The Texas Longhorns earned their place in this prestigious bowl game after a nail-biting victory against Arizona State in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. They showcased resilience as they held a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter before the Sun Devils rallied back to even the score, sending the game into overtime. In a dramatic second overtime, Texas struck first with a touchdown and clinched the game by intercepting a pass from Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt. Quarterback Quinn Ewers had a standout performance, racking up 322 passing yards and totaling four touchdowns—although the Longhorns’ ground game struggled, amassing just 53 yards.

On the other side, Ohio State faced Oregon in a rematch of their earlier encounter where the Ducks triumphed at home. Many speculated that their paths might cross again in the Big Ten Championship, but Ohio State’s regular season finale loss to Michigan changed those prospects. Instead, they met for the first time in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff, where Ohio State asserted their dominance, setting themselves up for this clash against Texas.

With both teams eyeing a chance at the national championship title—something that has slipped through their grasp in recent years—the Cotton Bowl is poised to be an electrifying contest.

Don't miss the moment when two powerhouse programs collide in Dallas for a shot at glory! Who do you think will emerge victorious? Will Texas reclaim their storied legacy, or will Ohio State add another prestigious outing to their accolades? Tune in on January 10 to find out!
