Texas bails into C2 late and the Sail route isn’t there bc the corner is looking for it coming back to him.
Contra McElroy, the flat route isn’t going to hold the corner. His job is to play deep to short and look for that Sail and let the QB bring you to any flat route.

Empty Q Split IZ is a pretty tough run to fit. Coincidentally, UT had just given up their own TD vs IZ after just lining up wrong and busting the fit.

A thing is in high demand? better restrict access to it
They’re right about the overcrowding but their solution is the wrong one. Close the streets around the plaza, expand the footprint, or move it to grant park. But this ain’t it Brandon Johnson.
Chicago Christkindlmarkt update: Due to severe overcrowding in past years, OEMC has reduced entrance capacity 80% (!!) from 5,000 to 1,000 people. This has caused very long lines and a deserted feel once you got in. 🧵

I really like that Gun same side toss outside zone. Can really hit downhill with the right footwork from the back. Get some depth and banana and you can run north-south right off the tackle’s ass.

4 Verticals kinda busted but if you know you’re getting Tampa and especially some kind of late bail into Tampa, can see why it works. If you get a re-route and a good drop, the corner/safety/overhang can squeeze the route combo. Without the re-route, it’s 2 on 1 deep.

Incredibly gratifying to Michigan fans to finally be number 1 in KenPom after being number 1 in refreshing KenPom after a win for 15 straight years.

All these years later I remain grateful that Donald Westlake’s family trusted me when I proposed putting together The Getaway Car—and then I got to publish it with my colleagues! Then Darwyn Cooke made the cover! (And Chicago has a site-wide sale this weekend, 30% off with the code HOLIDAY25!)

6-1 examples. Won’t be OSU bringing it in out of nowhere.

This makes a lot of sense considering where Patricia is coming from.
Michigan last saw this look when Mac tried it against Michigan State in 2021 and it went horribly.

When UM is in 12P I’m also expecting Patricia to use some of the 6-1 that the Patriots used against the Rams in the SB.

OSU run blocking is good not great (minus the TEs) but the thing that’s different in this Game vs last 2 is the OL is healthy and talented in pass pro.
Last year, Chip was terrified of their hobbled OL. Year before, we called game beating their pass pro. Vintage Day pass pro this year.

1st and 10, OSU ball. Max protect, wait for the dig to clear. Easy game

@rossrfulton.bsky.social has said this elsewhere, but OSU’s become more and more of a Penny front (5-1 Nickel) team and that makes inside zone really tough to execute.
Michigan has run more and more IZ to complement their OZ and moved away from their multiple gap stuff as the season has gone on.

Jyaire got roasted bc he barely got lined up and the played very lazy technique. Lucky they didn’t replay that whole thing.

Michigan D looking kinda lackadaisical. Have seen us bust our rules a lot more than I’d like considering the obvious. Maryland is sleepwalking and low efforting even harder. Silly game.

Fire zone and we rotated weak so they had us overloaded strong. Multiple open WRs. Pick anyway.

Michigan vs Maryland plays a lot more C3 and C1 to match their RPOs. Watch the safety to the TE, will tell you if they’re 1 or 2 high that snap.

Same thing this week! Get it together, Braun! Even if it doesn’t matter at all!
I think icing pretty much irrelevant but I hate Braun calling it that early. Should be trying to get it as late as possible and be okay with not getting it.

Rutgers playing a ton of true Cover 2. Don’t see a lot of true C2 to both sides of the field. Have to carry verticals up the seam and funnel 1 to the safety to take away the open middle of the field.
Smash is the classic C2 beater but also expect high/low in the middle of the field.

This was a really clarifying video for me from Coach.
Michigan I think is trying to do something like this 7-man spacing even in an 8-man box with their fits but having their LBs fit the ball rather than doing anything special to make up for being gapped out.
