The Texas Longhorns secured a convincing 31-12 win over the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor. Much of the result was due to the contribution of Quinn Ewers, the quarterback who, along with Arch Manning, shines in NCAA Football.
Michigan Stadium, known as The Big House, has a capacity of over 100,000 people and is famous for its intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams from the Big Ten division. In this context, any victory carries extra significance, as it is achieved in a setting known for its intensity.
Ewers was one of Texas’s standout players in the Longhorns’ victory and was impressed by his teammates’ presence in the Big House. “I enjoy having about 100 guys against 100,000 people,” he said happily. “It’s a very loud stadium, but we did a great job keeping our composure,” the quarterback stated.
The quarterback, a future star in American football, has impressive numbers. With Ewers on the field, Texas has won eight consecutive road games since 2022, and the 21-year-old has thrown 15 touchdown passes with just one interception.
