How many games can Michigan win the rest of regular season if Tommy Carr is QB1?

Michigan Wolverines quarterback Tommy Carr replaced Bryce Underwood at halftime in a 21-18 victory over Penn State, contributing 47 passing yards on 5-of-7 attempts and rushing for 36 yards and a touchdown. Head coach Kyle Whittingham has not officially named the starter for Saturday's matchup against Indiana but indicated a specific plan is in place, leading to strong expectations that Carr will take the field.

The team, currently holding a 4-2 record, faces a challenging schedule with six games remaining, including road trips to Rutgers, Oregon, and Ohio State, as well as home contests against Indiana, Michigan State, and UCLA. ESPN Analytics projects low winning probabilities for the matchups against Indiana, Oregon, and Ohio State, though observers note that injuries to opposing quarterbacks Dante Moore and Julian Sayin may alter those odds.

Fans are debating whether Carr can lead the Wolverines to a 10-2 finish or if the team will struggle in the latter half of the season.
