An interesting stat from the last 3 years against Ohio. In the 2nd Half Michigan has punted just once with zero turnovers. The rest were scoring drives or victory formation.
Yesterday’s 2nd half play-calling had a big impact. The Alex Orji package, Donovan Edwards pass, TE slip, all delivered on key drives. The biggest being Michigan’s response after Ohio State muscled it down the field with Henderson and Traynum. In the 2nd half Moore out-coached Knowles. A lot of focus on isolating LB’s and taking advantage of over-pursuit. I thought the Buckeye DT’s and corners played really well.
On to Iowa. Another top defense. And a really good challenge for Michigan’s patchwork O-Line.
