The Michigan Wolverines have won 23 consecutive games at home, but that hasn't changed the fact that many analysts are picking Texas to win convincingly on Saturday.
The Michigan Wolverines have won 23-straight games at the Big House and are undefeated at home over the last three seasons, but the Texas Longhorns are still considered 6.5 point favorites entering Saturday's top 10 showdown in Ann Arbor. Following both team's Week 1 performances, the belief that Texas is going to win convincingly has only grown among many within the college football world - including a lot of analysts.
Neuheisel noted that Michigan suffered significant losses on the roster during the off-season, while crediting Sarkisian's for essentially turning Texas into an Alabama-like program. That may be a bit premature on Neuheisel's part when it comes to where Texas is at as a program, but the overall point is fair. Michigan did lose nearly 20 guys to the NFL following the 2023 season, and Texas does return a strong roster that is expected to be squarely in the national championship hunt.
But Sarkisian certainly isn't taking the Wolverines lightly. In spite of the losses on the roster, he doesn't seem to share Neuheisel's belief that Saturday is going to be a walk in the park for the Longhorns. Instead, Sarkisian says his team is preparing for a dogfight in Ann Arbor.
