The Michigan Wolverines enter the 2025 season with a revamped offense and passing attack, headlined by the addition of freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood and new coordinator Chip Lindsey.

TheWolverine.com’s Anthony Broome and Clayton Sayfie discuss the “good news, bad news” section of the Lindy’s preview magazine, which featured the Michigan offense, and take your questions.

 ”The fixed part has everything to do with the quarterback position,” Sayfie said on the show. “They could have run it back with the same group of receivers they had a year ago, but with these quarterbacks that they now have on the roster, and it would look completely different. I wrote right under quoting Lindy’s there that it’s gonna feel like a breath of fresh air, even if it’s not a dynamic passing attack, even if it’s not an above-average power-four passing attack. Even if it’s just average, which I think they have much more upside than that, but I’m just trying to give it a baseline here.

“As we look at it, I think it’s gonna look so much better. And then you add that you did bring in some guys who might be able to take it to another level from what we saw a year ago from a pass-catching standpoint. You lost Colston Loveland, so that hurts. But wide receiver-wise, I don’t think you can get much worse. Tyler Morris was your leading receiver and he left, but he wasn’t very productive. And there were times last year where where guys were somewhat open, but the quarterbacks couldn’t find them.

“So again, I think to me it comes so much down to the quarterback play and what Bryce Underwood’s gonna bring. And if it’s Mikey Keene at different points in the season, what he could bring as well, because it was just so subpar, beyond subpar. What we saw was about as bad as it gets. And it’s not a knock on any individual because they did their best and they were the ones thrown in there. But it was just so beyond anything we thought was really possible.”
