4 takeaways from Texas's dominant win over Michigan

Quinn Ewers shows up again on the big stage on the road against a top-10 non-conference foe

You could tell from the start of the first drive of the first half for the Longhorns that this could be a special performance from Ewers. For the second week in a row, Ewers had complete control of the offense and spread the ball around effectively to the multitude of different playmakers he has at the skill positions in this speedy offense for the Longhorns.

Ewers led the Longhorns into Michigan territory in the first five drives of the game, resulting in the team being setup for scores each time. After Texas missed a long field goal kick on the first offensive drive of the game for the Longhorns, Ewers led them to four straight scoring drives, including three touchdowns.

Ewers became the first quarterback to throw for over 200 yards and multiple touchdowns against Michigan at the Big House in the first half of a game since 2010. His ability to get the ball out on time and methodically move the Texas offense down the field with big play after big play got the Longhorns up big in this game and they never looked back.

The second half offense slowed down a bit for the Longhorns, as Sarkisian tried to take control with the ground game in the third and fourth quarters. Ewers still made some solid throws when he needed to, including a the opening touchdown of the second half on a swing pass out of the backfield to junior running back Jaydon Blue for his first score of the season.

For the second week in a row, Ewers finished up with around 250 passing yards and at least three passing touchdowns.
