The Texas Longhorns posted a convincing win at Michigan on Saturday, and the victory may have had a bit of added significance for their quarterback.

Quinn Ewers spent a year at Ohio State before moving to Texas, and the significance of the Longhorns’ victory at Michigan was not lost on him. He had a bit of a laugh after the game over how he made Buckeyes fans quite happy by beating their biggest rival in a blowout.

“I understand the rivalry that Ohio State has with Michigan," Ewers said in a news conference, per Andy Staples of On3 Sports. "To kind of carry that along through the week, I understand how it goes,” Ewers said. “It’s definitely cool coming back here, because the last time I was here, it didn’t end up going to which team I was on.”

Ewers is alluding to his final regular-season game with Ohio State in 2021 when he was a backup quarterback for the Ohio State team that lost 42-27 at Michigan. That Wolverines victory snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Buckeyes.

While the Texas quarterback only spent a year at Ohio State, it was pretty clear that the game against Michigan was circled on his calendar. He threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-12 win, and he wasn’t even bothered by some dirty play against him, either.
