Should Michigan bench Bryce Underwood? Noise grows louder after Wolverines sputter to 0-2 in Big Ten play

Pressure is mounting on the Michigan Wolverines after a 20-14 defeat against Minnesota dropped the team into an 0-2 hole in Big Ten conference play. Head coach Kyle Whittingham admitted that the coaching staff considered making a switch at quarterback during the upcoming bye week following another poor performance from sophomore starter Bryce Underwood.

Underwood struggled mightily against the Golden Gophers, completing less than half of his pass attempts for 101 yards and throwing two interceptions without scoring.

The struggles have sparked questions about whether the program should turn to alternative options like senior Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, a former Colorado State transfer. Underwood arrived in Ann Arbor as one of the most celebrated recruits in school history after flipping his commitment from LSU, leaving the coaching staff weighing his massive potential against ongoing struggles that have limited the offense to just 16.7 points per game in Power Four matchups.
