It wasn't a perfect night for Michigan football, but all things considered, it was pretty good all the same.
Bryce Underwood won his first start for the Wolverines without much drama. There were a few worrisome moments, but Michigan led wire-to-wire before winning the game by 17.
A weird targeting call, a trick play, and more defensive rotations than we will likely see next week against the Sooners, aided the scoring efforts of New Mexico.
The defense will need to play better. The offense will, too. But Underwood is the real deal. That's the biggest takeaway after he completed 21 of 31 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown.
