Don't handcuff Bryce Underwood
Outside of special teams, which has been a struggle for Michigan football, the one concern is the Wisconsin pass rush. The Badgers have 10 sacks so far this season. The Wolverines are running for more than 200 yards per game.
The run blocking was much better against Nebraska. Yet, Nebraska has a weak defensive line. We'll see if the pass protection holds up against Wisconsin.
Either way, Michigan can't get lulled into being too conversative. Let Underwood throw the ball early and often. Let him run. Don't force the running backs to run into a loaded box.
Michigan should able to throw the ball with ease on Saturday, especially if tight ends Hogan Hansen and Marlin Klein are healthy. Underwood stood out against Central Michigan, but the Wolverines kept him under wraps against Nebraska and Oklahoma.
The freshman didn't have to do much against Nebraska. He had 61 rushing yards and a 38-yard touchdown run, but he only threw for 105 yards. It would be nice to see him have a big day against a Big Ten opponent.
Hopefully, he will get the chance.
