The Texas Longhorns received encouraging news as they gear up for their Peach Bowl matchup against the Arizona State Sun Devils. Both injured starting offensive linemen seem ready to return for the College Football Playoff.
According to Orangebloods’ Anwar Richardson, veteran center Jake Majors and starting tackle Cam Williams are “expected to play against Arizona State.”
These two linemen have played a significant role in the success of the Texas offense. Their efforts were instrumental in the Longhorns’ 292 rushing yards against Clemson in the first round of the playoff, although both were sidelined for parts of the game.
Texas’ backups performed admirably in the absence of Majors and Williams. Backup linemen Cole Hutson and Trevor Goosby kept the offense moving forward with two starters missing. However, with Majors and Williams returning, Texas will be nearly at full strength.
Arizona State enters the Peach Bowl riding a six-game winning streak. Recently, the Sun Devils have found another level, having routed the Arizona Wildcats 49-7 in a rivalry game before defeating the Iowa State Cyclones 45-19 in the Big 12 Championship.
Majors and Williams will aim to help the Longhorns slow down the Sun Devils and advance to the College Football Playoff Semifinal. The two teams will compete for a spot in the semifinal on Jan.
