Upon Further Review 2023: Defense vs Washington

FORMATION NOTES: The UFR Glossary is here and you may want to brush up because DeBoer made me bring out rare formations like a true under-center Single-Wing, and weird notations like Z->Y means the WR and TE have switches spots. This is the Go Go setup (aka Single-Wing RB) that UNLV was running way back in September. I put covered players in parentheses, but Washington also managed to get away with some illegal formations where nobody was covered, in which case I just put a question mark in there, e.g. Go Go Right (?). "Hide H" was a trick where Rome Odunze hid out at tight end and got M to align in a mismatch. That's him trying not to be noticed as the H-back on the top of the formation (where all the Michigan players are pointing). I'm using "Flex" for a TE split out wide for a 2x2 set. "Demi" means the TE isn't tight but neither is he in the slot (see #37 on the left). Also we were treated to a skycam version of this game, so I can provide a few canonical examples of terms we're often flinging around, and some new ones. Michigan in the above is in an G front, which means the nose is head up over the guard. Sometimes he was over the tackle, which I call Wide, where the DT is lined up over a tackle. Letters or numbers (A, AA, 0) in the defensive front that means they've added LBs on the line of scrimmage in that alignment (A gap, both A gaps, head up on the center, etc). Another nuance I can capture with greater accuracy than usual is the difference between Kirby Smart's "Mint" front and a true 404 where the DL are heads up on the tackles—I think a lot of the Tites I charted this year were actually Mint. Michigan got creative too. This is "Crable": I'll also try to note in the text when Michigan used sim pressures, since that's going to be relevant. [After THE JUMP: Winning a natty.]

PUNT By Bryan MacKenzie@Bry_Mac Sometimes in the morning, I am petrified and can't moveAwake, but cannot open my eyesAnd the weight is crushing down on my lungs, I know I can't breatheAnd hope someone will save me this time - - - - - - - - I sit here like the rest of you. Not knowing how I feel, yet feeling it with uncomfortable, unyielding, unsustainable intensity. A million thoughts and nothing coherent to tie them together because AHHHHHH. I mean, look at the title of this post. Read it aloud. Picture tonight. Imagine toe meeting leather. Hear it in your mind. Now reduce that to words. Yeah, me neither. - - - - - - - - In August of 2009, on the heels of the worst season of Michigan football in living memory, MGoBlog put together a somewhat atypical preseason hype video, set to Rilo Kiley’s “A Better Son/Daughter.” The gist of it was, “yes, that sucked, but it will get better.” (As if any Michigan fan could forget how THAT season went, the fact that a similar video set to the same song was created the following year should remind you.) A Better Son/Daughter might seem like an odd choice for a hype video. Aside from spending the first 100 seconds with nothing but melancholy vocals and an organ accompaniment, the lyrics detail the struggles of a person battling bipolar disorder and trying to find happiness, knowing that the highs and the lows will never truly be separable. In the post explaining the editorial thought process, Brian explained: “in desperation there's that shred of hope; people who are down and not desperate are resigned. I could be ignorant or desperate.” [After THE JUMP: Sometimes when you’re on.]

They've drawn a familiar foe in multiple ways: Washington played Michigan two years ago and several starters on both teams played in that game. One of the guys who didn't, starting QB Michael Penix, was playing for Indiana. The 2021 game was an explosion of offensive incompetence on Washington's part. Michigan, then very early in Cade McNamara's starting career, got out to a comfortable lead and then executed the Penn State forward-pass-has-been-banned gameplan to see the game out. To describe Washington's transformation since is to reach for superlatives. They fired Jimmy Lake, hired Kalen Deboer, imported Penix, surrounded him with excellent pass blockers and freaky wide receivers, and went straight to the moon… on one side of the ball. Washington enters this game 12th in SP+, sporting the #4 offense in the country and the #44 defense. By Bill Connelly's reckoning, the last time a team with a defense ranked outside of the top 30 in SP+ won a national title was Oklahoma. In 1950. The worst title-winning defense since was Auburn in 2010, when Cam Newton overcame SP+'s #27 D. You can see why when you look at Washington's season, which has been a non-stop rollercoaster of close games since late September. After beating Cal 59-32, Washington has not won a game by more than ten points. They finished the Pac-12 schedule with wins of 2, 3, and 3 over Oregon State, Washington State, and Oregon; they were trailing Arizona State 7-6 midway through the fourth quarter before an 89-yard pick-six pulled their butts out of the fire. They survived a couple of late shots at the endzone to beat Texas last Monday. Washington is a bonafide Team Of Destiny. Michigan isn't. It's merely very good at football. Let's get it on.
