Tommy Carr Replaces Benched Bryce Underwood, Leads Michigan to 21-18 Win over Penn State
- On Saturday, Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham benched quarterback Bryce Underwood during the third quarter against Penn State, replacing him with Tommy Carr to ignite the Wolverines' lackluster offense.
- Underwood's struggles since arriving last year included failing to meet hype surrounding a $12 million financial package and predictions of winning "a couple Heismans and at least one natty."
- Against Penn State, Underwood completed 5-of-11 passes for 43 yards and two interceptions, including one snagged by cornerback Josiah Zayas, leaving Michigan trailing 3-0 at the break.
- Whittingham told CBS Sports' Jenny Dell at halftime that the team needed to get going offensively after five drives yielded three punts and two picks for 80 total yards.
- Tommy Carr, a four-star prospect from Saline, Michigan, is the grandson of former Wolverines head coach Lloyd Carr. His brother, CJ Carr, plays for Notre Dame, continuing the family's deep ties to college football.
