Bryce "L" Underwood (QB ttun, for now)

Michigan Wolverines HC Kyle Whittingham puts Bryce Underwood on notice with an explosive quote about his future as quarterback

Bryce Underwood struggled against Western Michigan in his season debut on Saturday; that much is not up for debate, except for the last-second Hail Mary. But according to his head coach, the patience for those sorts of games is running thin.

Kyle Whittingham has officially put his quarterback on notice. Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood had a rough outing in the team’s Week 1 win over Western Michigan, and his head coach isn’t sugarcoating the situation. Whittingham was asked about Underwood’s job security following one of the most controversial endings to a college football game we will probably ever see, and his response should raise alarms in Ann Arbor.

The game came down to a Hail Mary because Underwood had a bad game. Not just a shaky game or a forgettable one. A really bad game. This comes on the heels of his first year at Michigan, where he wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire either. The hope was that Underwood used the offseason to develop and take a leap. Based on what we saw in Week 1, there wasn’t a whole lot of optimism surrounding that.

Bryce Underwood Stats vs Western Michigan​

  • 12/22 passing

Whittingham delivers a blunt message

So what did Whittingham say when asked about Underwood’s future as the starter?

“It’s not something that’s infinite. At some point we’ve got to turn a corner,” said Whittingham in post by On3.

Ohio State should feel great about the mental edge they have over TTUN​

This offseason has been nothing but a win for the Buckeyes over the Wolverines. They crushed them so badly last season that they had to fire their head coach. The new head coach doesn't understand the rivalry, and Michigan's quarterback thinks this game is just like any other one.

Day has to be jumping for joy in his office in the Woody when he hears these comments. He knows he has the Wolverines right where he wants them. The entire Michigan program is already mentally preparing to lose when that game rolls around, which is hilarious.

Of course, there are several months between now and The Game. Ohio State has a brutal schedule. They will be focused on winning their other games before TTUN comes to town. The first big one is that matchup with Texas in Week 2. That will be a tough environment to win in.

Perhaps last year's game was the realization that TTUN is a broken program. It will take years to undo the damage of the cheating scandal. Now that they can't skirt the rules anymore, they are in trouble on the field.

Nah. They'll declare that they all have COVID or Scarlet Fever and settle for a forfeit come late November.

I don't feel sorry for any of them. They signed up for this when they let Ellison's sugar baby get ol Larry to cough up $12mil. I laugh at the scUM fans who now aren't fans of NIL and want players to play based on merit, but yet were the loudest when they landed Underwood over LSU. This kid was raw, and needed at least a year to learn a CFB system and become a more polished player. The money he was paid took away that learning time and he's expected to play and win big from Day 1. I shed no tears for those cheating weasles, they signed up for this. I hope he starts all year

You obviously have him confused with another player.

This Bryce Underwood is the best player to ever come out of that state up north.

Just ask him, he'll tell you.
