Underwood’s Debut & Defense Tested | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan kicks off its season Saturday night against Western Michigan under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, with all eyes on quarterback Bryce Underwood’s growth under the spotlight. The Wolverines boast a potent ground game led by Jordan Marshall and Savion Hiter, while the defense’s pass rush duo of John Henry Daley and Nate Marshall could be one of the most dominant in years. Tight end depth remains uncertain, but true freshman Mason Bonner could emerge as a key target. A major development: Roddy Gayle Jr. wins a temporary restraining order, clearing the way for his potential return. This opener is about more than just a win—it’s a critical test for Underwood and the defense ahead of a brutal next-week showdown with Oklahoma.
