Quinn Ewers puts on stellar display, throws 3 touchdown passes as Texas routs Michigan




The Texas Longhorns came to the Big House on Saturday and put on a clinic. Quarterback Quinn Ewers delivered a stellar performance, passing for 246 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 3 Texas to a 31-12 victory over No. 10 Michigan at the home of the defending national champions. Michigan’s weaknesses were exposed early on. Head coach Sherrone Moore, in his first season since Jim Harbaugh’s exit to the NFL, seemingly had no answers on either side of the ball. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Longhorns were nearly perfect on third down in the first half and put up 279 total yards of offense compared to Michigan’s 88. Ewers looked just as sharp, going 18 of 26 for 203 yards and two touchdowns to give Texas a dominant 24-3 lead heading into halftime. Michigan quarterback Davis Warren had just 49 passing yards before picking it up in the second half, throwing for 204 passing yards and one touchdown.
