Underwood’s Offense Under Fire | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s quarterback Bryce Underwood and his team are off to a shaky 2-0 start, struggling offensively with just 15 points per game. Their win over Oklahoma was gritty but came with glaring issues—outgained and ineffective in the second half—raising alarms from NFL legend Shannon Sharpe. Sharpe warns that without a more explosive passing game, Michigan will be in trouble against teams scoring 20+ or even 30+. He suggests Underwood’s strengths lie in mobility and on-the-run throws, urging the offense to adapt its scheme around him, since he’s not a traditional pocket passer. While Underwood showed promise with ball protection and a rushing touchdown, his passing stats remain modest—and the new offensive coordinator is still figuring things out, especially since Underwood wasn’t their original QB target. The real test looms: upcoming games against Iowa, Minnesota, Penn State, Oregon, and Ohio State—all defenses known for shutting down the run. If Michigan can’t develop a reliable passing game or find ways to compete from behind, this season could quickly turn into a nightmare. Early wins don’t guarantee success; the schedule is about to expose every weakness. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
