NOVEMBER 2025 ❱ THE WOLVERINE 17 ❱ INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS It gives you a guy on the opposite side of [graduate Donaven] McCulley that you feel pretty good about making plays. He's proven that. I think he had nine targets the other night and caught eight of them … For us, it's continuing to get those opportunities outside, and we talked about the tight ends as well. They're going to be a huge part of what we're doing." — Offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey on freshman wide receiver ANDREW MARSH Michigan is flirting with mediocrity, and if the Wolverines aren't careful, it could become a long-term relation- ship. You could make a strong case that Michigan's performance against USC was the most discourag- ing result of Moore's tenure. Last year's loss to Texas was bad, especially because it happened at home, but the Longhorns were a top-four team and Michigan was nursing its national championship hangover. Road losses to Washington and Illinois were ugly, but those could be pinned on a talent void at quarterback. The Wolverines no longer have that excuse. Even if he's just a freshman, Bryce Un- derwood is one of the most talented quarterbacks in college football. He's supposed to be getting bet- ter with every start. If Michigan's offense has grown since that Week 2 loss to Oklahoma, it didn't show against a USC defense that gave up 31 points to Michigan State and 34 to Illinois." — The Athletic's Austin Meek after Michigan's 31-13 loss to USC Oct. 11 Hard to imagine safety CHARLES WOODSON JR. playing his college football anywhere other than Michigan." — Rivals insider Steve Wiltfong, placing a prediction for U-M to land the 2027 defensive back and son of former Michigan Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson (L-R: Charles, Charles Jr. and head coach Sherrone Moore) $6 Million Grant from the Weiser Charitable Founda- tion and longtime Michigan philanthropist and Regent Emeritus Ron Weiser established two endowed funds, the Marc A.
