Michigan replaces freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood with Tommy Carr for upcoming game
After benching true freshman Bryce Underwood at halftime against Penn State, Michigan will start Tommy Carr against Indiana, while the quarterback's future remains uncertain.
Michigan announced that true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood will be replaced by Tommy Carr for the Wolverines' home game against Indiana this weekend. Underwood was taken out at halftime in the previous contest after Penn State held Michigan scoreless for two quarters, and Carr led a comeback with three touchdown drives.
A Big Ten source who observed the Penn State game said Underwood returned in the second quarter following an interception on a deep pass. The source described the play as a flat route to receiver Savion Hiter that fell short, adding, "I just don't know if he's a naturally accurate passer."
Underwood's next steps are unclear. With the transfer portal active year-round, Michigan and other programs are reportedly monitoring the situation in case the quarterback decides to explore other options.
