Sherrone Moore Sets Boundaries for Bryce Underwood After Michigan’s Win

One notable highlight of Underwood's first college game came late in the first quarter. Michigan had the ball on the Lobos' five-yard line with a crucial third down and three on the way.

Underwood took the snap and handed the ball off to running back Justice Haynes, a transfer from the Alabama Crimson Tide, who then cut out left. Underwood trailed behind him, laying out a powerful block with his throwing arm on a New Mexico defender to help Haynes run the ball into the end zone.

After the game, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore addressed the block, bluntly explaining that he told Underwood that it was a poor decision.

"I just told him not to throw any more blocks," Moore said.

Moore Mostly Had Praise For Underwood

Regardless of Underwood's questionable decision to make that block — a mistake which can be largely attributed to his inexperience and youth — Moore still remained extremely positive about the quarterback's performance.

"I've seen those throws live, but to watch him do it in the game was awesome," Moore said.

Moore also complimented Underwood's composure, often uncommon for players this young, stating, "the poise that he had throughout the game, not just on the field, but off the field... the kid is just cerebral."

The Wolverines will face the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners next on Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. on ABC.
