The No. 4 Texas Longhorns are set to face the No. 9 Michigan Wolverines in a highly anticipated non-conference matchup following Texas's dominant 52-0 victory over Colorado State. Texas showcased a strong performance in their opener, with quarterback Quinn Ewers throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns, while their defense limited the Rams to just 192 total yards. Michigan, under new head coach Sherrone Moore, won their opener against Fresno State 30-10 but struggled with quarterback play, as they replaced 13 players from last year's championship team. The Longhorns enter the game as 5.5-point favorites, buoyed by a 73.9% chance of victory according to ESPN’s matchup predictor. This clash marks the first game of a home-and-home series between the two storied programs since their memorable 2005 Rose Bowl encounter. College GameDay will be present for this marquee matchup at Michigan Stadium, set for kickoff at 11 a.m. CT on FOX.
