In this article, we will formulate a Michigan vs. Texas prediction for this College Football Week 2 game on Saturday, September 7th, at Michigan Stadium. Let’s take a look at a Michigan Wolverines vs Texas Rangers pick.
Texas Dominated First Game
There were some who believed Texas would be tested in the first game against the Colorado State Rams, but that was far from the case. Texas was up 31-0 at halftime and they never looked back on the way to the victory. Quinn Ewers completed 20 of his 27 passes for 260 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Archie Manning also got some playing time and he completed 5 of his 6 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown. Jerrick Gibson finished with 10 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown. The offense will get the headlines, but the defense sure made a statement.
Many expect a good season for Colorado State quarterback BraydenFowler-Nicolosi, but the Texas defense sure locked him down. He completed 10 of his 18 passes for 59 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. The only real weakness was they did let Justin Marshall rush for 25 yards. In this game, the Texas defense is going to need to step up again.
New Era of Michigan Football
It’s a new era of MIchigan football and they hope this one is going to be just as successful as the last one. Michigan in the first game faced off against Fresno State in the last game and they were able to secure the 30-10 victory. Davis Warren was under center for Michigan and he completed 15 of his 25 passes for 118 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Running back Kalel Mannings rushed 15 times for 92 yards. They need the running game here to try and find the end zone. Colston Loveland caught eight passes for 87 yards and a touchdown.
On defense they weren’t perfect, but they did create a couple of turnovers. They allowed Mikey Keene to throw for 235 yards, but they also finished with two interceptions. In this game the defense is going to need to try to create a couple of turnovers and really put the pressure on.
Michigan vs Texas Prediction
MIchigan hopes this new era of football is just as good but bad news for them, it’s not going to be. Quinn Ewers had quite the game throwing for three touchdowns and he’s going to have a huge game here. MIchigan’s offense isn’t going to be as good, and this is going to be a comfortable victory. Even on the road, Texas is going to get the job done. Back Texas to win this game and cover the spread.
