Overview
- Michigan has installed Jason Beck’s RPO‑first offense that explicitly includes designed quarterback runs to leverage Bryce Underwood’s rushing ability and quick releases.
- Coaches graded Underwood’s fall camp work as a clear improvement in mechanics, footwork and pocket poise based on practice and scrimmage evaluations.
- Offensive coordinator Jason Beck has cautioned Underwood to avoid trying to run through tacklers and to make crisper decisions in scramble and RPO situations.
- Underwood spent the offseason with private coach Jordan Palmer and worked closely with new QB coach Koy Detmer Jr., a combination staff sources say helped align technique and training points.
- All reported gains remain untested in live play and the staff frames the Sept. 5 season opener as the key validation while keeping backups and player health under close watch.
