FORMATION NOTES: As promised, Purdue was a 5 man line at all times, usually backed by man to man and the deepest safety: There are ten guys on the screen for Purdue because the FS is not on the screen. Purdue did deviate from this sometimes; a couple run plays saw the FS at ~12 yards and activated on run plays. The five man line was near-ubiquitious, with just a few passing downs deviating. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: The usual everywhere except the skill positions. Skill positions: Barner: 61 snaps (of...

FORMATION NOTES: MSU was a very basic 4-3 even, as they have been forever. Aside from pass rush exotics, this was the whole game.

What is this diary? Each week, I take a deep dive into the box scores and team pages from Pro Football Focus, Game on Paper, College Football Data, and more for as many Big Ten teams as I can manage. Often, life makes it impossible to cover every team, but I try to always cover OSU, MSU, PSU, and whoever Michigan is playing in the coming week. (This week, I managed every game but Illinois-Maryland. Sorry, folks.)
