I put all the UFR charting from this year into a single spreadsheet. Many Pivot Tables later there are things we can see. 4-3 versus 5-2: Fight! The first thing I looked at was how often Michigan was in each of their usual personnel groups. The exact personnel was subject to change, but generally if they were in a 4-3 it was Michael Barrett playing the SAM, and both Ojabo and Hutchinson were on the field; if they were in a 5-2 they would have Jaylen Harrell out there as a hybrid DE/OLB instead o...

Michigan released a spring roster update this week. Does it have much information in it? Nope. Are Yellowpages even thick enough for a kid to sit on anymore? Nope. Are we going to do The Jerk anyway? Of course we are. Other sites that cover Michigan checked it for things a casual fan might want to know about. But here at MGoBlog, we (use various Excel functions to) notice everything. Let’s =if(B2=vlookup all the columns! Here’s my comprehensive roster file, and our updated Depth Chart by ...

Formation Notes: Bowl games tend to get a lot of looks because coaches use the extra time to install more of them. Georgia used a lot of multi-TE sets and varied formations with them to hunt good matchups. I stuck with numeric conventions to make it easier to follow, so for example this is Gun 13 Heavy (shotgun, 1 RB, 3 TEs, heavy formation). And here’s the next play with the same personnel, which we’ll call “Gun 13 Empty 5w.” I referred to this defensive setup as “4-4 Zero” because ...

What is this? Folks who cover the USMNT drop lists like this projecting the 23 guys who end up on the next World Cup team. Brian appropriated it, dropped it for a few years, and then I stole it from him. Regarding the number of tickets: typically its’ 22 starters on offense and defense + 2 kickers + a Flex TE/Slot + nickel + extra DL. I’m adding a 2nd RB, a 2nd QB, and a couple of receivers for a total of 30. PACK YOUR BAGS They’re going to start. 1. WR/Slot/PR Ronnie Bell Put the “speed...

Part II here was split off from Part I: The Offense because the defensive attrition was coming fast and furious. Since that post Villari and Filiaga have entered the portal. As for the defense/special teams: Played out eligibility: Brad Hawkins, Jordan Whittley, Elijah Pierre. In the portal: Anthony Solomon, Darion Green-Warren, Andre Seldon, George Johnson III. NFL Departures: Aidan Hutchinson, David Ojabo, Daxton Hill, Chris Hinton, Vincent Gray. Awaiting NFL decisions: Josh Ross, Jake Moody, ...

As expected when his 1st round draft grade came in, and assumed since it came out that international players don’t have a carve-out from labor laws to allow them to make NIL money, David Ojabo has declared for the 2022 NFL Draft. Next chapter… Thank you God pic.twitter.com/NZU1qx2doS — KingJabo (@DavidOjabo) January 4, 2022 Ojabo arrived a particularly raw and particularly talented ball of clay in the 2019 class then found himself stuck for most of last year in his native Scotland because ...

Anthony Solomon entering the transfer portal got me thinking about hybrid defensive players. Solomon and Mohan were under recruited for Michigan's purposes when Don Brown was running the defense because he had a position (viper) that was essentially an undersized linebacker who didn't have to be great in coverage. The position required toughness and straight line speed and linebacker skills in a safety body. That position does not exist for most defenses, including our current defense.

Well, Michigan's first ever trip to the College Football Playoff could've gone better. In what many hoped would be a coronation on the Wolverines' dream season from heaven, it instead turned out to be a frying pan to the face called reality. Michigan should be immensely proud of how far they've come to get to this point, but also now are on high alert about how far the program still has to go in order to compete with a team of Georgia's caliber. Only two teams in the cou...
