The Surprising Reason Dave Portnoy Stands by Bryce Underwood Despite Setbacks

This year, Underwood has completed just 67 of 113 passes for 881 yards with five touchdowns. He has also thrown four interceptions. Meanwhile, he has two touchdowns on the ground.

Adding pressure to Underwood is the backup quarterback. Tommy Carr was not the same level of recruit that Underwood was, but he carries a gravitas that is hard to ignore. His brother, CJ Carr, is projected as a top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft and has been dominant at Notre Dame. Meanwhile, his grandfather is Lloyd Carr. Carr was an assistant coach at Michigan from 1980 through 1994. Carr was then the head coach from 1995 through 2007, going 122-40 and winning a national championship.
