FATAL FLAW: Can Michigan FIX Their PASSING Game WOES Before COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF Run?

from Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast · host Locked On Podcast Network

Michigan Wolverines football secured a 21-16 home victory against Purdue, but the narrow margin exposed serious concerns about their passing attack. Despite a 7-2 record, quarterback Bryce Underwood's performance—13 completions for 145 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception—raises questions about whether the Wolverines can compete with elite Big Ten opponents.We break down why Michigan's passing game remains stagnant compared to last season, examining Underwood's development, the offensive line's youth, and persistent receiver drops from Semaj Morgan and Channing Goodwin. The comparison to Ohio State's Julian Sayin, who has thrown 23 touchdowns to Underwood's seven, highlights the gap Michigan must close before their season-ending showdown with the Buckeyes.With the first College Football Playoff rankings releasing tonight, we preview where Michigan, USC, and Iowa might land and whether the Big Ten can secure four playoff spots. Plus, we analyze Ohio State's dominance over Penn State, Indiana's continued rise under Curt Cignetti, and Oregon's upcoming test at Iowa.  Ohio State, Indiana and Oregon seem safe within the potential playoff field regarding their expected rankings.Watch now for our complete breakdown of Michigan's offensive struggles and what the Wolverines must fix during their bye week to salvage their playoff hopes.Twitter/X:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkbig10Website & Merch: https://talkbig10.com Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧  https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-big-10/ 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DoorDashWith DoorDash Streaks, you save every Saturday you order — stack it up all season and you could save up to $250.
