Michigan QB Bryce Underwood can block, too

Bryce Underwood had some impressive throws in the first half of the Michigan football season opener against New Mexico, but one of his best plays so far has been a block.

You don't always want your quarterback acting as a lead blocker. Underwood didn't actually, but after former Alabama transfer Justice Haynes broke a tackle on a run, Underwood helped spring him for a touchdown with a pretty good block, knocking back a defender.

It was the second touchdown run of the game for Haynes, who opened the scoring with a 56-yard touchdown run on the opening drive of the game for the Wolverines.
