Texas’ Win Over Michigan Leads College Football Week 2 With More Than 9M Viewers
deadline.comThe Texas Longhorns took the Michigan Wolverines to task on Saturday in the most-watched Week 2 college football matchup. The game drew 9.35M viewers for Fox, which marks the biggest audience of the season so far, up just slightly from the 9.2M who tuned in for the USC-LSU game in Week 1.

Second place went to Colorado-Nebraska, which managed 5.67M viewers on NBC in primetime. Earlier in the day, NBC scored 3.93M viewers for its broadcast of the Northern Illinois Huskies’ win over Notre Dame.
