Texas Longhorns-Michigan Wolverines live updates – top games, highlights, insights

Week 2 of the college football season begins with a big, high-profile matchup. The Texas Longhorns (number 3) travel to Ann Arbor to face the Michigan Wolverines (number 10).

Both teams were in the College Football Playoff in 2023. While the Wolverines won the national championship last season, the Horns could be the better team in 2024. Both teams opened the new season with wins in Week 1, albeit in different ways. Texas defeated Colorado State 52-0 and Michigan trudged to a 30-10 victory over Fresno State.

This is only the second meeting between these two college football stars. The first was in the Rose Bowl after the 2004 season. This game, despite coming early in the season, has massive CFP implications. According to the Allstate Playoff Predictor, Texas would have an 81 percent chance of making the playoffs with a win and a 51 percent chance with a loss. Michigan needs the win more. Should the Wolverines lose, they would have only a 15 percent chance of returning to the CFP.

It's Texas QB Quinn Ewers against Will Johnson and a strong Michigan defense. Here are the best plays and takeaways from the game:
