Episode notes
Offense Exploited Predictable Stretch Defense
- Michigan's offense used play designs to exploit Wisconsin's expectation of stretch runs and created early explosive gains.
- Chip Lindsey's mix of screens, RPOs, and movement plays simplified reads for Bryce Underwood and opened up big-play opportunities.
Protection Metrics Look Better Than Perception
- Pass protection metrics looked decent but feel can differ by viewer; PFF showed about a 15% pressure rate which is solid.
- Tackles and guards showed youth mistakes but overall line has continuity and room to grow together.
Design Plays To Reduce Protection Stress
- Use screens, movement, and RPOs to limit protection stress and simplify the quarterback's reads when protection is shaky.
- Put Bryce Underwood in quick-decision and on-the-move situations to build confidence and reduce sack risk.
