After a 17-point win over New Mexico on Saturday night, Michigan football will face its first true test of the 2025 season against Oklahoma.
There were some spectacular moments from Bryce Underwood against the Lobos. Justice Haynes was stellar, too. The defense was just fine. People have been worrying about nothing. Michigan have up 271 yards and one play of more than 20 yards.
New Mexico scored on a trick play and a drive that featured a 25-yard pass, which wasn't a completion, being called a completion, after not being reviewed, and the worst targeting penalty in college football history.
Regardless, that, along with frequent substitution patterns can help explain the 17 points. That's all to say we didn't learn much about Michigan football in Week 1, outside of the fact that Bryce Underwood might be the most talented quarterback the Wolverines have ever had.
Week 2 is when we start to learn just how good Michigan football can be this season and here are five questions ahead of the Oklahoma game.
is Bryce Underwood ready for primetime?
It was just New Mexico, but he sure seemed ready last week. The third-and-14 throw was extremely impressive. The coaches didn't shy away from putting the ball in Underwood's hands in a key spot.
The fact that he delivered in that moment should have Michigan football fans very excited. Underwood can make all the throws. He's got impressive movement skills, and even though he didn't run last week, I think we'll see a few runs in key situations this week, just like we used to see from J.J. McCarthy. His biggest runs were reserved for the biggest games.
Underwood is a competitor -- just look at the block he threw -- and we'll see if he's ready to produce in a game like this.
