Bryce Underwood had a modest view of his first performance as the Michigan football starting quarterback following a 251-yard effort in a 34-17 win over New Mexico.
The 6-foot-4, 228-pound freshman was 21-of-31 for 251 yards. He was sacked twice and threw one touchdown pass compared to zero interceptions. Underwood didn't fumble or throw the ball to the other team.
His ability to play a clean game was important. He did that. Underwood also flipped the momentum with a two-minute touchdown drive that included a 39-yard completion on third-and-14.

Michigan football couldn't have made that play last season.
