to Georgia in the SEC Championship.

Known for their strong offense, they showcased their dominance on the ground with 292 rushing yards against Clemson in the quarterfinals and 243 rushing yards in their finale against Texas A&M.

Meanwhile, Arizona State (11-2), under second-year coach Kenny Dillingham, completed a remarkable turnaround after a difficult 2023 campaign. Although the team's secondary and pass rush have struggled defensively, the Sun Devils remain competitive.
