Michigan

Big Ten · 2026 season

The story so far

Michigan fans spent the season fixated on Jason Beck's play calling and a run game that couldn't push anyone, with misery peaking at 99 after the loss to IU. The quarterback anger shifted from Underwood to hope in Tommy Carr, but at 5-3 even wins feel joyless.
