ANN ARBOR, Michigan — The Wolverines lost in the Big House for the first time since 2020 and Michigan lost its first regular season since the 2022 season. The Maize and Blue find themselves in uncharted territory after being dominated for 60 minutes.

The Longhorns had 389 yards of offense, behind Quinn Ewers who threw for 246 yards and three interceptions. Michigan’s defense struggled to contain the powerful Longhorn offense. The Wolverines couldn’t get much pressure from the line on defense, and the young corners were beaten time and time again when Michigan didn’t get pressure on Ewers.

Offensively, Davis Warren threw for 204 yards, but most of his yards came in garbage time. Warren did throw a touchdown in the fourth quarter and had two interceptions, but neither was entirely his fault.

While there isn’t much to learn from Saturday’s game, here are our Michigan football players from the game.

The speedy receiver missed a football on Saturday, but he made up for it with a strong effort in the fourth quarter. Morgan caught a late touchdown toss of 31 yards from Davis Warren. After catching just one catch last week, Morgan has five receptions for 45 yards and a score. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that Morgan has been more involved in the offense.

It wasn’t a smooth game for the Michigan tight end. Loveland fumbled a football late in the second half when the Wolverines would have been in Texas territory. Instead, the Longhorns scored before halftime to give them a 24-3 lead. But overall, Loveland was the top target for Davis Warren. He had a game-high eight catches, and Loveland added 70 yards to his season total. As we said last week, it’s clear that Loveland is the top target for Davis Warren.

There weren’t many positives from Michigan’s defense on Saturday, but Jaishawn Barham continued to improve from his Week 1 performance. He tied for a team-high five solo tackles. Barham got into the backfield and caught a quarterback hurry on Quinn Ewers. Barham figures to be a big SEC linebacker playing in Big Ten country. As the season progresses, Barham should be a force.

The veteran safety led the Wolverines with six tackles. The Texas receivers had their way with the Michigan corners — not the one named Will Johnson. Jyaire Hill struggled in coverage and Paige was there to clean up mistakes. It’s not ideal when you have to make plays as a safety, but it’s good to have him back. You’d rather have Paige be quiet in a big game like this, which could mean the corners would do better.

The Arkansas State transfer remained perfect on Saturday. Zvada made both field goals, this time from 37 and 52 yards out. In back-to-back games, Zvada is likely to be the player of the game for the Michigan Wolverines. It seems crystal clear that if the Wolverines need Zvada to make a clutch kick, he will.
