Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo put together a legendary performance on New Year's Day in the Sun Devils' College Football Playoff Quarterfinal matchup vs. Texas.

In the instant overtime classic against the No. 5 Longhorns in the Peach Bowl, Skattebo put his team's offense on his back. The 22-year-old senior racked up 269 total yards (141 rushing, 86 receiving, 42 passing), two rushing touchdowns, a two-point conversion, and a passing touchdown in the 39-31 defeat. Oh yeah—and did so after vomiting profusely on the Arizona State sideline.

Skattebo's performance had the college football world in awe. Take a look at some of the best reactions across social media:

With the win, Texas advances to the CFP Semifinal—hosted as the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. They'll take on the winner of Ohio State vs. Oregon on January 10 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. EST.
