Author: 247Sports, Michigan Football, Michigan Wolverines, Michigan, Michigan athletics, College Football September 22, 2026 Duration: 1:30:10
A new quarterback takes the MMQB chair as former Michigan signal-caller Shea Patterson joins The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb for his debut episode to break down Bryce Underwood's continued growth in Michigan's 52-17 win over UTEP. Patterson goes inside the details of Underwood's encouraging performance and then the focus shifts to No. 17 Iowa and the start of Big Ten play, as Patterson explains how Underwood can attack the Hawkeyes' disciplined defense, why stressing their safeties could unlock Michigan's play-action game, and where the Wolverines may find opportunities to finally make defenses pay for crowding the line of scrimmage. It's a quarterback-focused look at the latest sign of progress and the next step he'll need to take as Michigan enters conference play.(00:00) Shea Patterson Takes Over Monday Morning Quarterback(04:21) Shea on Five-Star Pressure and Coming to Michigan(07:33) Shea Says Bryce Underwood Is Getting Better Every Week(09:55) Michigan Puts More Back on Bryce's Plate Against UTEP(12:54) Bryce's Reads and Arm Talent Show Real Progress(20:18) Andrew Marsh and JJ Buchanan Can Make Life Easier for Bryce(24:50) Shea Remembers the Pressure of Being Michigan's Quarterback(28:42) Shea's Biggest Coaching Priority for Bryce Before Iowa(31:31) Bryce Looks Much More Comfortable Diagnosing Defenses(38:01) Shea Explains How He Would Attack Iowa's Defense(40:35) Ball Security Becomes Critical Before Big Ten Play(42:35) Shea Reflects on His Favorite Michigan Memories(47:48) Overtime Q&A Begins(50:20) Shea Believes Bryce Can Continue Expanding as a Passer(51:36) Shea Names the Receivers Who Made His Job Easiest(53:47) Shea Shares His Favorite Harbaugh Story and Toughest Road Environments(57:08) Shea Explains Learning When to Climb the Pocket(1:00:31)
