Will Wade is getting hired by UK in April 2027

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.

Why did we call a TO? We’re settling for a FG right?

Bryce trying to do too much. Keep going to the Arrow IZ RPO but the give was clearly there. Pulls and then forces to Marsh. He’s too revved up.

First time that open side Pistol Arrow IZ RPO has been stuffed. Been a reliable 3-10 yards this half.

Truly insane that Jordan Young was on the field for that play.

Bryce nearly threw that pick earlier this game. He needs to verify that the weak safety has cleared if he’s going to rip that. Run read. And hey that’s what Joel is saying.

Michigan has started to really make hay from Pistol running to the open side. They’re making it so the blitz is coming from the other side bc there’s no overhang strong to bring it from

Obviously 3 turnovers to 0 is a lot luck but when you aren’t constantly grinding edges you put yourself into spots where you can lose to luck. If this D and ST was as well coached as it should be, we’d still be up 10.

Bowles vacates his zone in C2. He MUST get a vertical carry there to protect the safety who has to be able to cap 1 vertical. He’s had these issues all year.

Pretty sure that was just quarters to the Curtis side. He should’ve had a chuck and seen the route coming from a mile away. Don’t care for that one.

32 Personnel G Lead. Marshall tried to bounce but needed to just stick it up.

Boot RPO from Pistol there. Think that’s helping Bruce throw into space when they get blitz. And then OZ, could see how hard they’re attacking vs Pistol. Michigan clearly knows what they’re doing now.

Are there tarmacs when you just take the bus to the away site? Somebody tell me what exactly a certain ST coach will be fired on.

Michigan bailed again into Tampa to get the stop.

NU got a kill on that exact play earlier bringing the corner IIRC so I think execution.

Pistol, blitz, but this time we catch them and block it up.

Could see the weak safety rolling down on third there. He’s coming down to play the weak hook from depth in this version of C3. He’s playing with leverage on any overs or shallow crossers. Could see Bowles expanding weak bc he’s the curl flat. Good recognition from both to kill the screen.

Can see Michigan rolling its safeties to the Y vs 11 a few times this drive. We’re playing a ton of FZ so making sure to roll toward the Y with a safety makes the numbers on the back end work.

Fun note in light of Braun’s D game plane blitzing our formations: Michigan ofc checked to fire zones against OSU in ‘21 when they went Pistol. Day had a huge run tell the whole year and didn’t change it up for The Game.

Bryce has been really locked onto Marsh at 1 weak and then they motioned him to 2 strong in Trey. Convinced Northwestern to take a TO moving him around, I think. Northwestern been in a ton of quarters plus line games this drive.

Extremely obvious offensive pass interference

Every single problem we have with the defense every week has been on display. 3-4 vs 12, badly coached safeties, jumping the snap for no reason, reckless substitution, excessive blitzing. Did I miss anything?

The move here is RPOs from Pistol

Fun reminder that you can actually check vs formation and that’s not some craaaaazy complicated thing.

Under center on 1st and we get a blitz. Empty on 2nd, coverage.

Watch the backside dig vs Tampa if NU throws.

Another throw from 12 vs 3-4

Michigan may wanna put the gap scheme PAP protections back in the bag today. Northwestern slanting a lot and the angles are getting the OL beat

Can see Northwestern bringing more and more pressure. Wonder if they’re not blitzing by formation. Pistol a common PAP or run look for us, not a ton of quick game. Need to mix it up.

Penny Mike Creeper w Tampa behind it from Wink on 3rd down there. One of our most common 3rd down calls, see it nearly every week.

Think we’re at like 80% blitzes. Lots of backer plugs but also corners coming a ton.

Our options as Michigan fans are to get stuck on night games or watch more commercials than football at noon and the B1G still doesn’t have enough $$ to make their budgets work.

That last carry from Marshall was not encouraging

Can almost feel him rhythmically counting out his reads. Again, it’s probably going to get him sacked a bit more but we need him to reset his counter which was going way way too fast the past couple weeks.

That OZ RPO Boot with Curl + Flat that we’ve run all year. Think that’s the first time Bryce has run it on the boot.

Michigan clearly emphasized patience to Bryce in the bye. He’s been very deliberate and intentional in drop back. It’s making him a little less escapable but it’s clearly working for him as a thrower. RPO stuff is also just letting him rip it right away and not have to worry about the pass rush.

Not sure that read was correct from Bryce there but I think we’re all just happy to see that level of throw

Michigan struggling to get lined up vs Empty bc they had a blitz on and couldn’t figure out how to keep it on vs Empty. Also playing 3-4 vs 12. Same as every week.

The book has loooong been out that you should vary your count against Michigan on high leverage downs and for some reason we haven’t adapted.

Wink gonna blitz like every play against NU. 2 for 2 with a 0 blitz on 2nd.

Sticking with quick game I think is going to stay profitable. NU prob not gonna pressure a ton but enough + can take advantage of the weak backer like we see every weak against our QQH.

Like this quick game from 12 early. Not sure Northwestern wants to blitz like everybody else we’ve seen this year but our future opponents likely will.

Marshall goes the wrong way and that helps result in that sack there.

Not sure I accept the premise. The median age at the Cap'n Jazz and Dinosaur Jr shows I saw was, I dk, 30-35? Pavement and Slowdive obviously have managed to persist. Do think it's interesting who gets rescued from the past. I might've been the youngest person at the Wilco show I saw last year.

Chicago taking some time off from going full moron mode would be cool

Though they are usually well intentioned, unfunded inclusionary zoning requirements make housing less affordable by increasing the cost of building new homes, which worsens the housing shortage and drives up rents.

Really regret how rarely people are hangin’ w Mr Cooper these days
