ANN ARBOR — Bryce Underwood ran often, just as Oklahoma suspected. The Sooners just couldn’t stop Michigan’s sophomore quarterback. “We knew he was going to run,” said Oklahoma linebacker Owen Heinecke. “He’s a good athlete, makes people miss. He (forced) a lot of missed tackles.”
Jordan Marshall scored on a tiebreaking 1-yard run set up by an interception midway through the fourth quarter and Bryce Underwood ran for a 38-yard touchdown to help Michigan bounce back and beat No.
The Sooners' defense held Michigan to 17 points in Saturday's loss, but they also missed their fair share of tackles.
