Possibly the most interesting Motor City/Pizza Pizza Bowl since Randy Moss played Ole Miss?

I might actually go to this game, as yours truly will be at the future in-laws near Ann Arbor for the yule tide. However, I'm not paying $100 for a ticket through the ticket office when I can get them for $35 through the Lions ticket office. 

might be able to pick them up outside the stadium for $10 30 minutes before kick

This.
Even $30 is too much to spend.

I hate watching that option unless we're blowing it up in the backfield on nearly every play.

you must be from SEC country

I know polenta ain't grits.

This is a very odd form of any option, sometimes call the spread option, which is really isn't in my view either.  They don't run that many plays.  Johnson doesn't even have a play sheet, he just calls them from memory, and they pretty much all look the same to me, left or right.

The cut and roll blocks have always annoyed me and I hoped we could survive with no injuries.

It’s a kind of spread option becuase the pass game is built on the old run-and-shoot. It just takes the slot receivers and puts them on the hips of the tackles to make them slot backs. 
As for having many plays, their run game is easily more complex than most. The majority of schools base out of 3-5 concepts, with a smattering of change-ups. Tech runs a few more than that. Their pass game is obviously more parred down, though I’d assume they have the ability to go with more, but it’s just not needed (the dirty little secret is teams go into games with more scaled-down packages than we think).
Anyway, the cut blocks are a thing. They’re in almost every offense to a degree. Option teams have more, but it’s still football. Still a sport where every play involves collision after collision.
