This matchup almost happened last season in the National Championship game but Texas lost to UW in the CFP semi-final. I'm pretty sure Michigan fans wouldn't have outnumbered opposing fans in Houston 3-1 if Texas had won that game.
Texas has a ton on their plate this season as they are moving from the Big 12 to the SEC. Many moons ago when they booked this game neither program thought how their current conferences would be constructed (Texas in the SEC and the Big 10 adding all the teams), If they did, neither program would have signed this home and home. Michigan travels to Austin next year.
As for this game, Texas has a Heisman Trophy candidate QB and famous QB bloodline as a back-up. They have speed on the outside and will look to throw the ball all around the yard. This will be a huge test for Michigan's secondary and pass rush. I don't know if Texas QB Quinn Ewers developed Michigan hate after being in Columbus for a year, but we assume he has it.. The Lonhourns handled CSU last weekend without breaking a sweat in the Texas summer heat. Michigan struggled against Fresno scoring points.
Dear Sherrone,
I wanted to start with some pleasantries and congratulate on your first win as full time Michigan head coach. But we don't have time for that. This is Texas week and you will need all your time game planning to stop the Longhorns offense. Michigan is an underdog in its own house and defending National Champions. As a reminder, most football talking heads believe Texas is not only going to win but will embarrass the Wolverines on Saturday afternoon.
Texas is going to test your entire defense through the air and on the ground. I know they lost a few RB's to injury but just when you think they are 100% throw, they will sneak in a 20 yard run. Sark will have an open playbook, Wink better have some funky formations to confuse Ewers.
Michigan has to control both lines of scrimmage against Texas. The defensive line must provide constant and consistent pressure on Ewers. If he gets speed up and starts seeing Ghosts, Michigan will win this game. Time for Moore, Grahman, Grant, and Stewart to become household names.
The offense has to score points and we know we don't move the ball if Michigan's run game is not sharp. The offensive line has to be 100% better this week. Michigan must have big games from Edwards and Mullins. The QB's have to test the Texas defense. Warren must throw the ball down field and getting Edwards on the edge/into space is key. I expect better play calling and some creative plays (not trick plays). Are we going to see a real Orji run formation?
Sherrone you know how to game plan for a huge game. I'm sure during the off season you spent more time preparing for Texas then you did Fresno State. There also should be plenty of motivation in Schembechler Hall with being a home dog. The wind might provide you a nice advantage if it blows at 15 miles per hour with gusts up to 28. Michigan has to run and run wild. To net it out, your squad has to play Big Ten Football with a dominating run game and defense. W. Johnson, Hill, Hall, Paige, and Q. Johnson must play well with a huge assist from Michigan's pass rush. Use the Big House fans and home field advantage to beat these Longhorns!

Guys I am so stocked about this game....waiting for a long time. I wish we had JJ back there....Still should be a good game...I have a feeling Longhorn will this game.....I hope Michigan pull a upset make blue the nation go wild!!
Brady did you decide to come back...miss you buddy!!
ChowDown if you are going to write keep it sweet and short....like all the dates you go on....Sorry just feeling happy and excited made some cash on Tasla stock this morning.....
MichiganMan misses being picked on and is trying to start battles .... 38 -17 is a realistic prediction ...but how do we get 17 points? A shut out is a realistic probability, along with just a couple of field goals.. We will be hard pressed to score over 10. But then again I know nothing, I must refer to our resident guru (Brady2017) for guidance. Run and run wild is not going to happen. (3 and outs will be the order of the day, and interceptions when we try to escape the doldrums. Hope I am wrong but can't mask my feelings. This is going to hurt bad, because we were at the top of the mountain, and down we go! I know nothing like Kramer says.
Michigan 27 Texas 24
Wow, catching strays and I haven't even commented on the post. Think somebody has a crush on me!!!! Were you the little boy that punched the girl on the playground cause you were too shy to use your words? Speaking of using your words, is that why you envy me? Because I can put together and informed and eloquent post and you just have diarrhea of the mouth?
Good job! Chow mein you kept it around four sentences. Give us your prediction please
Chow mein don't be offended buddy. I like what you post. I like the information you give but sometimes you go blah blah blah blah to the no man's land. Keep it sweet. Keep it short. Keep it coming
Hook 🪝 emmm
Snutty dog hookum
This game is over. Crowd us 🤚 🤚 🤚 🤚 out of the game
Number 20 for Michigan is garbage
〽️ getting Exposed . Y’all remember talking about how the wolverines just “held back” last week…..nope that was all we had.
Might be saving the playbook for Arkansas State...
The pudants were divided on this Michigan team. The smart ones said that it's obvious that this is not the same team because when you lose so much production to graduation and coaches moving on it changes your team, moreover, your new players have little to no real experience, therefore, you get what you got similar to the 2020 season.
For starters, you need a top flight 5* (or high 4*) level QB in order to have a real chance to compete at a championship level. Davis Warren is a nice kid but doesn't have the development or experience, and if he's the best that Michigan has then it will be a long season.
The concern for professional gamblers about this game was taking into consideration what Michigan was bringing back regarding the lack of production compared to the fact that going back into history, when a defending national champion returned the following season and played a home game (like Michigan did last week), the trend is that the defending national champions have won their next game about 116 wins vs. 12 losses. This team just bucked the historical national trend. They need some work. IMHO!!!
You must be 12-year-old.... With no IQ
But yet you purposely try to offend by mocking my user name. Typical keyboard hero. Maybe I can get a little long winded, but most of your posts add nothing to the conversation. Just a cheap shot artist that hides behind a laptop! Lets do each other a favor from now on. I'll ignore you and you ignore me. Deal? Tough guy?
