FORMATION NOTES: Indiana didn't do the thing. There was maybe one corner blitz all day. They lined up in off coverage and the only instance of a hard cover two trap was the weird play on the goal line where Johnson ran the wrong route. For much of the second half they were content to sit with six in the box against three-wide and insert safeties late. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Wilson, Johnson, Loveland, and Barner in a dead heat around 40 snaps for the leader amongst WR/TE sorts. Morris and Bredeson got about 20 each. Moore, Morgan, and English got around 10, mostly late. For the sickos curious...

UFR GLOSSARY is here. FORMATION NOTES: Minnesota was mostly an under-center or shotgun 3-wide with a WR jetting across. Their 4th down formation was Unbalanced; the guy at the bottom of the line is a TE/eligible receiver. And Michigan used a weird formation on 3rd & 7 with 3 DEs on the field and Harrell and a LB stacked behind the nose that I called 3-1 stack. They also split a DE wide on their 5-2s odd formations that I called 5-2 split—the nose is still over the center. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: There were 40 snaps before Tuttle Time in this one. Graham led the DTs in snaps, playing DT or no...

On Wednesday we profiled the Nebraska offense, a unit of intrigue and QB controversy getting back to the roots of Nebraska football. Today we move to the defense, which has been a pleasant surprise in rush defense but is now set to face by far the toughest rushing attack it has seen all season.  The Film: This one w...

UFR GLOSSARY is here. Also apologies for the 2009-level quality on some of these recordings—my copy of the game was in low-res for a chunk of the 2nd quarter. FORMATION NOTES: Mostly basic stuff we've been charting since Loeffler was a Michigan assistant. Michigan broke out an odd formation from its nickel with the WDE (Moore, at the bottom) playing inside the RT. I called it Nickel Tite. A few notation reminders: parentheticals mean the player is covered. I'm still using hyphens for motion so if you see "H-SB" that means the slot receiver (H) motioned to a splitback (SB)...
