Video game of the week

No. 3 Texas (1-0) at No. 10 Michigan (1-0), Saturday, Twelve Noon ET (Fox)

The Longhorns will be the highest-ranked nonconference challenger to go to the Big Home because top-ranked Florida State beat the Wolverines 51-31 in 1991.

Is Michigan’s defense as salty as ever? Fresno State handled simply 9 lawns hurrying, punted 7 times and dedicated a couple turnovers in a 30-10 loss to the Wolverines recently. We’ll get a much better concept about Michigan’s defense when it breaks Quinn Ewers and a Texas offense that produced 545 lawns in a 52-0 win over Colorado State.

Offensively, Michigan requires to get Donovan Edwards going. The group’s leading running back gotten simply 27 lawns on 11 brings versus Fresno State. First-year starter Davis Warren had simply 6 pass plays choose 10 lawns or longer recently.

The undercard

Nebraska brings momentum into the renewal of its competition with previous conference mate Colorado. The Cornhuskers will be playing the second of 4 straight homes video games to open the season and are coming off a 40-7 win over UTEP.

The piece de resistances are the quarterbacks: first-class freshman Dylan Raiola of Nebraska and the vibrant Shedeur Sanders of Colorado. Raiola was as excellent as marketed versus the Miners, and the addition of larger and more powerful receivers was a discovery. Sanders can set up big numbers with playmakers Jimmy Horn Jr. and two-way star Travis Hunter.

This is the last video game in a four-game home-and-home series. Colorado has actually won the very first 3.
