Michigan faces Texas in the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl amid coaching turmoil and injuries.

The Michigan Wolverines will play Texas in the Citrus Bowl on December 31, 2025. This game will be crucial as Michigan moves through a coaching transition following the firing of head coach Sherrone Moore on December 10 due to an improper relationship with a staff member. With 12 to 15 players out due to injuries and opt-outs, interim coach Biff Poggi oversaw preparations and emphasized the team's resiliency. Texas, which is ranked 73rd in offense and 38th in defense, takes on Michigan, which is ranked 56th in offense and 22nd in defense. Both teams are looking to gain momentum before the offseason. Kyle Whittingham will make his final appearance before formally taking over as head coach during the game, which will be televised by ABC.
