While the Texas star wouldn't fire back at Leavitt, on a segment of "Get Up," ESPN's Paul Finebaum backed Ewers over Leavitt. He also called Ewers overrated in the process, but that likely stems from his hype as a recruit.

Despite being 12.5-point underdogs, Arizona State's quarterback and star running back Cam Skattebo have both been speaking to the media as if the Sun Devils are the team to beat. Leavitt made headlines by saying he's better than Ewers, while Skattebo assured the media that no one can stop him.
