Andrew Birkle and Tony Garcia are back on Hail Yes! to talk about Michigan football's huge win vs. Penn State. After a disastrous first half, Kyle Whittingham finally made the call that everyone had been discussing for weeks, benching Bryce Underwood for freshman Tommy Carr. The Wolverines went crazy in the second half with Carr under center, scoring 21 points after getting shutout in the first two quarters.

Is this move permanent? Will Underwood ever play again for Michigan? And what does Tommy Carr have to do to keep this job for the rest of this season and beyond?

All that and more now with Tony and Andrew.

Hail Yes! A Detroit Free Press Podcast About University of Michigan Sports

Can Tommy Carr save Michigan's season after Bryce Underwood benching?

Andrew Birkle, Shawn Windsor, Tony Garcia, Graham Couch and Chris Solari were LIVE on a massive crossover show from the Freep Sports Show, Spartan Speak and Hail Yes! The guys open the show by discussing the Michigan vs. Michigan State rivalry game on Saturday and what's at stake for both teams at the Big House. That conversation ventures into the changing college sports landscape and how much fans are still truly invested with players in their first rivalry game. Does it feel like this game has no juice? Then, the guys talk a little bit of college basketball after both the Spartans and Wolverines opened the season with wins on Monday. Who will be the better team this year and go further in March Madness?

Do Michigan & MSU fans still care about rivalry as much in transfer portal era?

Andrew Birkle and Tony Garcia were LIVE on Hail Yes! to discuss rivalry week in the Mitten State. Both the Spartans and Wolverines are limping into this year's game in Ann Arbor, but that means a win would go a long ways for both programs. Andrew and Tony open the show by discussing the U-M-MSU game and if new coach Kyle Whittingham really understands the rivalry and where it sits in the pecking order after perhaps overcompensating with his comments in reference to Ohio State after the Rutgers game. Then the guys get to some news and notes, including that Tommy Carr has been named Michigan's starter for the "foreseeable future" and that the kicking competition might be opened up.

All that and more with Tony and Andrew.

Does Kyle Whittingham understand Michigan-MSU rivalry?

Andrew Birkle and Tony Garcia were LIVE on Hail Yes! to discuss the #Michiganfootball loss to #Indiana in Week 8 at the Big House. Where do the Wolverines go from here after benching Bryce Underwood for Tommy Carr, who didn't provide the same spark against the Hoosiers that he did in the Penn State game. How much blame should offensive coordinator Jason Beck get for an offense that just doesn't have answers? And what does a successful season look like for Michigan football from here on out? 

All that and more with Tony and Andrew.
