I’ve just never seen anything like that. The irony is that Wink is an NFL guy and NFL Ds hardly rotate. And there isn’t much need to in CFB anymore with the number of snaps so much lower. That is truly inane decision making.

Has anyone come up with any explanation for why Michigan was playing so many backups together Saturday? Put aside any scheme or execution issues. If any D trots out their second/third stringers they’re gonna get chewed up. OSU put in their 2nd string in the 4Q Sat and Ill went right down the field

UIUC went to a ton of C3 vs SC and it largely worked to keep Maiava from feeling comfortable reading it out. But OSU’s O is just built from the ground up to beat C3 in the air—they looove curl/flat. Sayin not struggling at all to see what’s there rn.

Would help if they at least started in 2-high.

They can’t fit gap and they don’t know how to play Tampa and they played 3-4 vs 12, things we’ve been complaining about since OU.

Co-sign all of this.

OSU has a bit of an explosives problem. Partly play calling. Bert is gonna play a ton of 1-high that’s what he does. Sayin has shown he can rip that up and Day just doesn’t care. They’re gonna get their reps in running gap without numbers.

It’s kinda sandbagging but also Sayin needs the reps? I dk.

OSU running a backside glance RPO v Minn’s Invert Tampa. Per @spacecoyote.bsky.social, believe that Sayin is reading grass to see the opening for the glance.

Charted the first half and I don’t think Wink really let up much or changed really. Blitzed ~2/3 of the time. Barham did some dumb stuff early, Wink had some especially exotic versions of his blitzes, UW threw some quick game, and Zeke biffed a tackle.

They fooled me watching live until I saw the replay so it’s good disguise. Just have to get to the spots quicker. Also was a good call against the invert.

@colintj.bsky.social Wink just can’t help himself with C0 on third and long, can he?

Dana not big into mixing in some 7 man full slide protection, eh?

FWIW I also think it’s a busted play

There’s some interesting punch-counter punch stuff happening in the CMU game I think. Like I said Venables brought a ton of corner pressures especially HOT. Example:

Palms (regular rules) to any 2-removed.

There is no 3-Drop, so you don't account for the RB.

2 underneath players are wall builders & have to take underneath routes back.

CB is playing Squat, which means they sink regardless of a flat presence.

Ball brings you down.

Really cool design behind this Fire Zone.

Drop the down weak safety to deep center where he can keep his eyes on any vertical coming from opposite

I think they’ll be fine. They have the guys out wide to push it, they just chose to play really conservative given the lead and the way the defense was controlling the game. Basically you just want to win that one any way you can and then you regroup to build.

Thoughts on Michigan:
Overall, very happy with the O scheme. Would like a little more heavy formations, a little less 4-wide, but overall I think it’s close to what I was looking for. Run game diversity from Moore, PAP, roll outs, take advantage of some free yards and get easy looks for QB

Tons of 12 P and/or tight WR splits from OSU yesterday but clear distinction between Klare and the blocking TEs based on down and distance. Don’t think any of the TEs looked all that great pulling on GH counter tho.

Tate got two attempts and made great catches on both. Agree that Sayin was locking on 4 but Tate was open more often. But OSU pass scheme had major training wheels on it yesterday. A lot of curl concepts.

@spacecoyote.bsky.social good stuff here from Patricia. 3 deep, 3 under FZ with the ghost 9 bailing to deep middle and boundary DE using an eyes technique.

Fangio is tearing up the Chiefs right now with split safety looks.
