Bryce Underwood throws for 300 yards

This might be the boldest prediction of the bunch. The biggest concern might be the number of pass attempts he gets, which shouldn't be a question at this point.

Underwood is the starting quarterback for a reason. He was the No. 1 overall recruit for a reason. Stop calling plays like Davis Warren is playing quarterback. It does a disservice to Bryce, and the entire offense.

This offensive line isn't good enough, at least not yet, to open holes consistently against a stacked box. Michigan has the quarterback to loosen up the box, even with some easy throws on the outside.

However, the Wolverines have to abandon the conservative mindset they had in Oklahoma. Throw the ball on early downs. Throw the ball down the field. McCulley is a proven deep threat. Channing Goodwin has a catch of over 20 yards in each of the first two games.

It's not clear if Marlin Klein will come back this week; however, the Wolverines will have the talent edge this week, like they do most weeks. Central Michigan surrendered 340 passing yards last week, so U-M needs to let it rip.

As long as they do, Underwood will throw for 300 yards for the first time in a Michigan uniform.
