Rivalry. NC teams have lousy records this season.
East Carolina down by 1, 86 yard run for TD with 1:33 left Missed 2 point conversion, 26-21. Then, ECU INT. NC State also finishes with a losing record. Fun game . . . until the stupid scrum at the end (3 ECU ejections, 5 NCSU ejections. Do they carry over to the first half of their first 2025 games?). They should, playing in a Bowl is not liberty to be an idiot.

ASU down 16 with 6:31 left, 4th and 2, RB Skattebo (!) pass for 42 yds for a TD 2 point conversion good, 24-16.
ASU intercepts TX bomb.
ASU 62 yard pass to Skattebo (!). Add 15 penalty yards for Skattebo's (!) facemask being grabbed. 1st & Goal at TEX 8.
Wow, what a turnaround!
TX PI, 1st & Goal at TEX 2, Skattebo (!) straight ahead for TD.
TX holding on 2 point conversion, retry.
Skattebo (!) rush, 24-24 with 5:00 - 4th.
Classic.

Back to the game, TX misses 48 yard FG with 1:39 left, good field position for ASU. ASU punt, TX drive, 38 yard doink off the left upright. Holy crap, OT.
Skattebo (!), of course, 3 yard power run for TD in OT1. TX 28 yard TD pass on 4th and 13, 31-31. Wow, again.
TX TD pass on 1st play of OT2, circus catch for mandatory 2-point conversion.

So far, so good.

Seconds into the 3rd: 7 Notre Dame 20 > 2 Georgia 3

I usually don't like routs, but there are exceptions.
