How did Michigan upset Oklahoma with Bryce Underwood? One word: Defense

ANN ARBOR, MI – Meet the king of the rock fight.

The granite king wears a short-sleeve maize hoodie and a blue hat with a block ‘M’ on it. He rides a motorcycle to work, and he coaches a team that’s improbably, controversially, maddeningly, and more than a little unbelievably undefeated.

The king of the rock fight calls Michigan home.

Kyle Whittingham never coached a boulder battle he thought he couldn’t win. It’s early days for him up here in Big Ten land, but Whitt looks much the same as he did in the Big 12, and the Mountain West before that.

A good quarterback is gravy for him. You can have your gunslinger. Whittingham will take a 6-yard game-winning touchdown drive set up by a turnover, and a fourth-down stop to preserve a victory.

Ugly doesn’t begin to describe No. 24 Michigan’s 17-10 upset of No. 10 Oklahoma, but it’ll look like 2-0 to the tens of thousands singing “Mr. Brightside” at the Big House.

"The defense is holding down the fort," Whittingham aptly said.

Whittingham's not a Michigan Man by birth, but you can't deny he sort of fits here. Defense always fits here.

“This is Michigan," offensive…
