Michigan reopens QB battle ahead of Oregon game
Oregon will be facing a Michigan team going through plenty of changes this weekend, including a potential change at quarterback.
Michigan's offensive coordinator change has reignited a quarterback controversy ahead of their crucial matchup against Oregon on November 14. Head coach Kyle Whittingham announced Monday that the decision between Tommy Carr and Bryce Underwood remains fluid following the team's recent loss and the firing of OC Jason Beck. Carr, who had been the starter, took over the role after Underwood was benched at halftime against Penn State.
Carr has since started every game, leading Michigan to a 3-2 record, but their offense has struggled despite his performances. With the season now in jeopardy, Whittingham is implementing significant changes in hopes of turning things around. Carr has thrown for 641 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions, along with 90 rushing yards and three more scores this season.
Underwood, who started the year, threw for 924 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions with 22 rushing yards and two scores before his benching. Whittingham hasn't committed to a starter for the upcoming game, and it may not be finalized until Saturday's match. The Wolverines are set to face Oregon for the first time since 2003 in Eugene at 12:30 p.m. PST, broadcast live on FS1.
