Whittingham’s Quiet Strategy Pays Off | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s head coach Kyle Whittingham is living in a media-free bubble, refusing to read anything about the team — including social media — because it doesn’t help them win. After a shaky start, they pulled off a big win against Oklahoma, shifting the narrative thanks largely to running quarterback Bryce Underwood, who carried the ball 18 times for 87 yards. Whittingham admitted they should’ve run him even more and acknowledged the passing game still needs work. The team showed improved energy and execution, won the turnover battle (after losing it badly the prior week), but still struggle with penalties and extending drives. Looking ahead, Whittingham expects the defense to keep carrying the load while the offense gradually finds its rhythm — a pattern he’s seen before. This week, Michigan faces UTEP, who gave up big numbers to Oklahoma, offering a perfect chance to build momentum — especially on offense — as they iron out those lingering kinks.
