Michigan defeats Oklahoma 17-10 to improve to 2-0
Quarterback Bryce Underwood led Michigan with a 38-yard rushing touchdown as the Wolverines upset No. 10 Oklahoma, moving to 2-0 on the season.
Michigan recorded a 17-10 victory over No. 10 Oklahoma at Michigan Stadium, improving to 2-0 on the season. Quarterback Bryce Underwood, who had struggled in the previous game, ran for a 38-yard touchdown in the first quarter and finished with 87 rushing yards on 18 carries, the most among the team’s ball carriers.
The Wolverines’ defense limited Oklahoma quarterback John Matey to 234 total yards and a single touchdown, forced two turnovers and posted eight tackles for loss and three sacks. A 24-yard interception return by Jyaire Hill set up the game-winning one-yard rush by Jordan Marshall with under eight minutes remaining.
Underwood completed 9 of 17 passes for 111 yards and did not turn the ball over. Wide receiver JJ Buchanan contributed two catches for 48 yards, while freshman Savion Hiter added three receptions for 41 yards. Oklahoma’s leading receiver, Rocky Beers, had six catches for 94 yards.
The win marks the first time Oklahoma has been shut out in a half since 2021. Michigan will host UTEP next Saturday before beginning Big Ten play the following week.
