Michigan loses again and the noise around Kyle Whittingham’s job grows as Oregon keeps playoff hopes alive

Oregon beat Michigan 31-7, keeping its College Football Playoff hopes alive while intensifying pressure on Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham after another defeat. The result leaves Oregon needing to keep winning, while Michigan faces two ranked opponents to finish its season.

Oregon quarterback Dylan Raiola threw touchdown passes of 60 yards to Jeremiah McClellan and 59 yards to Dakorien Moore, and also found Da’Juan Riggs for a score. Michigan’s Savion Hiter ran 70 yards for its only touchdown; after quarterback Bryce Underwood was replaced by Tommy Carr, Oregon stopped the Wolverines on fourth down at the Ducks’ three-yard line. Oregon next plays Michigan State, while Michigan faces No. 4 UCLA and No. 20 Ohio State.
