Corum Edwards News Today

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. They would occasionally slide the line to the run strength, and they'd put a nickel on the field for passing downs. They ran a lot of the Dantonio-vintage double-A gap twist blitz from the linebackers; this was about their only gambit on the day. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Nothing unusual. WR/TE snaps, as per usual: Cornelius Johnson: 50 Roman Wilson: 43 Colston Lovelan...

Best:  The Points Don’t Matter

FORMATION NOTES: ECU was extremely diverse with their fronts but if they had a base it was the "404 tite" that Seth's detailed on this here site. Like so: The 404 is a nose tackle over the C (the zero) and two DEs shaded inside the tackles (the fours). When not doing this they cycled through various four-man fronts with a standup "DE", who was an OLB. At all times their safeties were maniacally aggressive: At no point did any ECU safety line up more than ten yards from t...

Note: Michigan is holding several guys out, being conservative, and allowing them time to heal up over the next 1-2 weeks. In some ways, the non-conference is being treated like an NFL preseason. Therefore, this is more of a Game 4 prediction than a current, "as of today" depth chart. IMO, Will Johnson plays last Saturday if that was MSU, PSU or OSU and not ECU.

Guess the score and any other fun tidbits… 56-7 Michigan  Corum & Edwards both rush for 100 yards JJ goes for 5 TD’s combined Go Blue!!     

Brett McMurphy has leaked part of the schedule. We travel to USC and host UCLA. It looks like Michigan State doesn’t play either of them. 

Team Maize defeated Team Blue down at the Big House today in Michigan Football's 2022 Spring Game by a final score of 22-21, winning on a two-point conversion and an ultimate fourth down defensive stand. The weather was cold and chilly and Michigan was without the likes of stars Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards, but a number of young players and new additions made themselves felt in the narrative of the game. What does it ultimately mean? Probably very little! Do I still have takes on it? Of...

The new phonebook's here, but since they don't list weight changes in spring there's even less than usual to glean from the updated rosters. The big notes: Jalen Perry is gone. Alessandro Lorenzetti moved to DL. Kalel Mullings is an LB/RB. Order of the positions seems significant? The new guys have numbers, and some of them have interesting weights. Also there were some position changes among younger players. So let's be thorough anyways. DEPARTURES One guy in Michigan rememb...

Previously: Ohio State Offense  After getting mauled by the Michigan offense last season to the tune of 487 total yards and 297 rushing yards, the Ohio State defense has a lot to prove tomorrow. Ryan Day went out in the offseason and hired Jim Knowles from Oklahoma State to be the new defensive coordinator, amid a litany of staff shakeups to engineer a turnaround. So far the results have been good, as the Buckeyes have stitched together a stellar season thus far on defense, ranking 10th in SP+...

FORMATION NOTES: Hello, it's Iowa. Iowa loathes putting guys in the box: This play has Edwards in the backfield and has the Iowa safeties rolled up inside of ten yards. This was an occasional change up; this was more frequent: Split safeties at 12, six guys in the box. Michigan severely cut down the number of multiple TE snaps. They had 43 snaps with 1 TE, 17 with two, and six with three. Half of those 3 TE snaps were Michigan's last drive. Later in the game Iowa started firing up thei...
