The first Michigan Spring Game under Kyle Whittingham ended with a 7-6 win for the Maize team over the Blue team. Sam Webb and Josh Newkirk of The Michigan Insider provided a postgame analysis from the Big House. They began by reviewing Bryce Underwood’s performance; the sophomore quarterback completed 3 of 9 passes for 22 yards during the first-quarter thud period. Although his showing was mixed, Coach Whittingham noted it did not reflect Underwood’s progress throughout the spring. The discussion then shifted to freshman quarterback Tommy Carr, who impressed with his decision-making and improvisational skills, leading the team in rushing. Five-star freshman running back Savion Hiter also stood out for his power, footwork, and speed. Jordan Marshall demonstrated strong vision and burst, prompting a discussion of expectations for the 2026 running game. The defensive line performed well, with young players such as Benny Patterson, Lugard Edokpayi, Bobby Kanka, and Deyvid Palepale making notable contributions. While the defense is currently ahead of the offense, Whittingham explained that this is typical when implementing a new offensive system, as he experienced at Utah. The breakdown concluded by emphasizing the Wolverines’ strong buy-in and significant strength gains, which have contributed to the coaching staff’s confidence heading into the fall.
