How Arizona State Can Shock Texas in the Peach Bowl

Football experts have some interesting ideas on how Arizona State could upset Texas in the Peach Bowl. While the Sun Devils have a potent offense with tough players like running back Cam Skattebo and young quarterback Sam Leavitt, ESPN's Greg McElroy says the real action is on defense. Texas' quarterback, Quinn Ewers, hasn't been playing his best since returning from injury, and Arizona State might just exploit that weakness. "The Sun Devils need to rattle Ewers and force him into mistakes, " McElroy explained. Making mistakes won't be easy for Ewers, as he's dealing with a lot of pressure from his team's defense. But if the Devils can get him flustered, they might have a shot at winning. After all, Ewers has been struggling, with a low completion rate and a high number of sacks when pressured.

Former football star Tim Tebow on the other hand thinks the offensive team needs to step up their game. "A few receivers need to shine to give Arizona State a real chance, " Tebow suggested. With Texas likely to focus on stopping the rushing game, the Devils will need to prove their worth in passing situations. And let's not forget, Arizona State hasn't been exceptionally good at generating defensive pressure this season. But if all the stars align and they can get Ewers off his game, who knows? This matchup could be an upset ripe for the picking. Football games often come down to which team makes the fewest errors. If Arizona State can force Texas into mistakes while minimizing their own, they might just pull off the upset of the season.
