Underwood blindsided by Whittingham’s starting-role comments ahead of OU clash

Bryce Underwood was surprised to hear Kyle Whittingham say his starting job isn’t guaranteed after Michigan’s 13–12 win over Western Michigan. With No. 11 Oklahoma looming, Whittingham indicated no one’s job is set in stone, while Underwood acknowledged he didn’t know the comments and promised to improve after a shaky opener that included turnovers and a late Hail Mary. He defended his confidence and aims to play His game against a tough Sooners defense, hoping to rebound from last year’s road loss to Oklahoma.
