Texas Opens Season with 52-0 Victory

In a dominant season opener, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers achieved significant NFL buzz by throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Longhorns to a 52-0 victory over Colorado State. Ewers showcased his skills with a highlight-reel no-look pass for an 11-yard touchdown to Matthew Golden, drawing comparisons to NFL star Matthew Stafford from former player Emmanuel Acho. Backup quarterback Arch Manning also made headlines by throwing his first college touchdown pass during the rout. The Longhorns' offense, featuring new transfers like Golden and Isaiah Bond, found rhythm despite losing their top five receivers from last season. The Texas defense was equally impressive, limiting Colorado State to minimal offensive gains, with the Rams not crossing the Texas 49-yard line until late in the game. Next week, Texas faces a tougher challenge against No. 9 Michigan as they continue their campaign in the Southeastern Conference.
