Michigan shook off a sloppy start and eventually delivered the domination expected in a 52-17 win over UTEP, but what did the performance reveal about the Wolverines heading into Big Ten play? The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb and Josh Newkirk break down Bryce Underwood’s encouraging step forward as Michigan put more on his plate with RPOs and dropback passing, plus the emergence of Andrew Marsh and J.J. Buchanan as a dangerous receiving tandem. They also examine the continued ball-security concerns, a reshuffled offensive line, and a running game that finally found its footing after halftime. On the other side of the ball, Michigan’s defense overcame a few early breakdowns before overwhelming UTEP, with the Wolverines’ increasingly impressive front-seven depth taking center stage. And after young standouts like Tommy Carr got their chance to flash late, Webb and Newkirk assess where Michigan made real progress, what still needs cleaning up, and what it all means with a much bigger test against Iowa looming.(01:17) – Bryce Underwood Shows More Passing Progress(05:19) – Getting Andrew Marsh the Football Was Clearly a Priority(13:07) – Michigan’s Defensive Line Hype Looks Real(19:47) – Webb Believes Tommy Carr Is Going to Be a Player(22:57) – Michigan Finishes Non-Conference Play 3-0
