Everyone Is Blaming Bryce Underwood. But maybe the Michigan Coaching Staff is the Bigger Problem

Bryce Underwood's fourth down pass fiasco has left everyone questioning the Michigan coaching staff's decisions. The play, which essentially ended the game against Minnesota, is just one example of the team's overall struggles. Underwood has thrown multiple Hail Mary attempts out of bounds, raising questions about the offensive strategy.

Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham has admitted to telling Underwood to throw the ball somewhere in the end zone for a catchable play, but it's clear that the coaching staff is putting players in unfavorable positions to succeed. The offensive coaching staff seems to be built for running the ball, but this strategy has not been working.

Michigan's offensive line has been criticized for running laterally instead of creating open holes for the running backs. The misuse of personnel has been detrimental to the team's performance. Whittingham and offensive coordinator Jason Beck need to revamp their offensive game plan and utilize the players' skills effectively.
