Whittingham’s Quiet Push for Michigan | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s football team is facing a wave of skepticism from national media, labeled the most overrated in the Big Ten this year—thanks to a shaky offensive playmaking game, a defense with only three returning starters, and a tough schedule against Oklahoma, Penn State, and Ohio State. But head coach Kyle Whittingham isn’t buying into the hype—he’s laser-focused on discipline, minimizing penalties, and getting his players ready for real-game tackling, even if that means holding back in practice. His QB, Bryce Underwood, is expected to bring grit and maximum effort on every snap, which Whittingham believes can mask early-season mistakes. The Wolverines open their season Saturday night against Western Michigan at 7:30 PM ET—watch to see if they can silence the doubters right out of the gate.
