Where’s ‘College GameDay’ This Week? What You Need to Know for Week 2

“College GameDay” heads back to the Big House.

College football’s premier pregame show returns to Ann Arbor for Saturday’s top 10 matchup between No. 9 Michigan and No. 3 Texas, a game that has been high on the calendar for college football fans since the end of last season.

Saturday’s heavyweight matchup between the Wolverines and Longhorns, originally scheduled to begin in Texas, will mark the first time the two programs have faced off since the 2005 Rose Bowl Game. In that game, Texas kicker Dusty Mangum hit a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give the Longhorns the win.

It will also be the second career start for Wolverines starting quarterback Davis Warren, who won the quarterback battle with Alex Orji and seventh-year graduate transfer Jack Tuttle. Warren finished with a 15-of-25 passing day with 118 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Michigan’s 30-10 season-opening win over Fresno State. His counterpart at Texas will be former Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers, who threw for three touchdowns in Week 1.
