Michigan Wolverines suffer 15-6 loss to Michigan State

The Michigan Wolverines fell to the Michigan State Spartans with a 15-6 loss at Michigan Stadium. The defeat marks a significant low point for the program in head coach Kyle Whittingham’s first season, characterized by a struggling offense that produced only 192 total yards and four turnovers.

During the game, freshman quarterback Tommy Carr started in place of Bryce Underwood, who has been sidelined since being benched in mid-October. Whittingham expressed frustration following the loss, stating the team took “three steps back” and noting the need to address serious issues in the run and pass games.

The loss to the Spartans, who were previously winless in the Big Ten, leaves Michigan with a 5-4 record. Despite the setback, Whittingham indicated he would not make coaching staff changes immediately, opting to evaluate the situation after the conclusion of the regular season.
