Kyle Whittingham evaluates Michigan quarterback competition after season opener

Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham is considering a change at quarterback following a lackluster offensive performance in the season-opening game against Western Michigan. Starter Bryce Underwood completed 12 of 22 passes during the narrow victory, which saw the offense generate numerous punts and struggle to build momentum. Whittingham confirmed that the starting position is not guaranteed as the team prepares for an upcoming game against Oklahoma. Freshman Tommy Carr has emerged as a primary contender for the role after impressing the coaching staff during spring practices. The coaching staff previously aimed to protect Underwood’s development, but recent struggles on the field have accelerated the potential for a personnel shift.
