The fifth-seeded Longhorns host a postseason game in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff as they welcome the 12th-seeded Tigers. This first-time football matchup between Texas and Clemson contains a Hollywood-esque plotline as Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik returns home to face Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. Klubnik’s Westlake squad defeated Ewers’ Southlake Carroll team in the 2020 6A Division 1 high school state championship game. Cornerback Jahdae Barron, fresh off winning the Jim Thorpe Award, will look to ensure there’s a different outcome this go-around for a Ewers-led team. Resale tickets on various sites are steadily dropping further under $140. – Derek Udensi
