Texas STOMPS Michigan 31-12, our insta-reaction

we can start with Michigan Texas if you want if you want to ease into the sadness jacuzzi let's start with Michigan Texas let's get in the flow of the show before we really unearth all the demons here yeah to 31 to2 was the final of this game Dan yeah we made a prediction on the Thursday show that I think we came to a weird agreement on we didn't plan it out 23 to3 was our final score and almost immediately we got comments on YouTube from around the ver baller Hood Michigan fans chiming in saying that's really disrespecting the defending champs yeah and I guess in hindsight they almost made it to 13 Dan but 31 to 12 was your final score opted for two in that moment to be clear so they were an extra point away from 13 story was Texas though to me it was but continue well that's where I wanted to go next what was the story for you cuz I feel like it was Texas as well I don't want to dunk on Michigan here that's not the point of this right so would you like me to talk about Texas yes I would uh they're good at college football uh Texas is good if you are a Texas Fan uh you should be doing the the motion that people do in the crowd when they're trying to quiet their own home crowd because they're a little bit too loud when their own team is on offense like yeah I know I know I know it's really exciting but calm down it's week to sh it's I know I feel the same way too well let's just keep it down because bad things could still happen uh Texas is really good Quinn yers looked very comfortable he looked like the experienced quarterback that he is the line handled Michigan's defensive line quite impressively uh I came away super impressed with what it's Gunner Helm the tight end who became uh who has become a new sort of I guess safety valve is the wrong word because he's like a legit weapon um they had Texas had a couple of impressive passes down the field but the story in this game was I think the Texas defense the Texas ability even withstanding some injuries to running backs to perform on the ground timely passing and just a better a more complete better Coach team given the experience on this sideline that Michigan does not have as a unit as a coaching staff and the ability to take advantage of an obvious weakness which was Michigan's ability to throw the ball Davis war and that that passing game Texas is just a fully formed team ready to compete on a high level and I think the most generous thing you can say to a Michigan person in your life is uh it's a changing time in Anar right it's a it's not rebuilding but it's reshuffling and figuring out who's who and what systems would be ideal for the players that Michigan has on offense because the defense is mostly fully formed but they just can't do everything so I'd be bummed out on like a very micro level if I were a Michigan fan you're still defending national champions so like just take a couple licks of those wounds let's not get too too sad if you're a Michigan human but it doesn't make it any easier in the moment I get that what I found really interesting about this week and I think the Texas Michigan game is a really good example of it yeah these games that we discussed at the top of our preview show the Texas Michigan game the Tennessee NC State game Colorado Nebraska like there were a handful of them Texas State against UTSA almost none of them were close they all ended up being runaway trains to some extent and I felt that way about this Texas Michigan game everyone had highlighted this one as kind of the show piece of the weekend and the Lasting Impression for me was that it didn't feel close it didn't feel close beyond that first drive when Texas drove the field and Michigan forced him to a field goal and it went wide right so they didn't you know they didn't score at all right in that moment it was like okay maybe we have a game but beyond that Texas did not have much trouble moving the football especially through the air you're right about Quinn yers I thought he looked very sharp very comfortable wasn't sacked at all he seemed unfazed to be playing in the big house which is exactly what you want if you're a Texas Fan it's exactly what you want put your star quarterback in a hostile environment like that and have him perform and and just kind of go about his business exactly what you want by the way if you are the Fox network and you turn over your full halftime show to a Texas Fan to talk about Texas wow what a decision I love I loved that for them but man I don't know where to turn you know I just where am I supposed to go at halftime to hear somebody talk about a game Ty we love we've had Matthew MC on the show he's great I love his enthusiasm I'm glad he exists as a Texas Fan Fox turned over their halftime show to him he great unbelievable uh Michigan on the flip side though you're right like they're not fully formed at this point they were last year yeah they were great last year and I guess the most optimistic take you could have on the Michigan side is well we played a really good team and they made us look bad which happens all the time and he wouldn't be wrong to make that assumption but that's only true to a degree this is a far cry from last year's team they're good on defense they're not as good they'll probably end up being fine on offense but they're not fully formed yet and they're still trying to figure out who their Playmakers are there aren't a whole lot of guys on offense that really scare you they just aren't we're still trying to figure out who they are so Michigan's going to end up having a fine season by the time all is said and done uh I'm not overly surprised by this because I think we saw the riding on the wall a little bit when we did some of our preseason work but um Texas is just a different place right now and to go into Michigan and win in convincing fashion in the manner that they did uh 31 to2 it kind of speaks for itself I would say the optimistic Michigan uh fans Viewpoint is Jaden Davis might get in there and be good at some point this year or soon or something I think that's actually what's in the minds of a a Michigan person watching this game because you know right you you watched Notre Dame quarterback maybe that was today uh I watched an Oregon quarterback maybe partially today we were like oh I don't know if this is this is an answer here yeah um and I would imagine Michigan people you know for better or worse with Davis Warren who I don't think was expected to be the next great Michigan quarterback by any stretch you know has the starting job but you watch him and you're just like you know this is tough that's all
