History

Historical Context

In 1995, after starter Scott Dreisbach was sidelined, Lloyd Carr inserted backup Brian Griese, guiding Michigan to a 9-4 season and a win over Ohio State. The 2024 coaching staff repeated the tactic by swapping Bryce Underwood for Tommy Carr, whose run helped secure the win over Indiana in the regular-season finale.
