Underwood’s Hail Mary & QB Future | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Bryce Underwood delivered a miracle Hail Mary to win Michigan’s opener against Western Michigan, but his performance before that was shaky—12-of-22 passing, 170 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT—and the game-winning throw sparked debate over whether it should’ve counted. Coach Kyle Whittingham confirmed Underwood is QB for now but stressed he needs improvement, adding that the coaching staff must also step up and no position is guaranteed. Online reactions are split: some praise him as making J.J. McCarthy look good, while others see Whittingham’s comments as warning signs—or even a bench watch. With NIL money on the line, speculation swirls that Underwood could transfer, switch positions, or become one of college football’s biggest busts, especially since his impact score ranked 79th among QBs last season. It’s early, but with Oklahoma (No. 10) looming next week, Michigan’s QB situation is far from settled. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
