Brian Kelly explains how Michigan should utilize Bryce Underwood
Key Points:
- LSU coach Brian Kelly, who recruited Bryce Underwood, believes Michigan is not using Underwood to his full potential, suggesting the quarterback excels more as a mobile, run-oriented player than a traditional drop-back passer.
- Kelly advises Michigan to adjust its offensive system to better fit Underwood's strengths, emphasizing designed runs and keeping him on the move rather than focusing on pocket passing and read progressions.
- Michigan offensive coordinator Jason Beck has expressed intentions to build the offense around Underwood and integrate him more into the run game, as seen in Underwood’s recent performance with nine rushes for 47 yards and a touchdown.
- Kelly stresses the need for a collective reset in Michigan's offense, encouraging the team to prioritize what suits Underwood best over traditional pro-style quarterback expectations.
- The effectiveness of these potential changes will be tested as Michigan prepares to face a strong Oklahoma defense in their upcoming game.
