Texas, Michigan have heated altercation after late hit on Quinn Ewers
Texas and Michigan are squaring off in Week 2 in a game that is being heavily dominated by the Longhorns. Frustrations continue to mount on the side of the Wolverines, and a late hit on one play led the two teams into a heated altercation that had to be broken up by officials.
With Texas in a goal-to-go situation, starting quarterback Quinn Ewers took a quick knee after one snap as the play broken down. It was a clear sign Ewers had given himself up on the play, but Kenneth Grant and another Michigan defender made late contact with Ewers on the ground.
The incident ignited the offensive line of the Longhorns and set off a scuffle between the two teams with Grant at the center. The officials threw multiple flags and had to intervene to break up the situation.

When the situation was resolved, offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties were assessed to both teams. The original late hit to Ewers did not receive a penalty.
FOX broadcaster Joel Klatt expressed surprise that the late hit did not receive a flag, and he even praised the offensive linemen of Texas for standing up for their star QB. According to Klatt, it represents the championship culture Steve Sarkisian has been building within the program.
Regardless of the incident, it did not set back the Longhorns. They scored another touchdown soon after to build a commanding 31-6 lead against the defending national champs in Ann Arbor.
Where’d that Hail2thevictors guy go that was on here all last year
I’m still here basking as the reigning national champion for the next 4 months. Haven’t talked smacked all season because I’m celebrating while I can. I’m a realist.
Credit given for having the guts to show up here after the loss. Life is hard. It’s even harder without Coach Stallions.
I don’t back down. But I’m still celebrating a natty. Something you have done in 24 years and won’t ever again. You talk a lot of smack for being a fan of a mediocre program. Texas beat Bama last year. Who was your SEC champ, who made the playoff and got beat? Hmmm.
Hey-I’m very happy to also be celebrating a natty. You should be happy and not get so easily triggered at me. Be mad at Harbaugh for leaving you guys with a coach that isn’t qualified to coach at Bishop Sycamore. His ego wouldn’t let you guys do what Bama did and hire a winner to follow a winner. At least Public Ivy U was smart enough to not give him a contract (or maybe they’re simply r@cist?) so you can hire a quality coach at the end of the season.
You realize Michigan AD is black right? I guess you didn’t do your research.
I guess your AD didn’t do his research
Yep. Just hired the OC from a national champion team who coached the two time Joe Moore winner. More than Heupel has ever done and will do as a coach.
We should trade coaches. I’d rather have gotten embarrassed by Texas at home. And we get DEI points!
