Kyle Whittingham Publicly Throws Bryce Underwood Under the Bus to Defend His Michigan Staff

Kyle Whittingham has spent the past two weeks answering questions about Michigan’s offense. And after defeats to Iowa and Minnesota, the questions have become harder to avoid. Bryce Underwood has struggled to move the ball consistently, Jason Beck’s play-calling has come under scrutiny, and the Wolverines are 0-2 in Big Ten play. Whittingham’s answer on October 12 on WXYZ-TV Detroit offered a glimpse of where he believes the problem lies. “How do you separate the situations and the decisions he’s (Bryce Underwood) making versus the play calling that’s putting him in those positions?” WXYZ-TV reporter Tina Nguyen asked Whittingham.
