Underwood’s QB Struggles Under Scrutiny | Huntsville News

Michigan’s quarterback battle heats up as Bryce Underwood, a five-star recruit with all the physical tools, delivers a gritty but flawed performance in their close opener—throwing for 170 yards, a TD, and an interception while adding a rushing score. Urban Meyer, speaking on a podcast, criticized Underwood’s lack of spatial awareness and progression skills, noting he was thrust into the starting role amid coaching chaos last year. Meyer hinted that if Michigan had lost, freshman Tommy Carr might’ve gotten the nod—despite Carr’s physical immaturity. While Carr’s future is bright, Underwood’s inconsistency remains a concern. With Oklahoma looming, Meyer believes Carr could see more first-team reps, but stresses the entire offense, especially the line, must improve to support whoever starts. Ultimately, the decision hinges on who gives Michigan the best shot to win—not making statements, but maximizing winning chances. Underwood must elevate his game against a tough Oklahoma defense.
