Michigan’s Rocky Season Opener | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s season opener against Western Michigan was a brutal, nail-biting 13-12 win that felt more like a loss — outplayed, out-muscled, and disorganized from start to finish. Quarterback Bryce Underwood had his worst game ever, throwing an interception, fumbling late, and looking lost on the field. The run game, supposed to be their strength, vanished as Savion Hiter and Jordan Marshall struggled, and the offensive line offered little push. Defense couldn’t stop rushing attacks or get off the field, while special teams blew a muffed punt. Coaching under new head coach Kyle Whittingham looked disjointed, with penalties, turnovers, and confusing play-calling. A last-second Hail Mary saved them, but the performance left fans furious and questions looming: Can this team handle Oklahoma? They’ve got a lot of work to do.
