Title: Maryland (1-1, 3-2) at #15 Michigan (3-0, 5-1) Post Game
Post by: Anonymous Coward on October 02, 2018, 11:00:31 PM
Time to start this. Durkin's Canada's kids come to the Big House to face the Big Ten's #5 offense (27 nationally) and #1 defense (4 nationally) in S&P+. For its own sake, Maryland brings the #8 offense (76) and #10 defense (50).
The opening spread was something like 17.5, which seemed right.

Also, this graphic from the other thread has been updated to include DL ratings and opponent holding rates from 2018 in the 2014-to-now aggregate. And, yes, it's still preposterous:
(https://mgoblog.com/sites/default/files/users/user7349/B1G%20Holding%20-%20Week%205%202018.png)

Again, the conference minus Michigan is clustered with a slope indicating that, on average, better DLs accumulate more opponent holds. (...) Except for the runaway best DL (...) which has the runaway worst opponent hold rate and is chilling not with yellow flags (we want those!) but these red flags over in Andromeda.
Don't jump into conspiracies. It doesn't have to be that. There could be many explanations. I only advocate finding the conference's answer. Confirming/testing whether that answer is reasonable. And getting it fixed fast because this observation is ... concerning.

Unreal. Michigan is getting shafted. They need to just present this information and raise hell with the B1G offices and Delaney and hopefully it starts to change.

As for this game. I am thinking it will be a lot like Northwestern unfortunately. Closer and uglier than it should be with Michigan pulling a tight one out of their asses.

As Einstein is quoted as saying, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

All we've seen from Harbaugh on offense is doing more of the same and hoping the results will be better. Sticking with the same OL line-up. Playing bad players like Sean McKeon or Jon Runyan Jr instead of more talented younger players. Not making needed personnel changes. Calling the same terrible offensive plays. Trying to force a run game inside that isn't there. Throwing it only 22 times a game on average.

Pretty obvious. The guy is insane.

Barely throwing it against Western, SMU, and Nebraska and not benching the tackles for all 3 games was a huge mistake. Huge. Perfect opportunity to work out the kinks in the passing game and try new personnel. Wasted opportunity really.

OSU fan site The Ozone nailed it once again in their weekly Michigan Monday column. https://theozone.net/2018/10/michigan-monday-northwestern/

"It also means that Jim Harbaugh missed an opportunity to work out the kinks with the passing game. They threw the ball just 18 times against both Western Michigan and SMU, which isn’t how you get chemistry going with your quarterback and receivers (tight ends).
That chemistry was missing against Northwestern and would have definitely come in handy in the red zone.

When Michigan hosts Maryland on Saturday, it will mark 23 months since the Wolverines last put up 500 yards of total offense. That’s a span of 22 games without hitting 500 yards. Brady Hoke’s longest stretch was 11 games — and those just happened to be the final 11 games of his Michigan coaching career. Even Rich Rodriguez’s streak was “only” 18 such games.

With Michigan’s defense, it’s not like they need to put up 500 yards of total offense on average, but with their defense, why not be more open to it?
Jim Harbaugh doesn’t have to protect his defense like they are constantly on the brink. They are the brink.
This offense could be so much more, and because Harbaugh doesn’t want it to be, this program will always be limited.
Chase Winovich and Devin Bush aren’t going to be here forever. Don’t waste ’em."

I agree the passing game is behind schedule though. So far, I've been OK with that in the interest of getting the OL and running game right. And I think that's working. But at some point a developing offense does have to try for prolific. It's a hard step. They won't get there this year. But Harbaugh does have to prep the program to be the type that gets more than zero 500 yard games per year. The defense doesn't require it. Balance does. Back-up plans do.

Disagree. Seems like the only way to get anything done today is to be a complete raging asshole. Donald Trump got himself elected President by raising hell. Bernie Sanders would've been the Dems nominee if he would've been more of a hell raiser. Instead he played too nice and let the Clinton machine F him and smiled while they were f'ing him.
You have to be a mean dick or people will just continue to walk all over you. They need to make it uncomfortable for Delaney and threaten to go public and just be complete nightmare headache pain in the ass to deal with or nothing will happen.

sounding like Rashan Gary and Chris Evans will sit this one out.

Also, Harbaugh says freshman Michael Barrett has been moved from Viper/LB on defense to Wide Receiver on offense. Compared him to a guy he coached in San Fransisco- Anquan Boldin.

edit: speaking of Boldin....didn't realize this but the guy has 1,076 catches for over 13,700 yards and 82 TD's. Dang. Lots of receivers in the NFL Hall of Fame with numbers that don't approach that.

Nope, it's a rating, not a "rate" in the conventional sense (not purely sacks per snap or other event).
From fooball outsiders (https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaadl2017) (which I believe is the primary publisher for S&P+, F/+ and FEI):
"Adjusted Sack Rate: An opponent-adjusted version of a team's sack rate -- sacks divided by (sacks plus passes), presented on a scale in which 100 is perfectly average, above 100 is good, below 100 is bad."

It does bear mentioning though that usually ref complaints are not accompanied by statistical power to back up the hunch. 
Here the concern is less "ew i have a rando worry" than a blinking bold "hey look at this very loud blinking supporting document confirming the worry and showing how it not only exists but is also more dramatic than expected (even when accumulated over 4.4 years to try to drown out dumb luck)."

This is his team and many players play for him. A few came back for their 5th Year for him.
The current players parents and the High School coaches and the players themselves say the toxic culture crap is just that, crap.
The death of Jordan McNair falls on the training staff. He doesn't control the training staff. Quite the contrary, they tell him who can play and who can't.
I have no personal ties with him, so if they decide to fire him so be it. However, given the investigation so far, he's done nothing wrong and this toxic culture story is just BS propagated by the attorney for Jordan McNair's family.

Maryland Terrapins (1-0, 3-1) at #15 Michigan Wolverines (2-0, 4-1)
NOON - Ann Arbor, MI - ABC
I think most figured that by this juncture of the season, we'd either get our Harbaugh versus his first defensive coordinator in Ann Arbor storylines, or Durkin would be out.  Instead it's neither, as the Maryland program remains in limbo.  You have to give the staff and kids a ton of credit for being where they are at this point.  That Texas win keeps looking better and better, and they opened conference play with a resounding win over what had been a pretty hot Minnesota defense.  The Terps did it by getting back to an explosive ground game, the way they have for the past few years.  They might not consistently hit you for 4 yards, but they are going to find way to get huge plays on the ground.  They tallied 315 rushing yards on 8.5 ypc, with four different players having individual runs of over 20 yards.  When you remove the quarterbacks from the equation, the numbers become more eye popping, with 309 yards on 10.3 ypc.  They did that against a Minnesota defense that had been one of the best in the league against the run.  The challenge now is doing it against the run defense that ranks second in the conference in Michigan.  The Wolverines defense hasn't exactly faced the strongest rushing opponents (only Western Michigan ranks in the top 50 nationally), but they've managed to hold opponents to just 2.4 ypc, #4 in the nation.  Maryland knows they aren't going to lean on that front all day, they just need to hit their explosive plays when they have the chance.  Michigan is one of only 12 teams nationally yet to allow a run of over 25 yards, although Maryland is also one of the 12.  Last year that worked for Maryland, as Lorenzo Harrison and Ty Johnson, as well as quarterback Ryan Brand, broke runs of over 25 yards, and the Terps put up 5.6 ypc against Michigan's defense.  The problem was that Michigan's offense ran out to a 28 point lead, and forced Maryland into a situation where they had to throw 38 passes.  If Maryland has to throw 38 passes, this is going to get just as ugly as last year.  If Maryland can keep it a game late, they've proven their running game works against anyone, even Michigan.  It's the Maryland defense that people are sleeping on, ranking #7 nationally with just 4.3 ypp allowed.  Their defensive efficiency numbers show a slightly different story, ranking #50 nationally, and #8 in the conference, but that's more due to lack of competition offensively than lack of production.  That's still solidly behind Michigan's, who ranks #11 nationally, and #2 in the Big Ten, behind only Michigan State.  Give Matt Canada two weeks to prepare though, and while he may not be successful, he'll certainly come up with something that will give Don Brown headaches to prepare for.  It's the reason I thought Michigan should have pursued Canada more strongly in the offseason, would have given them easily the top pair of coordinators in the nation.  The Wolverines have gotten out to rough starts in both road games, but at home they've looked invincible.  I expect a closer game than the Ann Arbor fans have been treated to to date, and Maryland will get their big plays, but they'll also get too many three and outs.  Oh, and it features the second and third most penalized teams in the conference, so it might be a 4 hour affair.

Thia feels like a very telling game.  I think Maryland has made major strides, but which was the bigger fluke Texas or Temple?  I think Michigan might be really good and might just be OK (by Michigan standards).  This game won't fully answer those questions but will highly influence how I view them.

Edit: i do appreciate the stats with calls.  I can get behind the idea there is some reason for disparities and it is important to figure out (even if in the end it just ends up being a style of play or something).  I do appreciate the call doesn't go to it being a Big Ten conspiracy or something (people do not think things through on those).

Maryland (3-1, 1-0 B1G) (https://mgoblog.com/content/opponent-watch-week-5-2)
Last week: Beat Minnesota, 42-13; Bye
Recap: Maryland had a bye this week, so the Minnesota game was the last piece of evidence we will get about Maryland before they play Michigan. And this latest piece of evidence was weird. Really, really weird. How does a team that scored zero offensive points and average 3.75 yards per play against Temple turn around and score 35 points (on 10 drives) and 8.47 yards per play against Minnesota? I suppose it’s possible Minnesota is just that bad, or that the Temple game was just a blip… but I don’t think you can write a coherent narrative of Maryland’s first four weeks that doesn’t contain at least one shrug emoji.
This team is as frightening as: Plinko, but where the $0 spots are replaced with “kick in the junk.” Fear Level = 6
Michigan should worry about: Maryland still has one of the most explosive running games in the country: they are #3 in the country in S&P+ marginal explosiveness and #6 in IsoPPP, and they lead the country in carries of 20+ yards against FBS competition. Maryland also has the #1 and #2 backs in terms of yards per carry: Anthony McFarland is averaging 10.78 YPC, and Ty Johnson is at 7.50 YPC.
Michigan can sleep soundly about: Remember how Minnesota made Michigan’s offense look last year? Yeah, they might not be the best barometer
When they play Michigan: Don Brown was born forged out of assorted scrap iron and push brooms to stop spread-to-run teams like Maryland.
Next week: @ Michigan, noon, ABC (Maryland +17.5)

Yeah, I'm not an expert on the targeting thing, it's just so subjective, but in view of other calls we see routinely, it definitely should have been looked at in the least.

I was initially going to say "That's fair and fairer than what I wrote" but I figured it'd be a hard replay to find. It wasn't. I rewatched it on 0.25x speed and the player came up short. Now, he probably was closer to it being 4th and 1 foot than 4th and 1 yard, but still, the official closest to and most responsible for the spot moves his foot in an unconventional way. I suppose it's not proof, but it sure is concerning.

Had to keep hitting stop,can't tell where his knee hits

got this off of an Officials Forum

The relevant rule is 2-40-3:

"The dead-ball spot is the spot under the foremost point of the ball when it becomes dead by rule."

In this case of the runner's knee hitting the ground, the ball becomes dead when his knee hits the ground. The dead-ball spot then is the foremost point of the ball at the moment his knee touched the ground.


but i still can't tell where his knee hits

On the bottom of the video, you can use the little gear tool to slow the video down to 0.25x of normal speed.

Also: no matter where the ball should be spotted, this guy is the one responsible for that spot. The first place where he anchors his foot is conventionally it. He's not supposed to move his foot. But he dances it is an awkward way that is not convention and is concerning.
