Bryce Underwood powered Michigan's 17-10 upset of Oklahoma with 87 rushing yards and a 38-yard touchdown, even as he threw for only 111 yards and completed 53% of his passes.
Brent Venables said the Michigan quarterback was exactly what Oklahoma expected — big, strong and difficult to bring down one-on-one — after his defense struggled to stop the quarterback run game.
The praise carried extra weight because Venables had already called Underwood one of college football's most talented players and previously compared him to Trevor Lawrence.
Michigan entered the game as an underdog, and the win reinforced the view that Underwood's impact can extend beyond his passing numbers as the Wolverines develop around him.
