Kickoff time, TV announced for Texas at Michigan

In one of the premier non-conference matchups of the 2024 season — after a decade of anticipation — the Texas Longhorns and the Michigan Wolverines will kick off at 11 p.m. Central on FOX on Sept. 7 in Ann Arbor, the school announced on Saturday.

The game will air following the FOX pregame show Big Noon Kickoff, which will air live for two hours from Michigan Stadium before the game, which pits the national champion Wolverines under first-year head coach Sherrone Moore against the head coach Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns coming off their first-ever appearance in the College Football Playoffs.

The matchup between Michigan, the winningest program in college football history, and Texas, with the fourth-most wins, is only the second meeting between the two programs. The first meeting was certainly memorable — Texas won the 2005 Rose Bowl following the 2004 season in a prelude of the national championship run back to Pasadena that followed, beating Michigan in dramatic fashion, 38-37, when Dusty Mangum connected on a 37-yard field goal as time expired. Vince Young totaled 372 yards and five touchdowns, slicing up the Wolverines defense for 192 yards and four scores on the ground to help the Longhorns win their first BCS Bowl appearance and end the season 11-1.
