Barstool Sports founder and Michigan superfan Dave Portnoy shared his frustration following the No. 15 Wolverines’ loss 31-13 to USC. The loss dropped Sherrone Moore's program to 4-2 in the 2025 season.
"I'm worried about Michigan, and the thing is, I don't know what's going on here,” Portnoy said in a video post on X.
“Can't stop the run. Play calling on offense, to me, is disgusting. Makes me want to puke. Makes me want to vomit. Run, run, run, run, pass. That's like day one sh*t.”•
Portnoy was also critical of UM's handling of freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, as Moore and offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey have taken a more conservative approach in handling the five-star phenom.
“Underwood can throw a football,” Portnoy said. We have enough on offense to let him throw. Let him f**king throw the football. Maybe be less predictable. Something's gonna get fixed fast. I'd start it with maybe you let the kid play. Maybe you let the kid throw."Portnoy, who played a key role in helping Michigan land Underwood with a $12 million deal backed by billionaire Larry Ellison. Portnoy had also called the quarterback “the single best freshman player ever in college football” after his first start.
As for Michigan's playoff chance after the Week 7 loss, Portnoy has a brutal answer:
"Do I think we're a playoff team right now? No. Truth serum. No."Michigan will host Washington next week.
