Staff predictions for Week 2

No. 3 Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian are set for the top matchup of the weekend in Week 2 on the road in Ann Arbor against the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines. This will be Texas’s first top-10 battle on the road in well over a decade.

With under an hour until kickoff at the Big House between Texas and Michigan, the excitement is building for what could be a gigantic win on the resume for the Longhorns against the defending National Champions.

Michigan is led into this game by first-year head coach and former Wolverines offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore. The Wolverines are looking to extend their impressive 23-game home winning streak against the Longhorns this weekend.

Sarkisian and the Longhorns, meanwhile, are facing their biggest test by far of the non-conference slate this fall against Michigan in Ann Arbor this weekend. This game will go a long way to show whether the Longhorns are up for the test against some of the top competition around the college football landscape in their inaugural season in the SEC in 2024.

The atmosphere is guaranteed to be wild in Ann Arbor, and the national spotlight is bright on this Texas-Michigan game today. ESPN College GameDay and FOX Big Noon Kickoff both had their sets in Ann Arbor for this top-10 showdown at the Big House in Week 2.
