Texas returns to Atlanta less than a month after losing SEC title game to face Arizona State in CFP

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — The Texas Longhorns were in Atlanta less than a month ago, playing for a championship. “Of course we’re going to kind of feel that a little bit, but we kind of want to move on and just get ready for Arizona State,” Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. said. “Anytime you leave a school and you know some people, it’s always fun to play those guys.” Dillingham said the Texas transfers have made a huge impact on the Arizona State program. “They’ve done a great job of controlling football games by not turning it over.” Suspended star Arizona State will have to play the first half without star defensive back Shamari Simmons, who is suspended for the first two quarters after being ejected for targeting in the Big 12 championship game. “He’s going to be a great defensive back for Arizona State for a long time coming.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
