Michigan Football News: Quinn Ewers channels Buckeye memories, leads Texas past Michigan

Quinn Ewers had a standout performance against Michigan , leading Texas to a decisive 31-12 victory. The quarterback threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his skills against a rival that holds personal significance for him.

Ewers, who previously played for Ohio State, reflected on his time with the Buckeyes leading up to this matchup. His success on the field was a stark contrast to his last visit to Michigan Stadium, where he watched from the sidelines as his team faced defeat.

“I understand the rivalry that Ohio State has with Michigan,” he said after the game. “To kind of carry that along through the week -- I understand how it goes. It’s definitely cool coming back here because the last time I was here it didn’t end up going (Ohio State’s) way.”

“I enjoy big moments,” Ewers said. “What helps me out is I’m not trying to please anybody. I’m not trying to please people who breathe one breath at a time. I’m just trying to please Jesus. He controls all breaths. When you truly believe that, when you truly know that, I allow myself to fully play clear-minded and ultimately not worry about what people think about me.”

“It was definitely a little different when I was just sitting on the sidelines,” he said. “For sure I understand how big of a moment it was just because I’ve been here before and I know what the atmosphere was like. It got pretty loud in that first quarter.”

This game highlighted the challenges Michigan faces in the post-Jim Harbaugh era, as they struggled to keep pace with Texas's high-powered offense. The Wolverines' defense showed vulnerabilities, and the team will need to regroup after this loss.
