Michigan replaces quarterback Bryce Underwood with true freshman Tommy Carr during Saturday’s Big Ten game against Penn State. Multiple outlets report Underwood is pulled after a scoreless first half as Michigan trails 3–0, with Carr taking over for the start of the second half or by the third quarter.
The Athletic provides additional detail, stating Underwood completes 5 of 11 passes for 43 yards, with two interceptions and no touchdowns in the first half. Other reports describe the move as a response to Underwood’s performance in a crucial conference matchup. While outlets vary slightly on the exact timing of when the change occurs, they agree on the central decision: Michigan makes a quarterback switch from Underwood to Carr against Penn State after a poor first-half showing.
