Ewers also had plenty of Buckeyes pulling for him

The only ones pleased with Saturday’s result more than Texas fans are people in Columbus. Watching Michigan lose on a national stage is every Ohio State fan’s dream, especially if one of their own is leading the way. Former Buckeyes quarterback Quinn Ewers delivered for Texas today, earning a huge win for the program.

Following the game, Ewers described the emotion of beating Michigan after spending some time at Ohio State. Despite being away for a few years, the rivalry between the two Big Ten schools still resonates with him. You have to imagine a lot of former players and teammates are happy with Ewers’ play to knock off the Wolverines.

“I understand the rivalry that Ohio State has with Michigan,” Ewers said. “To kind of carry that along through the week. Again, I understand how it goes. It’s definitely cool coming back here because the last time I was here, it didn’t go which team’s way I was on.”

Ewers was a part of the 2021 edition of The Game, a huge stepping stone for former head coach Jim Harbaugh. Michigan finally broke through against Ohio State, eventually leading to a Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff appearance. Although CJ Stroud was the starter that day, Ewers was at the Big House with the traveling squad.
