Bryce Underwood benched for Tommy Carr in Michigan vs Penn State
Tommy Carr came in the Michigan game vs Penn State to start the second half, with Bryce Underwood benched Saturday.
Michigan football has made a move at quarterback. Tommy Carr, a freshman from Saline, entered the game against Penn State in the third quarter to replace Bryce Underwood. The Wolverines, who were trailing 3-0, cheered when Carr came onto the field. Carr, who is the grandson of national championship coach Lloyd Carr and brother of another player, has been the No. 2 option on the depth chart since spring ball but had only limited playing time.
Coach Kyle Whittingham expressed frustration with the offense during halftime, noting issues with running the ball and two turnovers. Underwood's performance against Penn State was lackluster, and his interceptions added to the difficulties. Carr had a successful debut, completing two pass attempts for 23 yards and scoring a touchdown on a deep fade.
Whittingham expressed confidence in Carr, citing his athleticism and potential in future games. Underwood, despite being the top-rated recruit in his class, has struggled to live up to expectations throughout the season.
