Michigan at Oklahoma Puts Bryce Underwood’s First Road Test Under CFP Spotlight

The result doubles as an early playoff data point for comparing the Big Ten to the SEC.

Overview

  • No. 15 Michigan visits No. 18 Oklahoma on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET in Norman on ABC, with ESPN College GameDay on site.
  • Oddsmakers list Oklahoma by roughly 4.5–5.5 points, and posted player props reflect cautious expectations for the freshman quarterback on the road.
  • Michigan’s Bryce Underwood debuted 21-of-31 for 251 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions, as Alabama transfer Justice Haynes ran for about 159 yards and three scores.
  • Oklahoma transfer John Mateer opened with 392 passing yards and three touchdowns plus a rushing score, and the Sooners yielded only three points in Week 1.
  • Michigan coach Sherrone Moore remains under NCAA scrutiny and will begin a two-game suspension after the game.
