Did not see any of this game. Unbiased opinion, how did Underwood look considering he is a true freshman?

I thought he looked pretty solid for a true freshman. Could tell they gave him a lot of single reads and if it wasn’t there, go ahead and use your feet.
Michigans system is tricky to defend on intermediate pass plays because they utilize multiple TE’s and do a good job with picks and rubs, or getting guys free against zone coverage with flood concepts.
Their offense did stall out quite a bit after a hot start…I thought New Mexico was done after the first 10-ish minutes but they battled and made it competitive.

From very limited viewing, my only conclusion is that he’s better than the bozos they had last year.

The first half was all I could stomach so I don't know if the second half was any different. Underwood does have a canon for an arm. On the intermediate throws, the ball does get there in a hurry. He occasionally put way too much mustard on a short throw, making it difficult to catch. His mechanics were uneven, which caused him to miss several easy throws. I don't recall any throws he made with any sort of touch and at no time did he throw into tight a window.
This Saturday will be a better indication of what he will be this year. Oklahoma will have the talent to stay with Michigan's WR's. and I would think a more complex scheme.

He did what any QB should and mostly hit his wide open throws. Jury is still out on scUM WRs too, New Mexico has one of the worst pass Ds in FBS so it's hard to tell how "good" anyone actually is from playing them when it's the equivalent of playing against air. Underwood didn't have to make any throws into actual contested coverage. Saturday against Oklahoma will be a different story.
My unbiased opinion? He had wangs on his helmet so he looked like a fucking duchebag.
Doesn’t matter if he’s a true freshman. He’ll look that way forever.
Fuck him and anyone that looks like him.

Wrong glass, Sir.
He's just bitter because he was hoping to be Ono's new cuddle-buddy.

Just a schlub from Y-town
Serious question: why do TTUN fans always do this? Why can't they help themselves? I have a feeling that most of their fans don't find this cringe worthy.

They can't help themselves. They are raving about their WRs over on GoBlow as well.
This after throwing for 250 yards against a team who finished 129/134 in pass D (they allowed over 350 passing yards 6 times) last year while also being on their 3rd set of coaches in 3 years. It's about as close to playing a HS defense as you can get when it comes to FBS competition.
This game vs New Mexico would be concerning for most fan bases. They are probably worse than last year (Their good running QB transferred to Utah and they replaced him with a FCS player) and last year they lost to Arizona (4-8) and Auburn (5-7) by more than Michigan this year. But of course DFBIA is out here acting like it was a star studded performance

I bet Sayin had a very good statistical performance against Grambling and Ohio. Difference is you won't see anyone here crowning him as the undisputed greatest because of it.
