Michigan Wolverines faced a major setback as No. 3 Texas defeated them 31-12, ending Michigan's 23-game home win streak and marking a rough start for new head coach Sherrone Moore. Michigan's offensive struggles were evident, with Moore admitting postgame that the team needs to improve. Adding to the challenges, Moore is coaching without a finalized contract, operating under a memorandum of understanding since January. The contract negotiations are delayed due to various transitions and ongoing NCAA investigations into a sign-stealing scandal. Despite the administrative hurdles, both Moore and Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel express mutual commitment and optimism about finalizing the contract soon.
