Starter Uncertainty Lingers
Michigan enters its matchup against Oregon with the starting quarterback position undecided. The team dropped a 15-6 decision to Michigan State, prompting an immediate change at offensive coordinator. Coach Kyle Whittingham confirmed the starter for the upcoming game remains under evaluation following the performance in that contest.
Recent Performance and Changes
Freshman Tommy Carr had started the prior two games after taking over during an October win over Penn State. In the loss to Michigan State he threw for 138 yards and recorded two interceptions, posting a QBR of 38.8. The team dismissed Jason Beck from his role as offensive coordinator, installing Jim Harding as the interim coordinator for the remainder of the season.
Options Under Review
Bryce Underwood opened the year as the starter and has accumulated 924 passing yards along with five touchdowns and six interceptions. Whittingham noted that coaches weighed a switch to Underwood during the third quarter against Michigan State but ultimately decided against it at the time. The process to name a starter for Oregon continues without a final determination.
