Quinn Ewers Controversial 'Team Up North' Remark Ahead of Matchup vs. Michigan Resurfaces

The Texas Longhorns have now put Week 1 in the past and have shifted their focus to epic showdown Week 2 in Ann Arbor against the defending national champion Michigan Wolverines .

Back in July, quarterback Quinn Ewers talked about the headlining matchup against Michigan and struck a cord when he referred to them as the 'The Team Up North' which is famously used by Ohio State Buckeyes players, coaches, and fans.

The post has now begun to resurface and go viral as the game is less than a week away. Posted on many social media platforms, the clip was seen by well over 220,000 viewers.

"It's going to be an awesome environment; the place is going to be rocking. Especially all the hype because it's an early game. They're coming off a national championship, yeah, The Team Up North." Ewers said.

Some people tend to forget that coming out of high school, Ewers was a five-star who committed to Ohio State and spent his first collegiate season with the Buckeyes. After his freshman season, he transferred to Texas and became the starting quarterback.

When you go to a school like Ohio State or Michigan, the hatred of the opposition is engraved in you, and you don't lose that. Making Saturday's matchup must-see TV.

This will be Michigan's first true challenge since winning the national championship. After Losing Jim Harbaugh , JJ McCarthy , and replacing them with new talent.
