Michigan Puts $12 Million QB Bryce Underwood on Notice After 13-12 Escape

Summary
Kyle Whittingham said Bryce Underwood is Michigan's quarterback "right now" but his grip on the job is not permanent after the Wolverines barely beat Western Michigan 13-12.
One second was restored after review, giving Underwood another chance after an earlier failed Hail Mary; he then hit JJ Buchanan for the winning touchdown.
Underwood finished with 170 passing yards, 47 rushing yards, two total touchdowns and one interception, extending scrutiny after an 11-touchdown, nine-interception freshman season.
Whittingham also said coaches must improve, but the warning stands out because Underwood arrived as the top 2025 quarterback recruit on a reported $12 million NIL deal.
