I agree, our fan base and athletics in general these days can be brutal. The whole NIL thing opens the door to heightened expectations and criticism.

Can't think of a player that has been more of a lightening rod for praise or damnnation from U-M or rival fan bases. Think of the weight on his 19 year old shoulders. I for one, am rooting for him to succeed!

Back to the board

It’s amazing how much this fan base hates Bryce Underwood. I understand it to a point, but the amount of vitriol is off the charts.* - By WOK September 6, 2026 at 10:04:46 AM

- Unreasonable expectations, poor play, college football makes people crazy/attracts crazy people, racism. Quite a combo.* - By Ev September 6, 2026 at 10:23:02 AM

- I've defended him, but last night was not good. OL sucked but wasn't as bad on passing plays. The problem is Bryce zeroes on his first option and doesn't look past that. He had open receivers last night but didn't acknowledge them. When he fled the pocket, Western was ready and watched his eyes.* - By el fuego September 6, 2026 at 10:19:03 AM
  - I don’t necessarily agree that he had a bunch of open receivers on plays he didn’t make, but I’m sure someone smarter will do a full breakdown and tell us. It’s easy to watch live and see a split second after he throws that someone looks open because their defender has already reacted to the throw* - By WOK September 6, 2026 at 10:27:21 AM
    - I already re-watched the game this morning and yes he did. - By el fuego September 6, 2026 at 10:45:14 AM
    - Cont: Bryce didn’t play well, I’m not trying to make an argument that he did* - By WOK September 6, 2026 at 10:27:59 AM

  - MAGA Bryce by default. sad.* - By WOK September 6, 2026 at 10:14:28 AM
- The biggest problem was the o-line, no? Couldn’t run, couldn’t pass protect* - By Brad September 6, 2026 at 10:07:01 AM
  - Imo yeah. I have a feeling UFR and PFF will rip them to shreds. Bryce had a few high consequence mistakes so it’s not like he doesn’t deserve negativity.* - By WOK September 6, 2026 at 10:12:09 AM
- He was good as a true freshman. But the hype was off the charts and made it impossible to live up to. As for last night, I didn't open WR very much for him to throw to. We don't have a downfield pass game - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 10:06:57 AM
  - Rich, can you look into when we've had a good downfield pass game vs when we haven't. Does it have anything to do with the QB? * - By hambone September 6, 2026 at 10:41:19 AM
  - He was good in aggregate but so inconsistent. You can’t build an offense around that. One game this year but it doesn’t seem much different* - By harbaughdyssey September 6, 2026 at 10:10:27 AM
