Michigan vs. New Mexico final score, results: Bryce Underwood throws 1st-college touchdown image

Michigan will be looking to improve after a down year for its standards a year ago, finishing 8-5 overall and 5-4 in the Big Ten. 

With a matchup against New Mexico at Michigan Stadium, the Wolverines have an excellent chance to get the season started on the right foot. 

Bryce Underwood will start as a freshman, making him the youngest quarterback in Michigan football history. The hype is high, the paycheck was higher, but if Underwood is as good as advertised, it'll all be worth it.
