Quinn Ewers led the way for the No. 3 Texas team in their 31-12 victory over No. 10 Michigan on Saturday. Ewers showcased his skills by throwing for 246 yards and three touchdowns, dominating both in the air and on the ground. Texas outperformed the defending national champions, moving the ball effortlessly while Michigan struggled with turnovers and ineffective offense.
Michigan saw its impressive streaks come to an end in the face of Texas’ strong performance. The Wolverines had held a Big Ten-record 29 consecutive regular-season wins, 23 straight victories at home, and a national-best 16-game winning streak until this defeat to Texas.
In a highly anticipated matchup, Texas took control early in the game, silencing the home crowd at the Big House. The Longhorns led 24-3 at halftime and maintained a significant lead throughout the cloudy and windy afternoon. Ewers connected with his teammates for multiple touchdowns, showcasing the team’s offensive prowess.
In the end, Texas emerged victorious with an impressive display of skill and teamwork. Ewers’ flawless performance, completing 24 of 36 passes without an interception, solidified Texas as a strong contender for both conference and national championships.
Following this defeat, Michigan will need to regroup as they face Arkansas State next, while Texas will look to continue their success against UTSA. The outcome of this game will likely lead to Texas gaining more recognition in the rankings while Michigan may see a drop in their standings.
