This past weekend, the Michigan Wolverines suffered their second defeat of the season, falling 20-14 to Minnesota after some predicted that this would be the campaign in which quarterback Bryce Underwood emerged as a star. Despite the Wolverines holding a 14-7 halftime lead, the Golden Gophers shut them out in the second half, scoring 13 unanswered points. Underwood finished with just 101 yards and no passing touchdowns after completing 10 of 21 passes.
He also threw two interceptions and was sacked three times by Minnesota's defense. Along with that, the Golden Gophers held the ball for 15 minutes longer than Michigan, preventing the Wolverines from finding any real offensive rhythm. College football coaching legend and current analyst Urban Meyer was at Minnesota's stadium for "Big Noon Kickoff" and watched the game unfold.
On his podcast, he sounded off about what he saw from Michigan in the loss, and according to Meyer, there wasn't much to like.

It's an enigma right now," Meyer said. "Three turnovers right in front of me; bang, bang, bang. You can blame Bryce Underwood all you want.
I don't see any explosiveness on offense. I see a quarterback getting hammered. "I have not said this yet.
It's a train wreck right now. I stood there and watched it," the former Ohio State coach said on this week's "Triple Option Podcast." Michigan's defense has been one of the bright spots this season, ranking 23rd in the nation with 15.8 points allowed per game. On the other side of the ball, Michigan hasn't found nearly the same success.
