Kyle Whittingham defends Bryce Underwood as starting QB, but his reasons are questionable
Michigan head football coach Kyle Whittingham made it clear on Monday during his weekly press conference that Bryce Underwood is still the team’s starting quarterback. What he did not make clear is why — at least in any way that actually addresses the on-field problems that have contributed to back-to-back losses. When asked why he […]
Michigan QB Tommy Carr took more first-team reps during bye week
Bryce Underwood is Michigan’s starting quarterback, but if Underwood doesn’t improve or stop turning the ball over, true freshman backup Tommy Carr could see the field sooner or later. Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham told the media on Monday that Carr “had a good week” of practices during Michigan’s bye week. “He took half the […]
Why Penn State is a must-win game for Michigan Football this weekend
The Michigan Wolverines are coming off consecutive losses and are in the midst of the worst start to Big Ten play in more than a decade. However, the upcoming matchup against the Penn State Nittany Lions this weekend is a chance to right the ship and get things back on track. Even though head coach […]
2 things we learned about Michigan Football during the bye week
The Michigan Wolverines were sidelined in Week 6 with a bye week in the middle of a two-game losing streak to Iowa and Minnesota. Answers are needed for a team that needs to make sure the wheels don’t fall off. They’re 0-2 in Big Ten play and have their toughest opponents still ahead of them. […]
Kickoff time, TV designation revealed for Michigan Football vs Indiana
The Michigan Wolverines are back at The Big House the next two weekends to take on Penn State and Indiana, in that order. We already know that this week’s game vs Penn State will kickoff at 3:30 p.m., and now we are learning about all the details for the Indiana game a little less than […]
Michigan Football injury updates on Andrew Sprague, Andrew Babalola
A much-needed bye week for the Michigan football program gave the team a chance to rest and recover ahead of what still looks like a gauntlet of a schedule. During the time off, the Wolverines got the chance to continue working on their game while also working back to full strength, as the team has […]
News and notes from Kyle Whittingham’s pre-Penn State press conference
The Michigan Wolverines return from their bye week to try and right the ship. At 3-2 overall and 0-2 in Big Ten play, there is a huge uphill climb to get back into any sort of national conversation after brutal losses to Iowa and Minnesota. They’ll attempt to get back in the win column this […]
Big Ten Football Power Rankings adjust to a shocker in Eugene
Week 6 saw UCLA pick up a huge road win in Eugene, while Indiana snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Lincoln. Our power rankings had to adjust accordingly, as Oregon plummets and UCLA moves up near the very top. There is still tons of football left to be played, but here are our […]
Michigan Football sees slight drop in ESPN FPI after bye week
After a much-needed bye week, Michigan Football has a chance to regroup on Saturday vs. Penn State. The Wolverines fell to 34th in the latest ESPN FPI Rankings with a score of 10.9.

Michigan Basketball opens preseason with blowout win over Eastern Michigan
The Michigan Wolverines returned to the court for the first time since winning the national championship last season, taking down the Eastern Michigan Eagles, 87-62, in the preseason opener at the Crisler Center on Sunday.

Michigan returns to the SP+ Top-25 after the bye week
Michigan’s stock has dropped throughout the season to this point, but some good things happened for the Wolverines during the bye week to make their resume and quality of play perhaps look a little better. That includes a big win for Oklahoma over No. 1 Texas. Even without playing a game this weekend, Michigan moved […]
3 offensive adjustments Michigan Football must make ahead of Penn State game
If you’ve been a Big Ten football fan for a long time, you know there’s a formula many teams follow year in and year out to succeed: dominant defense and just enough offense to grind out games. Over five games, Michigan has done its job on defense, but the offense has been worse than anyone […]
‘He’s for sure an NBA player’: Michigan players and coach Boynton talk Quinn Costello, young impact players
From the moment you watched him play on the euro trip, most Michigan fans knew that Quinn Costello was going to have an impact this season. The 6-foot-10 freshman was red-hot from deep, making 45.8 percent of his 24 attempts from three while also proving to be a stellar cutter. Costello scored 11.7 points per […]
Mike Boynton breaks down Michigan’s new front court, encouraging Estrella & Thiam to shoot more threes
For the third season in a row, the Michigan men’s basketball is relying on upperclassmen bigs, transferring into Ann Arbor to grow as players while providing size and stability around the rim. To say that strategy has payed off for the Wolverines would be a real understatement. If you count Yaxel Lendeborg as a big […]
What they’re saying in college football Week 6: Urban Meyer calls Michigan a ‘train wreck’
It has not been a fun bye week for the Michigan Wolverines and their fans after the loss in Minneapolis to the Minnesota Golden Gophers last Saturday.

Majority of fans want Michigan QB Tommy Carr to start, bench Bryce Underwood
Earlier this week, we asked fans whether they want to see Bryce Underwood remain Michigan’s starting quarterback or let Tommy Carr take QB1 duties.

Michigan Mailbag: How the Wolverines can utilize the bye week and get the best out of the quarterback position
Well, it’s been another week. The Wolverines are 3-2 after dropping back-to-back games to Iowa and Minnesota. Now this team has a bye week and a chance to prepare for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, 3-2 is just not where you want to be at this point in the season. Michigan football plays a […]
Friday Discussion: Who is most at fault for Michigan’s disastrous start?
Following Michigan’s loss to Iowa, Kyle Whittingham stated in a press conference that he felt like his team was 0-4, despite their 3-1 record. Following one of the ugliest football games in Michigan history, the Wolverines are now 3-2 on the season, with two objectively bad losses. Whittingham must feel like he’s 0-5 now. While […]
Resetting expectations for Michigan football, and its schedule, a month into the season
Obviously, this is not where the Michigan Wolverines expected to be during their bye week. Year 1 under a new regime — especially after whatever the past two seasons were — could reasonably be expected to have some bumps, and maybe a stumble against Iowa was not completely impossible to foresee, but to be (just […]
Michigan Hockey: Wolverines look to build momentum before Denver rematch
Michigan hockey is undefeated, No. 2 in the nation, and back in action this weekend with a two-game home stand against Alaska Anchorage (0-2). If any football team wants to complain about bad travel, don’t mention it to the Seawolves, who are traveling nearly 4,000 miles for this weekend’s matchup. Last weekend, Michigan dominated Bowling […]
Michigan Basketball’s national title run ‘built’ Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney for bigger roles
The Michigan Wolverines took home the national championship last season behind the most dominant frontcourt in the country, but backcourt tandem Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney also played a pivotal part in cutting down the nets. A year later, Cadeau and McKenney are set to step into bigger roles and become the leaders of the […]
Maybe Tommy Carr should be Michigan’s QB1, but not against Penn State or Indiana
Heading into a bye week and fresh off the worst offensive performance since its 2024 loss to Illinois, Michigan’s offensive players and staff have had a couple of days to let that reality sink in. Once thought to be an offensive unit that could take a big leap coming into the season, taking a leap […]
