JJ Buchanan says establishing a run game against the Sooners will be critical. "That's a big part of us," the Utah transfer said Monday night on the "Inside Michigan Football" radio show.
Though the Wolverines didn't look particularly good in their opener and were lucky to escape with a win, Oklahoma coach Brent Venables believes Michigan remains dangerous.
Michigan football opened its 2026 season with a stunning Hail Mary to beat Western Michigan. Here's who stood out.
Following a well-executed first drive, there weren't many highlights for Bryce Underwood and Michigan's offense until the game's final play.
Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood had a pretty odd reaction after barely surviving Western Michigan in the season opener. Trailing 12-7, Underwood’s first Hail Mary appeared to fall incomplete with the clock at zero.
The Wolverines were 27 1/2-point favorites in Coach Kyle Whittingham's debut. The Broncos and their stingy defense thought they'd secured a historic upset when Underwood's first Hail Mary sailed out of bounds with the clock expired.
