Bryce Underwood Leads Michigan to 34-17 Win in Confident College Debut

A tougher road test at Oklahoma now looms with linebacker Jaishawn Barham sidelined for the first half.

Overview

  • Named the starter five days earlier, the true freshman went 21-of-31 for 251 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers in his first game.
  • Michigan’s offense looked markedly more explosive than last season, totaling 452 yards as Justice Haynes rushed for 159 yards and three scores.
  • Jaishawn Barham’s apparent defensive touchdown was overturned for targeting, leading to his ejection and an automatic first-half suspension next week under NCAA rules.
  • Underwood’s officially licensed jerseys are available with a percentage of sales earmarked for Detroit youth programs, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • Media reports have pegged his multi-year NIL potential above $10 million, drawing public criticism that intensifies scrutiny on his early performances.
