The No. 3 Texas Longhorns are set to host a first-round playoff game, welcoming in the Clemson Tigers for the first-ever matchup between these two programs.

Texas brings one of the nation's elite defenses to the table to take on a Clemson offense that thrives on chunk plays to keep things moving. On the other side of the ball, the Longhorns' offense needs to rebound quickly from the abject failure of a ground attack they attempted against Georgia to keep the Tigers' defense on its heels.
