Why Michigan can cover
Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood has been impressive under center for the Wolverines. He is not only one of the Big Ten's top passing threats, but can also be a problem to opposing defenses in the running game as well. In six games, he has completed 92 of 154 passes (59.7%) for 1,210 yards and five touchdowns with two interceptions. He has also rushed 32 times for 177 yards (5.5 average) and three touchdowns.
Junior running back Justice Haynes, who is listed as questionable after leaving last week's game, has been the perfect complement in the running game. He leads the Wolverines with 95 carries for 705 yards (7.4 average) and eight touchdowns. If he can't go, look for sophomore Jordan Marshall to see extended action.
