I didn’t think Michigan could flip Bryce Underwood from LSU to the Wolverines. But last week, the Wolverines did just that. And while it seems like a loss for Brian Kelly and the Tigers, it could ultimately be a move that works out for his squad.

The offensive coordinator transition from Mike Denbrock, who left LSU after last season to return to Notre Dame, to Joe Sloan, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach to replace Denbrock, has not gone well. The Tigers are ninth in the SEC in yards per play (6.11) and 11th in points per game (28.6).

The Tigers already have four scholarship quarterbacks on their roster, including Nussmeier, redshirt freshman Rickie Collins, junior AJ Swann and freshman Colin Hurley. Swann transferred to LSU from Vanderbilt this past offseason, while Collins and Hurley were four-star signees.
