Underwood’s Hail Mary & Headaches | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s season opener against Western Michigan ended in a heart-pounding 13-12 win, thanks to Bryce Underwood’s game-winning 47-yard Hail Mary — but the victory came at a steep cost. Underwood threw for 170 yards and a TD, but also tossed two turnovers, including an interception. Analyst Joel Klatt called the film “shocking,” blasting Underwood for multiple rookie mistakes — throwing into double coverage, missing read-option plays, and forcing bad throws that led receivers straight into defenders. While Underwood posted impressive stats last year (2,428 yards, 11 passing TDs, 6 rushing TDs) and led Michigan to a 9-4 record, coaches stress the need for growth. With Oklahoma looming on September 12, the Wolverines’ next test will be how quickly Underwood and the team can bounce back from this shaky start.
