Do Michigan and Texas equally need a win in their Week 2 matchup to set the tone for their respective 2024 seasons?

The defending College Football Playoff-champion Michigan Wolverines host the Texas Longhorns in the first 'Big Noon Saturday' game of the 2024 season on Sept. 7 in what's one of the biggest box-office games of the season and only these programs' second all-time matchup.

While their leading rusher of the past two seasons, Blake Corum, is now in the NFL, the Wolverines still have the vibrant Edwards in the backfield and will presumably look for a breakout season from senior running back Kalel Mullings. On the other side, Texas is coming off its highest win total since 2009. Young sees the heavyweight, out-of-conference game as an early test of the Longhorns' validity. 'We are all going to heap a lot of pressure on Texas,' Young said.
