Snap was low but should have been handled by Bryce. Was trying to rush to get into his read. Guessing it was a quick game concept

I think Joel Klatt is one of the best color guys in football. He was mostly wrong on what Bryce needs to work on though. The biggest thing is reading post snap coverage and consistency with his feet. Feet will drive the accuracy and timing which will help most of the rest

LMFAO “Shots” but replaced with “Drops” am I right guys

Michigan has run sprint draw probably 3 times this year. Always loved sprint draw, especially with teams that move the QB a lot (as Michigan does). Shades of early 2000s Michigan State. Get the D moving laterally then hit them straight down hill

McCulley has had a handful of plays across multiple games where he busted his assignment and I figured that must have been the reason Indiana wasn’t disappointed in losing him. But he does so much cool stuff. Huge W for Michigan to have him on the roster

Big gain on stretch if LG isn’t late to his spot. He cuts that off and meets the LB instead of getting seam under it’s a huge crease

Michigan thought they were getting a C0 on that 3rd and 7. Just tried to run a little rub to get out of any dropping rats and catch and run. Well done by Wisconsin DBs to switch the routes, think that cause Bryce to try to squeeze ball at last second when he saw CB jump route

I think Haynes should have been able to churn out the 1st down on wedge, but you really see this on the next drive starting with 2nd and 2. Counter gets CB blitzed as they force ball to bounce, feel need to throw on 3rd and 2. Can’t just churn 2 yards on demand

I know Wink sees new QB and throw everything at him, but he’s been surprisingly good at picking on voids presented by bringing second level pressure. Adjust and okay straight up, force Wisconsin’s talent to beat your talent

I think he’s short but camera is on the side that makes it look further behind. Surprised they over turned that call

Been listening to less radio/podcasts on my commute lately. Anyway, ranking of all Hootie & the Blowfish Studio albums: 1) Cracked Rear View 2) Fairweather Johnson 3) Looking for Lucky 4) Imperfect Circle 5) Hootie & the Blowfish 6) Musical Chairs

Mike McDaniel aged 40 years in his 4 years as Dolphins coach in the exact way many people of Miami age 40 years in 4 years: overly tanned and probably coked out

This honestly pisses me off. If you don’t want him jumping to try to prevent a critical first down blow the whistle before he’s planted his feet to jump. Refs need to take momentum into account. Same with late hits out of bounds. In many ways make the game more dangerous, in all ways worse

The end of that game was all the stupid I was talking about

I think everyone’s confusion on targeting call is exactly why the penalty for targeting is terrible. Defender did nothing wrong but also had helmet to helmet contact that often gets people thrown out of games. There has to be an element of intent, especially when ball carriers are going to ground

That shovel pass was insane. All of it- and I mean all of it - looked terrible until it churned its way miraculously into the end zone

That’s illegal man down field refs gotta call it

It’s one of those things that people would say it’s incredibly dumb when it doesn’t work but Oregon wouldn’t have been wrong to go on O first given their defenses fatigue right now

Condensed field. Gassed D. Don’t just make them work sideline to sideline, but sideline back to opposite sideline. Couldn’t even touch him. Good call

On the flip side Oregon defense has decided they’ve done enough tonight and it’s now time to take it easy

Ew you gotta have a 4th and short call on your sheet to not have to burn a TO. It’s not like you were indecisive on whether to go or not

85 lost his bloc being slow out of his stance. Luckily he was so slow out of his stance that he piggy backed the RB and drove him for a 1st down. Making lemonade

All the best TV shows are a little contrived. Bad TV is overly contrived, but you need a little of it. That’s what makes college football the best. There is just enough stupid. Who knows what could happen. Every team is at least partially dumb. You can’t escape it. They are 18-22 year olds. Perfect

Weak 15 yard penalty for a game that hasn’t been particularly chippy

Bama offense starting to stall. Time to get the ball back into the hands of their playmakers like Procter

Big boy Allar got big arm when finally throwing with any balance crazy

Counter FH for the TD. Counter without an OL puller. 3-back offense

Going for it feels dumb. PSU almost certainly can’t score twice. Take the points and pack it in

Big man was churning those feet. A natural runner. Time to make his playmaking a feature

Drew Allar make one throw on platform challenge amirite

Washington ran offset I with a WR at FB. Zone opposite with the WR leaking to the flat, the WR holding a ton of gravity on the backside of the play and allowing the RB to crease the D just because of it

If I was a USC fan I’d be a little annoyed with the DPI call. If I was a USC fan I’d be very annoyed at my DL packing it in and getting blown off the ball when Bert was happy to settle for a 48 yard field goal

Weird take: Michigan’s O feels like players are getting coaching that had them closer to better at executing assignments/technique, but doesn’t have the athletes for better teams (namely on OL). D has the athletes, but question if they’re getting same level of position coaching

Don’t love to promote Stalions too much, but think his take is generally correct. Thread

I’m not shocked by the O performance. The OL coming into the season was known to not be great. Lack of any quick game answer is surprising, though I never expected it a strength with a FR QB. Missed Klein. Lack of WR explosives doesn’t help. But OL the main issue for what O wants to be

Oklahoma running the all Counter OH offense this drive

The biggest issue for Michigan’s offense is still by far OL. They want to run but can’t pick up run blitzes. But they keep getting shoved in Bryce’s face too. It’s a constraint in all they wanna do

That 0 blitz conversion is a great example of attention to detail. The edges in that blitz are peel players. If the back leaks out to you, you hug his ass. He cannot get out into the pattern. Derrick Moore just runs right by him. How does a vet like that not know the basic rules of the pressure?

OU matching every dumb Michigan thing with an equally dumb thing has made this a game

This defense lacks attention to details and it’s the biggest difference from previous years

Need Michigan to fit counter once. Boxing it all game and LBs are…

ESPN saying Oregon has a 99.8% chance to win and, man, I’d love to see the 2 games out of 1000 that come back to win after that half

After throwing the ball from Shotgun on 3rd and 1, Wisconsin lines up in 32P and runs Power from the 1 yard line as God intended

Throw from Iowa was extremely late even if WR doesn’t slip. Key for Iowa probably isn’t attacking deep, not sure they have the athletes. They need to find a way to attack intermediate. Because of Tite scheme on D, you have to attack behind 2nd level where you know there are voids in zone coverage

Minnesota out here playing on Freshman level

Iowa riding the edge of terrible special teams play to a muffed punt recovery and a barely made FG is a great example of “expected result, unexpected process”

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

Miami not even close to executing a fire drill… classic 1st game prep!

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

General thoughts from a few games I was able to watch this weekend, starting with MSU
