The No. 3 Texas Longhorns torpedoed the Michigan Wolverines 31-12 in front of a packed Big House in Ann Arbor on Saturday. The defending National Champs were down 24-3 at the half.
Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers threw a TD to three different pass catchers, including TE Gunnar Helm (7/98/1). He also wasn’t sacked. The Texas defense limited the Wolverines to 284 yards on offense.
Michigan couldn’t move the ball on offense for the second straight week. QB Davis Warren threw two interceptions, giving him more picks (3) than touchdown passes (2).
The Wolverine run game stalled except for when Warren was on the go. If you remove his 8 rushes and 41 yards (5.1 yards per carry), the backfield averaged 2.6 ypc.
The college football universe was present and hitting on all cylinders for Longhorns-Wolverines. Check out some of the best, including from athletes checking out the game and wholly unserious users.

The best aspect of such a big game and regardless of the outcome is experiencing it however you prefer. The last reaction is one that feels good.
