“There's no one that can stop me,” he told reporters Monday ahead of the Peach Bowl. Via ESPN.
“They keep saying people are trying to stop me. There's no one who can stop me. We've played 13 games and in every game I've been a target, so I don't worry too much. “We're going to play our game and play ball and see what happens there.”
Skatebo said he respects the Longhorns and what they bring defensively and loves that defenses see him as a threat every time he touches the ball. Scatterbo scored two rushing touchdowns in the Big 12 title game against Iowa State and then three rushing touchdowns in back-to-back games against rivals Arizona State and BYU.
Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt also wanted to prove the Sun Devils had a better quarterback.

“I've been watching him for quite some time,” he said Saturday when asked about Ewers. “I'm excited for this opportunity. People have been counting me out since day one. I'm going to go out and prove why I'm a good quarterback.”

Arizona State University is confident its fortunes will change dramatically.
