Pride defines the atmosphere in Ann Arbor, a vibrant city where the spirit of the community radiates through every corner.
Pride in the maize and blue that adorns the streets.
Pride in the recent national championship triumph.
Pride in holding the record for the most wins in college football, alongside three Heisman trophies and a loyal fanbase of 107,000 who fill The Big House every Saturday.
However, this Saturday, that pride faces a formidable challenge from a fierce burnt orange delegation from Texas, equally eager to showcase their legacy.
This clash is introduced in a thrilling video that sets the stage for the highly anticipated matchup between No. 3 Texas and No. 10 Michigan, airing at noon ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app, with narration by the legendary former Wolverines quarterback and current FOX Sports broadcaster, Tom Brady.
As Brady emphasizes, these two prestigious programs have only faced each other once before, in a memorable Rose Bowl showdown where Vince Young’s Longhorns narrowly defeated Chad Henne’s Wolverines, 38-37, with a last-second field goal by Dusty Mangum.
Even though this contest falls in Week 2 of the season, both teams are vying for a significant victory that could bolster their standings with the College Football Playoff committee as they begin to shape the postseason bracket.
