The Texas Longhorns football team showcased a dominant performance in their season opener, defeating Colorado State 52-0, with quarterback Quinn Ewers throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns. This victory marked Texas's first shutout in a season opener since 2004 and improved their record under coach Steve Sarkisian to 4-0 in such games. Looking ahead, ESPN analyst Lee Corso picked Texas to win the national championship, predicting a final match against Georgia, which drew boos from Texas A&M fans during College GameDay on their campus. Corso highlighted Texas's favorable schedule, noting the absence of teams like Alabama and LSU. However, some critiques mention concerns about Texas's defensive turnover and receiver replacements. As Texas prepares for a matchup against No. 8 Michigan next week, the team's performance and depth will be put to the test.
