‘The truth hurts’
Key Points:
- Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood was benched at halftime during the Wolverines' recent win over Penn State after poor performance, including two interceptions and offensive struggles.
- Former NFL player Eric Weddle predicted Underwood's benching months ago, citing Underwood's inability to consistently deliver basic passes during a recruiting visit in April.
- Freshman Tommy Carr replaced Underwood and led Michigan to a 21-18 comeback victory, scoring more points in the second half than in the previous three Power conference games combined.
- Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham has not named a starter for the upcoming game against Indiana but indicated confidence in Carr's recent performance and future role.
- Despite Underwood's high-profile status and reported $12 million price tag, his position as starter appears uncertain following his benching and Carr's strong showing.
