Quinn Ewers led the University of Texas Longhorns to a remarkable victory over the Michigan Wolverines, showcasing his prowess with 246 yards and three touchdowns. This decisive win marks Texas' second consecutive road victory against a top-tier team, following last year's triumph over Alabama. The Longhorns dominated both in passing and rushing, leaving the Wolverines to grapple with turnovers and failed offensive strategies. Michigan, ending several winning streaks, is still hopeful for a repeat national championship due to the expanded playoff system. Ewers' outstanding performance, along with tight end Gunnar Helm’s career-high stats, were pivotal in overpowering the defending champions. Despite Michigan's efforts, Texas maintained control, leading significantly by halftime, and ensuring a comfortable win. The victory project Texas as a strong national contender in their new SEC journey, while Michigan reflects on strategic missteps and potential improvements.
