Meyer Calls Michigan's Season A 'Train Wreck' After Minnesota Loss

Urban Meyer, the former Ohio State head coach, described Michigan's 2025 season as "a train wreck" following the Wolverines' loss at Minnesota. Speaking on his podcast "The Triple Option," Meyer said he saw no quick fix for the program and placed much of the blame beyond quarterback Bryce Underwood, saying he didn't sense "passion, energy and toughness" from Michigan's sideline during the game.

Michigan fell to Minnesota in Week 5, the Golden Gophers' first home win over the Wolverines since 1977, a game that served as the broadcast site for FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff." The defeat came a week after Michigan lost at home to Iowa on a last-second, 16-yard touchdown pass. The Wolverines' only clean result since their Week 1 win over Western Michigan - secured on a disputed 47-yard Hail Mary - has left them at 3-2 and out of the rankings entering a Week 6 bye. The season marks the first for head coach Kyle Whittingham, who arrived from Utah. online floorball betting site

Underwood, now in his second year as Michigan's starter, has thrown for 881 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions, completing 59.3% of his passes, and has added 212 rushing yards and two scores. Nearly three-quarters of his completions have gone to receivers JJ Buchanan and Andrew Marsh. Michigan's offense ranks near the bottom of the Big Ten in total yards, passing yards and scoring, while its defense - led by linebacker Troy Bowles and edge rusher John Henry Daley - remains among the conference's best, ranking in the top five in points and yards allowed.

Michigan returns from its bye to host Penn State on October 17, the first of four remaining games against ranked opponents, including Indiana, Oregon, UCLA and Ohio State. Meyer, now a FOX studio analyst, went 7-0 against Michigan during his tenure at Ohio State from 2012 to 2018, a stretch that included the Buckeyes' 2014 national championship. He is scheduled to appear with the "Big Noon Kickoff" crew this Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska, ahead of the Cornhuskers' home game against Indiana.
