Kyle Whittingham says the starting quarterback for Michigan's game vs.
Michigan · OregonThe Wolverines have used both Bryce Underwood and Tommy Carr under center this season. Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham spoke to reporters at his weekly press conference on Monday.
Whittingham was asked about the firing of former offensive coordinator Jason Beck on Sunday, but he also looked ahead to this weekend's game against Oregon. The Michigan head coach is apparently undecided on the starting quarterback, telling reporters it is "TBD" after the loss to Michigan State and the offensive coordinator change.
Michigan has used both Bryce Underwood and true freshman Tommy Carr as its starting quarterback this season. He added that Michigan needs better play from all its offensive units moving forward.
Underwood began the season as the incumbent starter but started slowly as the Wolverines barely beat Western Michigan in a controversial Week 1 win , and then beat then-No. 11 Oklahoma 17-10. The sophomore quarterback has seen action in seven of Michigan's games this year.
