Quote of the week

“Personally, to be candid, I’ve been waiting for this moment to kind of look around and say, ‘Yeah, well, he is just a freshman.’ And it really hasn’t happened. He’s handled the emotion of the game well, in my opinion. He’s handled two really great environments but tough road environments, both in Norman and Lincoln. He’s handled them well. We do a lot on offense. He’s got control at times at the line of scrimmage. [Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach] Coach [Chip] Lindsey and [assistant quarterbacks coach] Josh Sinagoga have done a great job getting him ready to play.”

— Michigan co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Steve Casula on freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood
