Overview
- No. 18 Michigan meets No. 14 Texas in Orlando on Wednesday in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.
- Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore on Dec. 10 after the school cited an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
- Whittingham, hired from Utah, briefly met the team in Orlando on Sunday as Poggi continues to run day-to-day bowl prep.
- Bowl organizers unveiled a Cheez-It-themed concession lineup featuring crusted turkey legs, walking nachos, a chili crunch dog, a burger, a pizza, and a 10-flavor sampling bar.
- It remains unclear how quickly Whittingham will shape offseason roster and recruiting moves, and Texas has won the only two prior meetings, including a 31-12 victory in 2024.
