Early game--a lot of 2-3 DT's and 1 edge. Late game had a lot of Moore and Simmons when it was clear Michigan had to throw more--although their 4th quarter offense game plan was puzzling if trying to actually mount a come back. They ran off as much clock in the 4th as we did with runs and short passes in the middle. The clock basically ran most of the 4th on both sides of the ball.

I re-watched the condensed broadcast, and this guy's film room video: Yes Niblack was absent. Probably relates to Juan Davis being all over the place in the blocking game--had a 1-2 targets that did not hit. On one score he neutralized an edge. Deondre Moore was also on several snaps and had the 1 TD called back. Cook and Wingo were on several snaps but mostly running DB's off the targeted areas. Per this guy's video--although many described Michigan as giving us multiple fronts, there was still a majority of snaps in cover 3, and he shows how Sark just carved up what was given over and over. Also a great explanation of how Sark tried and end around that did not hit, and then went back to it again with Wingo and presented it different with two different pre-snap alignments that got Michigan into too many shifts. Related--I know the OTF crew discussed why they don't have game film featured on the channel but can't recall the answer. Clearly other channels do film study and work out the copyright issues.

I saw that also--Red looks like RB1 now. Would have played if he stayed but down on the depth chart and some gadget plays. I still think the "Redcat" can only work if there is a little threat of a pass out of it. Crawford is solid but I like our upgraded speed. Ross--obviously some details kept in confidence on what happened.

A few box score observations : —Jalen Catelon with a pick six for UNLV. A tipped pass rushing the qb he caught and ran back —Jake Smith looks like he’s made it back from injury and multiple transfers—3 catches for Az State —Troy Omeire listed 2nd on Az State depth chart. No catches this week. — Isaiah Neyor with a big game for Nebraska. Not that we are hurting at Wr but always wondered why we could rehab him back to the rotation. As the OTF crew have discussed—wining teams will have transfer out players move on to productive careers.
