Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood was benched in the second half of Saturday's matchup with Penn State.

The Michigan Wolverines made a difficult decision during Saturday's matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions. Bryce Underwood -- the program's starting quarterback for the last two seasons, a former top overall recruit, a team captain, and one of the highest-paid players in college football -- was benched after throwing two interceptions in the first half at Michigan Stadium. Underwood has been subject to much criticism this season, as he not only failed to take a step forward but actually seemed to take a step back as the program transitioned from Sherrone Moore to Kyle Whittingham.

Carr is royalty in Ann Arbor, Mich. -- he is the grandson of both legendary head coach Lloyd Carr, who won the 1997 National Championship and went 122-40 during his time with the program from 1995-2007, and safety Tom Curtis, who was a two-time All-American at the school and went on to play for the Baltimore Colts and won Super Bowl V. Tommy's brother, CJ, is the starting quarterback at Notre Dame. Not running the ball well.

We got to get something going.” The Wolverines trailed 3-0 at the time of the change.
