Decision Remains Under Wraps
Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham declined to name a starting quarterback for the upcoming game against No. 6 Indiana. He indicated the staff has a clear plan but will not reveal it ahead of time. The choice sits between Tommy Carr and Bryce Underwood following recent developments at the position.
Carr Steps Up in Relief Role
Carr entered at halftime against Penn State with the team trailing 3-0. He directed three touchdown drives in the second half, capped by a 12-yard scoring run with 2:58 left that secured a 21-18 victory. Carr completed five of seven passes for 47 yards and added 36 rushing yards in the win, which marked the coach's first Big Ten victory.
Underwood's Early Struggles
Underwood had started every game since arriving on campus but completed five of 11 passes for 43 yards with two interceptions in the first half versus Penn State. Through the season he has hit 58 percent of his throws while posting eight turnovers against seven total touchdowns. The win over Penn State prevented Michigan from opening Big Ten play at 0-3 for the first time since 1967.
