Tavien St. Clair and Bryce Underwood will be forever linked. As the top two overall recruits in the 2025 recruiting class, both players will be forever compared to each other. St. Clair has yet to start a game for the Ohio State football team, while Underwood started all of last season.
In The Game, the Buckeyes crushed Underwood and TTUN 27-9. Underwood was horrible, and fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes let Underwood hear how overrated they think he is. Underwood finished that game 8/18 for 63 yards and an interception. It was also the final game of the Sherrone Moore era.
On Saturday afternoon, both the Buckeyes and the Wolverines hosted their annual Spring Games. St. Clair was one of the clear winners, and he showcased his big arm and was throwing it all over the field. In contrast, Underwood had a horrendous performance.
Ohio State football fans show glee over horrible Bryce Underwood performance
Underwood finished the Spring Game 3/9 for 22 yards in a hilariously bad performance. It was cold in Ann Arbor, but it wasn't as rainy as it was in Columbus for Ohio State's Spring Game. Ohio State fans took to social media to clown Underwood for his performance.
Last year it was Sherrone Moore. What is it now?

In contrast, St. Clair finished the Spring Game 9/21 for 166 yards and a beautiful long touchdown pass. St. Clair won't start this season, but he will next year. Julian Sayin is still the starter after finishing last season as a Heisman Trophy Finalist.
Meanwhile, Underwood is likely going to start again this season for the Wolverines. If he keeps playing as he did against the Buckeyes and in this Spring Game, TTUN is in big trouble in Kyle Whittingham's first season. Michigan won't have any chance to beat the Buckeyes with that kind of performance.
Ohio State fans can be happy that they watched Underwood play so poorly while watching their own team show off its elite defense. Now, it's time for players to get individual work in during the summer to get better.
