Underwood was awful, but so was the run game. I've seen some bad Michigan offenses before, but this might be the worst one. They're not one-dimensional, there's nothing they do well.

Was Denard Robinson a better passing QB than Underwood…?

I'd say pretty easily yes. The dude had over 6k passing yards on his career. Hard to see how Underwood gets anywhere near that.

Robinson was far from a perfect thrower, but those offenses could score points and were dragged down by terrible defenses.

Denard put up numbers at QB, he was not pass first and wasn’t amazing as a passer but the dude got it done and was tons of fun to watch.

He got a lot better at throwing
