Underwood’s Tough Test Ahead | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Bryce Underwood’s shaky start to the season came down to a last-second touchdown pass in a 13-12 win over Western Michigan, sparking debate about his readiness. Former coach Urban Meyer, close with Michigan’s head coach, praised Underwood’s coachability but was surprised he lacked a dedicated QB coach as a freshman—especially given the investment. Meyer noted Underwood is still developing key skills like spatial awareness and defense reading, while new QB coaches have been brought in this year. Tommy Carr is also getting high marks from the staff. Though the coaching team backs Underwood, the head coach made clear his starting role isn’t guaranteed forever—he must prove consistent growth. The real test comes next: a tough showdown against Oklahoma, where Underwood must rise under pressure to earn his place.
