Match updates, CFP Round 1 live score

The Texas football program will make history on Saturday by competing in the first 12 College Football Playoffs. Better yet for the local fans? The Longhorns will host Clemson at Royal-Memorial Stadium in the first-round game.

Aside from the historical significance that comes with playing in the first expanded CFP, the game features numerous storylines. Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik returns to his hometown of Austin, where he never lost a game and led Westlake High School to back-to-back state championships as the starting quarterback. And some of his best friends from Westlake now play for Texas, including star safety Michael Taaffe.

Oh, and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was a high school rival of Klubnik’s: The two met in a state championship game while Ewers played for Southlake Carroll High School in the Dallas area.

Texas WR Isaiah Bond appears to be out

Texas receiver Isaiah Bond apparently won’t play against Clemson as he watches the team’s warmups in sweatpants and a hoodie. Bond is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in the Dec. 7 SEC Championship game against Georgia. Sarkisian said Thursday that Bond didn’t practice at all during the break last week, but “I’m optimistic he’ll be able to compete on Saturday, but again, time always tells, especially given the injury he has.”

Texas WR Isaiah Bond doesn’t warm up

During pregame warmups, junior wide receiver Isaiah Bond did not participate in drills with the other Texas receivers. Bond is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in the Dec. 7 SEC Championship game against Georgia. Sarkisian said Thursday that Bond didn’t practice at all during the break last week, but “I’m optimistic he’ll be able to compete on Saturday, but again, time always tells, especially given the injury he has.”

QUINN MIGHTY AT DKR

Horns on the way back to ATL

Quinn Ewers is getting some revenge on Cade Klubnik, but more importantly, the Longhorns are rediscovering their offensive style. It’s back to the ATL.

HORNS CANNOT COVER BUT W. PRESERVE

Ultimately, Texas was a top-five team for most of that season, while Clemson needed a 56-yard field goal to get into the playoffs. I don’t expect Texas to cover Vegas’ big lead – the Longhorns rarely do that – but I do expect UT to move up and return to Atlanta next week.

Texas 24, Clemson 17

The defense does it

Clemson’s offense is comparable to Texas’ – maybe even a little better – but the Tigers can’t match what the Longhorns bring on the defensive side of the ball. The best defense in college football earns Texas the right to play another game.
