Will Compton: 'If I'm a Michigan fan, I'm nervous about Texas'

Michigan and Texas is one of the top games of the weekend and if Will Compton rooted for the Maize and Blue, he’d be nervous.

Michigan is the defending champs and got a win in Week 1, but Texas is flying. The Longhorns dominated Colorado State and only reloaded after last year’s College Football Playoff appearance.

Despite being nervous about the Longhorns, Compton is sticking with the home team in Ann Arbor.

“If I’m a Michigan fan, I’m nervous about Texas coming in,” Compton told JD PicKell on The Hard Count. “You know, they had a great team last year and all they’ve done is add to it. Quinn (Ewers), looked good, (Arch) Manning looked good. They got an O-Line that’s ready to move you. Yeah, I think that’s going to be an incredible game, man. I’m picking Michigan because I got a ride with my boy (Taylor Lewan). But I don’t feel good about it.”

As Compton noted, his Bussin’ With The Boys co-host Taylor Lewan, is a Michigan legend. In essence, that’s why Compton didn’t flip his pick to Texas.

“We’re super excited for the challenge,” Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said Monday. “We know we’ve got a really good football team coming in in all three phases. Coach Sark has done a really good job with the program. On offense, they present challenges because of the way he calls the game, what he does, his creativity, his rhythm. Obviously, they have a really great quarterback. 

“Skill players, fast everywhere. Running back is really good, I know they have the other two that got hurt but the running back they have now is really good, too. The O-line is as good as you’ll see in the country. I know our defense is excited for the challenge.”

It’s all love between Michigan and Texas, to say the least. Steve Sarkisian knows the challenge.

“A ton of respect for this program, for this team,” Sarkisian said. “You don’t go to three straight College Football Playoffs if you don’t have a great program, and they’ve got a great program.

“Obviously, capping it off last year being national champs. They’re 41-3 in their last 44 games. They’ve won 16 games in a row. They’ve won 23 straight home games. So these guys know how to win. You can see it in their style of play. They play with a great deal of confidence. They believe in one another, so it’s a heck of a challenge for our team.”
