Original subtitles

JERRY ALLEN: ...the run down.

[crowd cheering]

Second ever meeting between these two teams.

They go to the Sooners.

The two will line up in a victory formation.

And Oklahoma will let the clock run down.

Yeah, Oklahoma game.

I feel like they were the better team that day.

I feel like we played one of our worst games that day.

Preparation that week could have been

way better than what it was.

PRODUCER: What did they do to you specifically?

They didn't do shit to me. My bad.

Alright, re-ask that question. [laughing]

My bad, that was a natural replay, like, my bad.

PRODUCER: What did they do to push you off your game?

They didn't push me off my game. I just lost.

COMMENTATOR: Play action, Underwood, hit as he throws,

-and it's incomplete. -JERRY: There's your QB run

that many people have asked for, but no blocking up front

- for Bryce. - JON JANSEN: No.

Winning and losing is like two different things.

Losing, I feel like you get more feedback

to know what you need to work on.

JERRY: Michigan has a lot to work on.

I think I would probably start with an offensive line.

This was a big challenge tonight.

And let's just say it doesn't appear

that Michigan is there yet.

Just being comfortable being uncomfortable.

You know? You can always go back to find out

what you need to work on and wins.

But losses, you pay more attention

to the stuff that you need to really work on.

I feel like losses is your biggest teacher, honestly.

And that's what I took from it.

♪♪♪

REPORTER: Michigan falling at Oklahoma 24-13 last night.

They fall to 1-1.

Bryce Underwood in his second career start.

142 yards and no touchdowns.

Zero big-time throws. One turnover-worthy play.

So he wasn't as decisive in this game

as he was in week one.

So would you want to get dreads?

BRYCE: No. No shot.

Yes, but every...

football player seems like they have dreads.

BRYCE: Yeah.

DOUG: Underwood's only lost four times in high school.

But now he's in the Big Ten.

What happens the first time it doesn't go his way?

Losing my first road game...

I just wanted, like, the best crowds

in college football. It hurt at the moment.

Because I was trying to figure out my why's

and what's and what I need to do better

to be a better teammate, to be a better player.

Watching the film on it. There's a lot of things

I feel like I could've improved on.

And a lot of... I feel like,

I say missed opportunities on my behalf.

That I missed that I won't miss ever again, so...

Usually, I put the blame on me a lot.

I'll learn how to work on that though.

REPORTER: What is your confidence level

in Bryce Underwood over the next two games,

Central Michigan and Nebraska?

MOORE: I don't know what we're going to see out of him.

BRYCE: Adversity is, of course, a big thing of being great.

People can't see you fail, or you're a bust.

Because people, no matter what the situation is,

they have their own thoughts. Because people's emotions

are their emotions, of course. So, whatever I say

can't control or change anybody.

I tune it out, no matter what it is.

Whether it's hatred, uh...

positivity or anything like that.

Because I know how hard I worked at it, no matter what.

That would never, like, dictate how I feel

or where I see myself being in the next couple of years.

So, just being able to know your worth

and know how hard you worked for something

is one of my main mindsets

that I keep going through anything, so.

No matter what it is I have to do

to never lose again, I'm willing to do it.

I genuinely hate losing.

CYNTHIA: See you later, love you.

BRYCE: Love you too.

[soft chatter]

-All right, dude. -All right, man.

When I was younger, you know...

[chuckling]

When I was younger, it was like I used to just...

do whatever came to my mind.

And, like, now that I'm getting older,

like, at the age of 16 or 17, it's like

I'm starting to understand that

everything you do is with intention.

You just rely on your training and just stay on script

of what you're supposed to be doing the correct way,

and don't try to overdo your part.

Dante Moore actually helped me with this.

Before my first-ever college game,

he texted me and said, "It's not that much pressure.

"You did every single play that you're about to do tomorrow

over a thousand times in your life."

So, it's like... it's not...

It feels like it's nothing that I'm not prepared for,

not ready for, you know.

I was raised and taught to do, anything I do,

give 100% into it, no matter what it is.

Either I'm doing it 100%, or I'm not doing it at all.

I'd say my biggest "why" is because, since I was young,

my goal was to become a Hall of Famer.

In the NFL.

And as I got older...

I found another "why."

As well as it being my little sister

because she looks up to me.

And I just got to keep leading by example.

JON: I'm hearing some rumblings, some rumors.

Is Michigan not on the same page

with how to use Bryce Underwood?

Only has five carries for negative six yards

through his first two starts.

And they're going to be without Sherrone Moore.

He's suspended eight full days.

Basically, a two game suspension,

one full week leading up to Nebraska.

DOUG: So how do you deal with this as a quarterback,

especially a freshman?

It's a big question.

♪♪♪

MARJAHN: We're living out of boxes right now,

because we are about to move.

So I start packing up

and don't typically cook every day.

But since y'all are here, I'ma show you

what I would normally be doing.

I can't tell you what it feels like

until I turn the key and open the door.

But it has been an exciting journey so far.

And, you know, I credit it to my son in NIL.

He leveled his mama up, and, you know, we moving.

This is the last time I'ma cook till we move.

So, y'all better...

everything going right back to being packed up.

I have four boys. Darion, Dakorien, Dailon,

And a nine-year-old, my baby, Daxon, my favorite.

They know it. They're on a point system.

So if one mess up, you'd be falling in the rankings.

So... [chuckling]

Does your mom have a ranking system?

- Yes. - MARJAHN: Who's the favorite?

Kori...

me and Daxon be in competition sometimes.

Darion and Lee.

MARJAHN: You think you're ahead of Daxon?

Sometimes. Sometimes I do.

MARJAHN: You think Kori is ahead of Daxon?

Way ahead.

MARJAHN: You think so? Okay.

PRODUCER: What's Dakorien's relationship to his brothers?

[Marjahn chuckling]

What do you think a boy's relationship is?

They fight, they argue, they love each other,

they do everything together.

That's what the relationship is.

This is all of his rings and stuff

that he's won over the years.

MARJAHN: He's been in so many

all-star games in...

DAILON: There's, like, two or three that's mine.

I doubt it, probably two or three that you've lost.

He made you put them back up in here.

He swear he better than me at everything.

MARJAHN: Or is it the other way around?

[Marjahn laughing]

PRODUCER: Do you feel like your success

has made them feel like they need to work harder?

Yeah. Especially Dailon.

You know, just like, being that he's not, you know,

that far down the line as far as age and school

and stuff like that. All his friends know me.

He used to tell people that he was my brother.

So, it's like expectations.

DAILON: These three are Mom's, and the rest are his.

These two are from tournaments and this is from CCE.

DAKORIEN: Everything that I did, he tried to match.

He'll go out there, you know, try to, like,

do, like, so good,

just so he can come back and tell me.

I'm like, "My little brother, oh, I got number one."

Stuff like that.

You know, like, telling me because of everything

you know, that I received growing up.

[gentle music playing]

That's two. You suck, bro.

Oh, I'm gonna finish this.

Dailon did tell me he don't want to be

in my shadow and stuff like that

you know, just because, like, he's my brother.

I definitely understand that though. And I'm like,

I want him to have all the tools

that he needs to be successful regardless.

You suck.

-[laughing] -Finally...

Uh, yeah. I ain't--

I ain't gonna talk about it.

I mean, I feel like it made me, like, more of a man.

You know, I want to take care of my family.

DAILON: Why you put so many beans?

- DAKORIEN: It's good for you. - I like your hair, Mom.

DAKORIEN: Not having a lot growing up as far as housing.

Or not being able to eat or not having the lights on.

Having that as a motivation, you know, to go harder.

Just do my best to make sure, like,

they have everything that they need.

You know, whatever's, like, best for them.

I'm trying to make sure they got it.

MARJAHN: Fella, you got the dishes tonight?

- Yeah. - MARJAHN: What?

- What? - Just tell your mama--

MARJAHN: You got the dishes.

- DAILON: No, that's your job. - DAKORIEN: No.

DAN LANNING: What's the theme this week? Let it rip.

When we say let it rip, there is zero hesitation.

We're gonna take some shots.

This is gonna be one of our shots.

Some looks at us executing it this week.

Here's our home run. Dakorien.

Clean pocket, clean protection.

We're gonna get a dime from our Q.

This will be a winner for us in this game.

TOBY ROWLAND: Well, we're gonna have a battle on the field.

We had sort of a battle of words between the coaches this week.

With more on that, third member of our team, Jenny Dell.

Yeah, NIL has changed the game.

And this week, the money talk, it got loud.

Mike Gundy threw that first punch,

but Dan Lanning, he did not back down.

He acknowledged that the Ducks invest heavily.

And he is not going to apologize for it.

MIKE: Oregon is paying a lot, a lot of money for their team.

The last three years, we spent $7 million.

I think Oregon spent close to $40 million last year alone.

I got a ton of respect for Coach Gundy.

Ultimately, how blessed are we to be in a place

that's invested in winning? If you want to be

a top 10 team in college football,

you better be invested in winning, and...

we spend to win, some people save

to have an excuse for why they don't.

MAN: You're going into this game with the team

that you've got against the team that they've got.

You're making matters worse?

MAN 2: The whole team took it personal.

MAN 3: The great thing about this game

is what they think versus what I know.

I know about this team's work.

I know about this team's sacrifice.

I know about this team's connection.

Right? That's going to be a separator in this game.

Because if you're gonna come in and you're gonna be

talking [bleep], it's time to cowboy up.

But guess what? The bull don't care.

And today, we're the [bleep] bull!

- Let's go... - [players cheering]

COMMENTATOR: I got goosebumps. I got a duck on a Harley

and I got a football team. Let's play ball.

CROWD: Go, Ducks!

TOBY: Two Ducks. Now to the left hand side.

Snap, back to throw.

Rolling to his left, sets up, going deep.

And he's got him, Dakorien Moore, with a catch.

Inside on his feet at the 15th.

Are you kidding me?! Touchdown!

♪ How many numbers we running up? ♪

♪ Ten out of ten ♪

♪ How many times are we showing up? ♪

♪ Again and again, yeah, we did it once ♪

♪ We'll do it twice ♪

♪ Run it back, ten out of ten, yeah ♪

Let's go! Let's go!

DAKORIEN: It felt amazing, actually,

and especially how it happened. Just, like, walking in

the end zone and then, like, my brothers being,

like, right there with me as I'm, like,

running in the end zone. It was crazy.

I couldn't ask for nothing better than that.

I just witnessed my baby's first collegiate touchdown.

[screaming]

- My boy did it! - JERRY: How about that?

Your fourth catch as a freshman

- is a touchdown. - Come on!

DAKORIEN: Everybody was hyped and stuff like that,

but it's always the next play, next play mentality.

That play is over now, so you got to get back to it.

TOBY: 6:11 left, first half, 27-3.

Here's the dip. Moore.

Moore's gonna go outside of the block.

Right block, 10-5. Inside.

Can he get there?

Yes! Touchdown!

[overlapping shouting]

DAKORIEN: As I, like, ran to the outside, I seen,

you know, one of my teammates over there.

So I was like, okay, boom, I have a blocker over there.

Run around him. You know, I get the pin.

Running towards the end zone, I didn't even see the dude

that came right there.

I thought he was stuck behind the blockers.

I was finna to, like, jump in the end zone

a little bit with the ball, and he pushed me.

So it was just, like, instinct to,

you know, reach the ball out.

Definitely poor ball security on me.

I should've held that.

We probably would've been in a jumbo package

running the ball in that next play.

But we good.

JERRY: I mean, when you have the speed that

that young man has, I mean, you trust it.

DAKORIEN: Uh, it say DK, then it got a one in the middle.

It was my first custom chain, yes.

Just a little fit for probably after the game or something.

Got the underwear.

You know, the little-- it's kind of like a sleeveless.

It's like a shorter sleeve.

You know what I'm saying?

Going with.

For sure wearing the long socks. Got two socks.

These long, but just in case,

like, I can't scrunch it up, like, above my knee,

I got two pairs to make them even longer.

I don't really buy a lot of things,

but as far as clothes, I don't go out

and just get designer stuff or something like that.

But I'll be scrolling on Instagram or whatever,

and see little pieces.

Okay, boom, I like that. Okay, let me get that.

Got the ski mask. I might go ski mask. Depends.

If it's too hot, might not go ski mask.

Might go with the skully.

If it's not hot, definitely might go ski mask this week.

You know the color of the team we're playing?

I forgot.

It was black and, uh, orange, bet.

I spelled Oregon wrong, typing fast,

but yeah, they orange.

I don't think I got no orange, though.

PRODUCER: What's the symbolism

behind wearing the orange mouthpiece?

Just wearing the color of the team.

Just like-- it ain't really like nothing to it for real,

just like doing it just because.

PRODUCER: Do you think that gets in people's heads at all?

If it do, then it means somebody's soft.

PRODUCER:

DAKORIEN: Yeah, she's cooking and stuff like that, so.

No, I got to get a little good meal

before I leave, go to the hotel,

before they start feeding us the food that they have.

Like, the food that they give us at the facility

is, like, always healthy, so.

And with me being picky, sometimes the healthy food,

not what I want.

So I got to make sure when my mom comes down here,

if she cooks, I'm busting that down.

Throw these on the way out.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dakorien humming]

Yeah, I kind of know my way around, just a little bit,

because I don't really go to too many places around here.

But when it comes to, like, going to where we're going to go

now, or, like, to the facility,

or to campus, like, I know my way to those.

Since I got here, everybody's been with me,

making sure I'm good, you know, building

and growing into the man that, you know, they want me to be.

Whether it's school, if it's on the field,

whether it's family back home, like,

making sure, you know, I'm making the right decisions

with my money, like... just little stuff like that.

[insects chirping]

ANNA: So based on the... detail,

these are the three amounts that we see cutting out each month.

MARJAHN: Okay, what you see?

ANNA: So I was assuming that

that was salary taxes...

DAKORIEN: You got pops in there, I need something to drink.

ANNA: ...sounds like that's the payroll tax...

Man, that's a lot of beer.

ANNA: ...Medicare and Social Security.

Not for me.

MARJAHN: ...so the employer pays

a percentage of that?

DAKORIEN: I handle everything on the field,

and my mom handles everything off the field.

She handles, like, all the negotiation

and stuff like that. Her and then my agent,

they just let me know what it is, ask me my feedback.

ANNA: ...sure, we would just need to get the login,

and then figure out exactly what...

MARJAHN: I wanted to make sure that I put my son

in the best position possible,

financially and contractually.

And that's not an NIL representative,

it's an NFL agent that knows what they're doing

and know what they're looking at, they know more than me.

Okay, so Anna, we were saying about the budget,

like he needs to decrease his spending.

ANNA: We're thinking for discretionary spending,

so that's all your travel, all your clothes and shoes,

all your entertainment, all your restaurants,

basically anything you're putting on--

on a debit card or a credit card.

Does that sound reasonable? Is that doable?

DAKORIEN: Uh, I don't know,

if I'm being honest. I really don't know,

because I don't know what it is right now.

MARJAHN: We just got an award for best dressed.

- [laughs] - From the football team.

Having a budget, it's just like, "Dang, I cannot go over this."

I forget so fast, like I was passing the number every month.

So the minute they gave me that number, I was like,

"Dang, that's going to be, like, totally different."

But if it help me in the long run,

I mean, I'm with it.

AGENT: The most important part of creating a budget for you

is giving you something

to where, one, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor,

but at the same time, making sure

that we put enough money aside

so that when the footballs stop flying in the air,

like, you're in a great position.

DAKORIEN: During the season, it's definitely easier,

you know, to uphold that spending habit,

but off-season, it might be a little harder.

Yeah, when he gets to Dallas, he go crazy.

DAKORIEN: No, I don't go crazy, but I do spend more than--

AGENT: If you can start forming good habits now,

it makes things a whole lot easier for you down the line.

And at the end of the day, the truth of the matter is

- it's your money. - Yeah.

But the reason you have us here

is to say, "Hey, this is what makes sense, Dakorien,

and this is what's going to get you to a point

to where you're living comfortably

when football's done with.

PRODUCER:

[blows raspberry] Nowhere close to what I want it to be.

I really don't know. I mean, just the more that

I can learn, is the better. So I really don't know.

I don't think it's ever too much that you can learn about it, so.

AGENT: Y'all need anything, call me.

Be sending you some stuff here soon,

and good luck this weekend.

MAN: Good luck, man. Good luck. You're gonna kill it.

- DAKORIEN: Thank you. - MAN: God bless.

MARJAHN: It went really, really good, but we're going to see

how it goes in the future with this budget thing

because I'll pop up and he'll probably have

six more boxes of shoes and a purse and...

12 outfits.

[uplifting music playing]

[engine rumbling]

DEVIN: Yeah, I'm definitely getting more time. The coaches

are, you know, starting to put me out there...

just slowly, um,

because, like I said, I am a true freshman.

Coming here to Ohio State,

you know, this is probably the hardest it's going to get.

I could have went anywhere in the country,

and just been that starting corner from the jump,

like, right when I walked in the door.

That's the complete opposite here.

You know, we've got guys like Davison Igbinosun

who has been here for three years.

He's a three-year starter,

but he's played a lot of snaps.

Jermaine Mathews, our other starting corner,

he's played in those big-time games.

So, I mean, that's just the hardest spot.

I wanted to put myself in a position

where it's, like, uncomfortable to show that,

like, when you're in those uncomfortable positions,

that shows, like, who's really the best corner.

[upbeat music playing]

You've got to be a hard person to play corner.

It takes a lot.

You've got to have that certain swagger to you,

just being, you know, short-minded.

Not backing down for nobody.

Realistically, I think corners are hard just on the field

'cause, you know, you're guarding dudes backwards.

You basically live alone on the island.

You've got to make plays by yourself.

When I'm in a game like that, everything just goes silent.

It's like, now it's just me and this dude on the island,

and only one person come on the island.

It was just hard just being a corner in general...

and you've got to really live up to it.

JAKE BUTT: The 129th all-time meeting,

No. 6 Oregon sitting at 3-0 against Oregon State.

DEVIN: Kori Moore, that's my guy, that's my guy.

Obviously, he's up there at Oregon doing his thing.

I'm down here doing mine, so just respect for each other.

I met Dakorien in my freshman year of high school.

He played for Duncanville. I played for North Shore.

Powerhouse in Dallas. Powerhouse in Houston.

My sophomore year, we played them.

That's when... That's when we kind of, like,

kind of both, like, broke the scale and got recruited.

Y'all know what we've been through.

We finna give them that word.

I obviously played in the state championship.

They beat us, but, I mean, it is what it is.

People think me and Dakorien don't like each other

'cause we played each other in high school,

but that's, like, the complete opposite.

Like, it's-- he'll say the same thing.

It's the complete opposite. We're cool. We're tight.

Obviously, me being the best player from Houston,

him being the best player from Dallas,

if it had anything to do with, like, who's gonna be

the top two dudes from Texas to come, obviously me and him.

When they started coming out with these things,

like the Nike Next Ones event,

he was my roommate for that event.

Anything that had to do with, like, high school players

going to an event, me and him were there.

Now we're ready for the game.

Just sit back and just really be a fan, for real.

JAKE: What a perfect day for a college football game

and a rivalry game, Oregon, Oregon State.

JEFF LEVERING: It's the one that Ducks and Beaver fans

look forward to because they don't want to be

on the bottom side of this for the rest of the year.

[all cheering]

JAKE: Duck or Beaver fan, you can call it what you want.

All those that have been through the years,

the bad years and the good years, both,

call it one thing, that's a civil war.

JEFF: It is a rivalry. There is no love lost

between these two teams. There's orange and black

and green and yellow, and today's the day

that they settle the argument who's the better team.

Ready? One, two, three, go Ducks!

[tense music playing]

[grunting]

[soft chatter]

JAKE: Coaches and the student-athletes both

have said rivalry games are different.

Funny things can happen in these type of games,

and you've got to be careful.

Look at the map of the US, what do you notice?

All right, Eugene and Corvallis, there ain't that much distance.

I'm going to tell you all the things that separate us

a long ways away from these guys.

I know we're the tougher team. I know we have more grit.

But the biggest separation from us to Corvallis

is it takes no talent.

The things that you do differently.

The energy and enthusiasm you attack practice with.

How much you love your teammates.

Because this game is one that means a lot more

than just the guys in this room.

It's about every person that's ever played

at the University of Oregon.

JAKE: Oregon State's defense gave up almost 600 yards.

[laughs] Okay, so normally we're late for everything.

JAKE: Total offense last week against Texas Tech.

Certainly they've got something to prove here.

JEFF: They had 17 tackles last week.

[tense music playing]

They're going to go left side. A little back shoulder throw.

Catch made. Touchdown made!

MARJAHN: Yeah, that's my baby!

Look at that!

All these unprotested catches.

Unstoppable.

JEFF: They might look at this.

They're stopping play for a moment.

Yeah, they're going to review whether or not he got it across.

MARJAHN:

He can be on the review. Come back with the review.

DAILON:

MARJAHN: Shut up! What team are you on?

DAXON: Not down yet. Not down yet.

MARJAHN: Not down yet. Not down yet!

- DAXON: That is close. - MARJAHN: Not down yet!

- DAXON: Okay, never mind. - MARJAHN: Never mind.

JAKE: After review, the ball did break the plane

before the runner's knee was down.

- Touchdown! - Touchdown! Touchdown!

Shoot, don't play with him!

Don't play with him!

Shoot.

I feel excited. Something just told me

turn on Big Ten Network right now

as soon as the game gets started

because that's how I almost missed

the first touchdown was the bathroom.

So, I wasn't going to miss it this time.

[crowd cheering]

[upbeat music playing]

Jake: Dante Moore... endzone, got Saadiq.

And a touchdown, Kenyon Saadiq!

...back to throw again, and back for Dakorien

Almost indefensible, that play,

Especially if you're gonna play one on one with him.

Dante, scans, throws, looking for the...

Dakorien Moore with the grab!

They're gonna mark him with the one-yard line.

Give it to Davison. Going left,

and stroll into the endzone!

like it's a Sunday afternoon walk in the park.

♪♪♪

- DAXON: Come on, Kori. - MARJAHN: Come on, Kori.

DAXON: Oh...

MARJAHN: Why did you stop?

[upbeat music playing]

JAKE: ...throws past the endzone,

touchdown, McClellan!

[all cheering]

All right, J-man! All right, J-man!

[cheering]

JAKE: This could be the play action throw.

Looking for somebody down-- throw, wide open,

Gary Bryant Jr., three, two,

Touchdown, Gary Bryant Jr.!

[all cheering]

PA: Gary... Bryant... Junior!

JAKE: And the rivalry game will end.

Oregon 41, Oregon State 7.

Our final score, Ducks over the Beavers

here at Autzen Stadium on a perfect football day.

Let's go. Big Ducky.

[soft chatter]

Good to see you.

DAKORIEN: I love all my supporters

and stuff like that, so. And family is probably

the biggest thing for me, you know, in life in general.

So just saying that they support me means a lot to me.

[overlapping chatter]

I think they miss me at times.

When they come down here, they hugging all on me

and stuff like that.

I'm trying to show them, you know,

the path, you know, the way to take.

At the end of the day, it's all love.

- DAKORIEN: [breaking up] - What up?

- What's going on? - Bro, I'm tired, man.

- You're tired? - I'm tired.

- From what? - The game.

- It was hot as shit. - [laughs] It was hot out there?

It was only 75 degrees but it was hot.

Nah, we play Washington out there next week.

We gotta go to Washington.

Wait, what you doing right now?

Filming.

- Chill out. - Yeah, you on camera.

I just have my crew behind me too.

- They was at the game? - Yeah.

They was sideline following me at the game and stuff.

Didn't y'all go-- y'all go to Penn State?

Yes. And Washington, fool.

[both interrupting]

Penn State a night game or a noon game?

Night. We gotta that White Out, fool.

Y'all go to a White Out game? Oh, that's crazy.

Y'all play Penn State too?

Yeah, we play Penn State here though.

Ahh, that's... [indistinct]

Nah, y'all got a White Out game?

- That's crazy, dude. - Yeah, it's cool.

But they coming off a bye week this week though, so.

Yeah, we is too.

Y'all had a bye week this week?

Yeah, we had a bye week.

How y'all looking?

We straight. I mean, defense solid.

Compared to last year?

We got a chance to have a way better defense

than we did last year.

You said y'all got a chance to?

- Yeah. - Yeah, I'm chilling right now.

Probably gonna take a nap, fool. I'm tired.

That game just took it out of me, boy.

All right, man. It's good.

- I was just hitting you up. - All right, bet.

- All right. - All right, son.

DEVIN: It's great just to go against a dude like that.

Go against somebody that you're cool with,

you're close with. You know, your friend like that

on the field. But, I mean, at the end of the day,

you know, playing against each other

got us where we're at now.

MAN: Oregon, baby!

- Oregon! - Oregon, baby!

[whooping]

MARJAHN: Being in Oregon and being in the South

is very, very different.

In Oregon, everybody is very nice,

very welcoming, and it's like a very different atmosphere.

Everybody's excited to see you coming.

It's fun!

MAN: First of all, at the end of the day,

I just want to thank everybody for coming.

This is love. This is family.

This is what we do here in Oregon.

We all come from different areas,

you know what I'm saying? I don't come-- you know,

But I'm going to be there to say this is something

that us party boys and our families,

whenever they're in town, what we like to do

is just gather... each other,

just be each other's company, fellowship,

and be able to just eat and just talk stories.

I just want to thank everybody who's here.

I want to thank everybody who prepared food.

At the end of the day, we're all family.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

All right, ladies! Ladies, come here first!

Ladies and kids.

MAN: Ladies and parents.

Mom, what you eating?

WOMAN: This is garlic chicken. This is teriyaki chicken.

BOY: Okay, never mind.

I wanted him to go to school and actually be

a college student and have experiences,

network, find new friends,

like stay away, grow into the man

that I know that you can be.

How long you had this place?

This is nice, I ain't gonna lie.

This is nice.

Are you staying at the dormitory?

I stay in, like, three minutes away from...

I stay closer than the dorms, actually.

- Hella close, huh? - Yeah.

MARJAHN: I'm most proud that he is holding his own.

And he's showing me

that he'll be okay without me.

That's it.

[soft chatter]

- Wick. It's called Wick. - MAN: Is that you?

I wish.

I would start a brand, but not right now.

Yeah, 'cause I'm more like...

[soft chatter]

BRYCE: Where's the Aquaphor at? Did I bring it out here?

Mama?

Mommy?

Mama?

Can you pass me the Aquaphor for my kneecaps?

All right, I'm about to make a good play right here.

Get out, stiff arm... okay.

VOICE: Covered, and he's a center,

and he's in the corner.

All right.

JAY: I'm somewhat of a helicopter dad,

but I try to give Bryce his lane

where he don't see me hovering over him.

I actually had a turning point with my son.

It was... What was it?

It was in November.

I was still treating my son like...

like my son. Like a ten-year-old kid.

"You know, you're still a kid. You're a child."

You know, I still had that mindset.

And I don't know what I said, but whatever it is,

it triggered him. It hurt his feelings.

All right? And...

Me being his coach, his trainer,

and his dad, I paid no mind.

I didn't care, right?

But one of my guys, one of my friends,

he was like, "Bro, you need to go check on your son."

So I went to the room, checked on him.

You know, and, uh, he was-- he was just--

He was just upset, just sitting there.

I'm like, "What's wrong with you?

"What's your problem? Get yourself together."

You know, and he was just sitting there hurt.

I'm like, "What's the problem?"

And he finally expressed, like,

"Dad, I don't like when you do certain things.

"I don't like when you say certain things.

"I don't like that it hurts."

"Get your ass out your feelings. Tighten up.

Man up," you know?

And I thought that was the way

that we were supposed to treat our sons.

I didn't know. Nobody gave me a blueprint

on how to raise a son.

Right? So, you know, from that point forward,

you know, I had to start checking myself

on how I treat not only just my son,

my daughter, people in general, you know?

And now he's able to open up, like,

I'm his comfort zone, you know?

So if the world is crashing on him,

he gonna pull up on me or give me a call

and say, "Hey, Dad, I got this situation."

And we're able to talk about it as if we're friends.

You know, he's not-- he has no filter.

I feel like I'm doing something right, finally,

you know, to be able to get my son

to be able to freely open up with no problem.

No judgment. We're people.

We're human. All right? We make mistakes.

We're learning as we go.

So now I treat him like a young man.

Good luck to you over there, young fella.

I want you to know it's up, and it's all because of you.

[atmospheric music]

WOMAN: The attention that comes

once you get to that type of level,

you lose some of your private life.

And, you know I think

that can be a hindrance to being five-star.

I want the Buffalo wings. The Bowling Buffalo wings.

In order to keep your mental and your emotions

and your spirituality balanced and grounded,

you have to learn how to tune those things out.

Oh!

BRYCE: I always liked bowling.

Probably, like, a year and a half ago

I learned how to spin the ball.

Learned it, and I'm like,

"All right, gotta get my own ball now."

Really only time I'm out is if I'm with my family,

where I could decompress and get away from everybody.

You know, coming back home

from a long day, it's not your friends there.

It's not your cousins. It's not your aunties, uncles.

It's your mom, dad and your siblings if you have them.

So, it's a blessing, because I got a support system.

Therapist, and somebody that's been pushing me,

motivating me, coaching me my entire life.

JAY: Okay. That just came out powerful, dawg.

That was like... [imitates squeaking]

Come on, man.

BRYCE: Honestly, my dad is my best friend.

The more I talk to my dad, the more I realize

how much we have in common.

...is rocking today, yo, what's happenin'?

It's all you, my guy.

Oh, my bad. I'm sorry.

My day-to-day, bro.

I'm the real 19...

Your turn, Jay.

Your turn.

My mom, the nurturer,

the protector, always talk trash.

We hear the loudest one in the crowd no matter

how many people is out there.

- JAY: Okay! - BRYCE: Bowling,

it brings us closer together.

- JAY: Okay. - Oh!

Trash.

Oh, that is so trash.

ANNOUNCER: What a great scene here.

Memorial Stadium. The sea of red

with some maize sprinkled in.

It's Michigan and Nebraska.

True freshman QB under the helm

at Bryce Underwood and Sherrone Moore

will not be able to coach.

Talk about pressure.

Every college football game is tough,

being a freshman especially.

And then, of course, going onto the road to somewhere

like Nebraska where it's loud, atmosphere is insane.

ANNOUNCER: Michigan, they're gonna have to deal with

the crowd noise, and they're gonna have to communicate better

and be better than they were two weeks ago.

Their first road trip to Oklahoma.

- Let us hear you! - CROWD: Go, Big Red!

BRYCE: It's a lot of red when you walk in.

Red field. Just a lot of red.

[woman chanting] Let's go, blue! Let's go, blue!

ANNOUNCER: It really is gonna come down to

what did they learn in that trip to Norman?

What did they learn in that game?

How will they use those lessons to be better today?

BRYCE: I just started the game with a me not ever

losing the game mindset.

ANNOUNCER: Quarterback draw. Oh, he's got a red sea.

Wide open. 20, 15, ten.

Touchdown. Bryce Underwood.

That play worked.

37 yards. No one near him.

Touchdown. Number 19.

I knew what they was about to do the whole time I saw it.

Set the ball. Boom.

See the biggest hole. It parted like the Red Sea.

Like I said, red. Nothing but red in the end zone.

And then pressure.

ANNOUNCER: ...Underwood, here comes a blitz,

- and down he goes. - COMMENTATOR: Oh, boy.

Fans are getting into it.

[tense music]

...Underwood, back to pass.

He's gonna step up in the pocket, he's in trouble.

And he's gonna go down.

And the ball comes out.

And it's rolling around, and who's got it?

It looks like Nebraska does.

That is not what Michigan needed.

BEVERLY: It's tough being out there

at the away stadium.

ANNOUNCER: Back to pass is Raiola.

Gotta lock it down the seam-- touchdown.

BEVERLY: I think it's the energy.

You know, you have people next to you,

and they can say what they want to say

and that type of stuff.

So, I am super nervous.

Come on, baby.

BRYCE: I feel like going into Nebraska game,

we came a long way as far as me being more of a vocal leader.

And for my teammates to trust me to be that,

you know, it's nice.

ANNOUNCER: They're gonna roll Bryce out here

on first and ten, downfield, he delivers,

and it's caught inside the 35-yard line,

and dropped right there, as this big tight end,

Marlin Klein...

BRYCE: You know, Big Ten football is one of

the toughest conferences in college football, of course.

And my biggest thing is just keep your head

on the right way.

ANNOUNCER: It's deafening in here

right now on third down and nine.

A lot of pressure on a young, true freshman quarterback.

Here comes the blitz, sets up a screen,

suddenly a miss, and now he's got some room.

Playing football, I'm willing to risk

any and everything for it.

You know, what are we willing to do to win this game?

We're gonna do it as a team.

ANNOUNCER: QB draw again, Bryce at the field, 15,

Bryce at the ten, inside the ten.

And down at the nine-yard-line.

Bryce Underwood of Michigan, a first down.

That drive from Michigan.

Sixteen plays, 77 yards,

eight minutes and 47 seconds,

just what the doctor ordered.

Yeah, this feels quiet now. Everybody's quiet now.

Yeah!

ANNOUNCER: Bryce can take a knee,

- and that'll be it. - [whistle blows]

Michigan comes to Nebraska and beats

the Cornhuskers here in Lincoln 30-27.

Just really being able to produce

without our head coach being on that sideline

just showed how hard we worked

throughout the season with him there.

We love getting better.

And us getting better is also a step closer

to our goal, which is being

the most connected team in college football.

- MAN: Who's better than us? - ALL: Nobody!

BRYCE: And now, I'm having way more fun.

[laughs]

They chose our game as College Game Day

instead of Georgia-Bama.

Oh, my God. No way.

ANNOUNCER: Yeah, this week is probably gonna be

one of the biggest weeks of the college football season.

Penn State versus the Oregon Ducks.

JENNY: You have a three-versus-six matchup,

and to be at a Penn State White Out game,

you want to talk about a hostile environment?

You are walking in the lion's den.

The conference play is when it really matters.

So, it's when the real journey starts.

And I'm just ready for it.

ANNOUNCER: And Ohio State has their first lead.

- That's how you grow. - That's the only way.

You're like, "Oh, I know you."

Me not really seeing the field,

there definitely is times of, like, frustration.

ANNOUNCER: The nation is watching.

In that tunnel, I was tuning everything out.

Like, I was just, like, locked in.

But inside, it's the environment I've been waiting on.
