Underwood’s Future in Question | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s shaky season opener against Western Michigan leaves questions swirling around sophomore QB Bryce Underwood, who threw for 170 yards and a game-winning TD but lost the ball twice—prompting coach Whittingham to drop a chilling line: “No one’s job is guaranteed.” Despite being favored by over 27 points, the Wolverines managed just 276 total yards and faced boos from a restless crowd. Underwood, who’s been the starter since his freshman year, showed flashes of last season’s potential but also carries the baggage of three interceptions in the Citrus Bowl. While Whittingham’s comment was technically about everyone—not just Underwood—it’s hard not to read it as a warning. The Wolverines head into their next game against No. 11 Oklahoma as underdogs, with backup Tommy Carr—the grandson of legendary coach Lloyd Carr—ready to step in if needed. This quarterback battle is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
