The upcoming college football game between No. 3 Texas and No. 9 Michigan marks the first regular-season matchup between the two teams since the 2005 Rose Bowl, with both teams entering the game with a 1-0 record. Texas is coming off a dominating 52-0 win over Colorado State, while Michigan is looking to bounce back from a less impressive 30-10 victory against Fresno State. The game will be held at Michigan Stadium, known for its hostile environment, where the Wolverines have won 23 consecutive home games. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will lead a newly formed receiving corps, primarily built through the transfer portal, against Michigan's experienced secondary featuring All-American cornerback Will Johnson. Analysts are focusing on key position matchups, particularly how Texas's offensive line will perform against Michigan's formidable defensive front. This game serves as a significant measuring stick for both programs as they aim for a strong start in the season and potential playoff aspirations.
