The Texas Longhorns launched their much-anticipated 2024 football season with a decisive victory against Colorado State on a Texas evening. With Quinn Ewers leading the charge, the Longhorns dominated from the start. He showcased power in the first half, throwing for 248 of his total 260 yards and three touchdowns by halftime, ushering Texas to a commanding 31-0 lead. The Texas defense, notably improved, held Colorado State's offense at bay, restricting them to just 25 passing yards by halftime. By the final whistle, Texas had sealed a 52-0 victory, signaling robust potential despite tougher challenges on the horizon such as their upcoming face-off with last year's champion, Michigan Wolverines. Noteworthy was Arch Manning's debut, where the celebrated back-up quarterback marked his first game with an impressive touchdown.
