Ewers completed 24 of 36 passes for 246 yards.
Gunnar Helm caught seven passes for 98 yards and a touchdown for the Longhorns (2-0). Matthew Golden had six receptions for 41 yards and a score.
The defending national champions also saw their 29-game regular-season winning streak and 23-game home winning streak end. Michigan (1-1) was held to 284 total yards in its first regular-season loss since October 2021.
The Wolverines' Davis Warren completed 22 of 33 passes for 204 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Colston Loveland caught eight passes for 70 yards.
Texas led 24-3 at halftime.
On its first possession, Texas had a touchdown pass wiped out by a holding penalty. Bert Auburn then missed a 43-yard field goal attempt.
The Longhorns scored on their next possession, which began on their 44-yard line. It began with a 22-yard pass from Ewers to Helm. They connected again five plays later, as Helm snared a 21-yard pass in the middle of the end zone.
Michigan got on the board early in the second quarter on Dominic Zvada's 37-yard field goal.
Texas answered with a 76-yard drive, relying mainly on its ground game. Jerrick Gibson finished off the 12-play drive with a 7-yard touchdown run.
Andrew Mukuba's interception of a Warren pass set up the Longhorns' next score, a 26-yard Auburn field goal.
Loveland fumbled a pass reception in the final minute of the half. Texas cashed in on Ewers' 5-yard touchdown pass to Golden.
Zvada's 52-yard field goal in the third quarter cut Texas's lead to 24-6.
Ryan Wingo's 55-yard run highlighted the Longhorns' next scoring drive, which they finished off with a 7-yard pass from Ewers to Jaydon Blue.
Warren completed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Semaj Morgan with two minutes remaining, the first touchdown the Longhorns have allowed in two games.
