Game Preview
The Michigan Wolverines, reigning national champions, are set to defend their formidable win streak at home this weekend. Despite their success, they are not favored in their upcoming match with the Texas Longhorns, who are 7 1/2-point favorites, according to FanDuel, for their showdown in Ann Arbor.
Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian holds the Wolverines in high regard, dismissing the underdog narrative surrounding the No. 10 team. “They’ve secured 41 wins in their last 44 games, maintaining a 16-game win streak and a 23-game home victory run,” he noted. “They exhibit a confidence and belief in each other that makes them formidable opponents.”
Sarkisian also expressed excitement about the encounter at Michigan’s iconic stadium, highlighting the traditional pageantry associated with college football’s storied venues.
Texas, coming off a 52-0 thrashing of Colorado State, demonstrated both offensive prowess and defensive solidity, advancing their record from last season’s 12-1 before a playoff defeat to Washington.
Michigan’s defense impressed in their season opener too, with standout plays like Will Johnson’s 86-yard interception return contributing to a 30-10 victory over Fresno State.
The previous sole encounter between Texas and Michigan was a close 38-37 decision in the 2005 Rose Bowl favoring Texas.
Michigan coach Sherrone Moore expressed enthusiasm for the high-caliber matchup, recognizing the importance of such games in defining his team.
Texas promises a significant challenge, especially on offense, with Sarkisian’s innovative play-calling and a strong lineup featuring Heisman hopeful quarterback Quinn Ewers.
Conversely, Michigan’s offense, under the helm of quarterback Davis Warren, will have to elevate their game to match the Longhorns’ intensity. Warren, making his debut start, managed modest numbers against Fresno State and will need to improve against Texas’s robust defense.
The game not only holds excitement for the fans but also serves as a crucial test for both programs early in the season.
