Michigan is heading to this game here after getting a narrow win in the opening week by Michigan Standards. The win came over the Fresno State Bulldogs by a score of 30-10 and was a lot closer than what was expected. 

The offense for the Wolverines was led by Davis Warren who went 15/25 for 118 yards and a touchdown, but was picked off once. Alex Orji was in the game as well completing 1 pass out of 2 attempts for a total of 3 yards and a touchdown. Still, the rushing offense for the Wolverines picked up 148 yards on 34 carries.

However, the rushing defense crushed the Fresno State offense giving up only 9 yards on the ground in 22 attempts.

This is a game that is a big time match early in the season. The one factor that could help the Wolverines out is the fact they are playing in the Big House. However, Michigan has a weaker offense and that will be costly in this game here as the Wolverines are going to struggle against the Longhorns defense and that allows Texas to come out with a road win in the Big House. Final Score Prediction, Texas Longhorns win 17-10.
