Why Michigan superfan Dave Portnoy doesn’t have Bryce Underwood ‘buyer’s remorse’ despite struggles

Michigan football has suffered two consecutive losses, with the most recent defeat against Minnesota being a cause for concern. Quarterback Bryce Underwood's performance in that game, where he completed only 10 of 21 passes and threw two interceptions, has led to speculation that he might face 'buyer's remorse' from his recruiter, Barstool president and Michigan fan Dave Portnoy.

However, Portnoy has dismissed such concerns, stating that "we wish we were playing better. College sports is basically professional sports now. You sign people to contracts and they don't always work out the way you want." He acknowledged that Underwood has struggled this season, completing just 67 of 113 passes for 881 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.

However, Portnoy emphasized that "nobody's playing great," and he doesn't see it as a buyer's remorse situation. Underwood's situation has been further complicated by the departure of head coach Jim Harbaugh and the subsequent struggles of coach Sherrone Moore. Underwood, a top recruit, has faced the challenge of playing under a new offense and a backup quarterback, Tommy Carr, who may not have the same level of allure as Underwood, but whose family's football legacy adds pressure to his position.

Michigan is currently 3-2 and has an off week to consider changes, with their next game against Penn State on October 17.
