Michigan's UGLY Week 1 Win EXPOSED: 3 Turnovers, 9 Penalties & Bryce Underwood Reality Check
About this episode
Jake Butt and Devin Gardner analyze Michigan's performance in their Week 1 win against Western Michigan, focusing on turnovers, penalties, and Bryce Underwood's decision-making.
Michigan survived Western Michigan — but the film is UGLY. Jake Butt & Devin Gardner break down the 3 turnovers, 9 penalties, and why Bryce Underwood's decision-making has Michigan fans worried before Oklahoma. Former Michigan captains go inside the film room: first down production, why the run game stalled vs stacked boxes, the sight-adjust misses that handcuff the play caller, and the OL communication breakdowns where 6 couldn't block 4. Plus the hospital ball, the smiling reaction, and why "double plus" plays will decide the Oklahoma game. What was your biggest takeaway — Turnovers, Penalties, or Bryce's reads?
