Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday that he has cautioned his team against the "Notre Dame scenario" and reminded his players that "we're entitled to nothing" following Saturday's 31-12 win over then-No. 10 Michigan that moved the Longhorns to No. 2 in the AP Top 25.

Texas' 19-point victory over the Wolverines at Michigan Stadium represented an early statement victory in the Longhorns' pursuit of a second-consecutive College Football Playoff appearance this fall. Led by 246 passing yards and three touchdowns from quarterback Quinn Ewers, Texas notched its largest road win over a top-10 opponent since 1979, handing Michigan its first home loss since 2020 and the program's first defeat since the Wolverines fell to TCU in the 2022 College Football Playoff.
