In a highly anticipated top-10 matchup, the No. 3 Texas Longhorns have taken a commanding 24-3 lead over the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines at halftime. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has been exceptional, completing 18 of 26 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns, while the Longhorns' defense has stifled Michigan, holding them to just 88 yards of total offense and forcing two turnovers. The ESPN College GameDay panel was divided in their predictions, with Texas narrowly favored to cover the spread. This game carries significant College Football Playoff implications, as a Texas win would substantially boost their playoff chances. The Longhorns' early dominance has been highlighted by key plays, including Ewers' touchdown passes and a strong defensive showing. Michigan, struggling offensively, needs a significant second-half turnaround to challenge Texas.
