Underwood’s Start Hangs in Balance | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Bryce Underwood sparked Michigan with a last-second TD in their gritty 13-12 opener, but his shaky play—170 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs, and a dismal 102 QBR nationally—has coaches sounding the alarm. Head coach Kyle Whittingham made it clear: no starting job is guaranteed, not even for a top recruit who flipped commitments to Michigan before signing day. With a brutal schedule ahead—including a rematch against No. 10 Oklahoma where Underwood struggled last year—the pressure’s on. Backup Tommy Carr is ready, and Whittingham’s message is simple: performance, not pedigree, decides your spot. The Wolverines need everyone to step up—and fast.
