Ohio State Legend Urban Meyer: Michigan Is A 'Train Wreck'

A train wreck is defined as "a violent and destructive crash involving a train" or "an utter disaster or mess." But for Urban Meyer, that's just the 2026 Michigan Wolverines.

"I don't see a fast solution at all, because I have not said this yet, it's a train wreck right now," Meyer said about the Wolverines on the latest episode of "The Triple Option." "I stood right there and watched it [on the sideline against Minnesota] … This is not all on [quarterback Bryce Underwood].

Unfortunately, he plays that position that is all on him.

You know, whenever they win, the quarterback gets too much glory, and when they lose, they get too much blame.

But that sideline, I just didn't feel the dudes anywhere.

And I was looking.

I was staring.

You know, plays are going on, and I'm staring because I did that for so long.

I'm saying, 'Where are the grown-a-- men?' "And I didn't feel it.

I didn't see it when there had to be a big stop.

I didn't see the energy, and I just didn't see it … passion, energy and toughness.

I didn't see it." Michigan is coming off a Week 5 loss on the road to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, which marked their first win at home over the Wolverines since 1977; it was the site of FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff." This defeat for Michigan came one week after it lost at home to the Iowa Hawkeyes on a walk-off, 16-yard touchdown pass.

And, of course, the Wolverines beat the Western Michigan Broncos at home in Week 1 on a 47-yard, Hail Mary pass, which came after one second was controversially placed back on the clock.

The Wolverines, who are in their first season with former Utah Utes coach Kyle Whittingham as their head coach, are 3-2 and unranked.
