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 switch at quarterback in their Week 7 game against Penn State. Tommy Carr, a true freshman from Saline, entered the third quarter to start play after Michigan trailed 3-0. Carr, the grandson of former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr and brother of Notre Dame junior quarterback CJ Carr, had only seen limited action earlier in the season.

Michigan's coach Kyle Whittingham expressed his belief in Carr's potential, stating that the young quarterback had a bright future and was a sneaky good runner. Underwood, the top-rated recruit in the nation in the class of 2025, had struggled with his passing game, completing only 59.3% of his passes and throwing four interceptions.

His two turnovers and lack of rhythm led to his replacement by Carr, who impressed with his limited playing time, completing both pass attempts and rushing for 18 yards.
