Texas Longhorns fans started moving down to the field early in the fourth quarter when Michigan fans started going home.
A crowd of more than 111,000 fans was mostly maize and blue inside Michigan Stadium. But the burnt orange was visible both on TV and throughout social media posts as the Longhorns electrified Longhorn Nation with a 31-12 win.
Coaches and players sung “The Eyes of Texas” school song loud and proud and it reverberated throughout the Texas radio network. Then, the Longhorn band struck up “March Grandioso” and the fans had themselves quite a party there inside Michigan’s stadium.
It was UT’s biggest road against a top-10 team since 1979.
Quarterback Quinn Ewers completed 24 of 36 passes for 246 yards and threw three touchdowns. The running game tallied up 143 yards, and Jerrick Gibson punched in a key score to give Texas an early 14-3 lead.
The Texas defense was simply suffocating. Michigan finished with 284 yards and got a garbage-time touchdown long after most of its fans went home. But when it counted, the Wolverines’ offense couldn’t manage much and turned it over three times.
Texas linebacker David Gbenda had a team-high seven tackles as safety Andrew Mukuba, an Austin LBJ product, had two pass-breakups.
