Leading No. 3 Texas into the Big House to face No. 10 Michigan, Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers didn't waste much time providing a reminder that big-time players deliver big-time performances on the biggest stages.

Ewers, who is in his third season as Texas' starting QB, was unfazed by the moment, leading his team on a 56-yard touchdown drive to strike first late in the first quarter. He was nothing short of impressive throughout the first half, displaying poise in the pocket to make plays and get several teammates involved.

Thanks in large part to Ewers' performance, Texas leaves Michigan having made a resounding statement with a convincing 31-12 win. The football world is on notice that the Longhorns are back again and looking to win big in 2024.

Here is a look at Ewers' impressive numbers from Texas' statement performance in Ann Arbor.

That poise came through in several situations, including a clutch third-down completion to Golden. Ewers remained cool and calm under all types of pressure.
