FORMATION NOTES: PSU is generally a standard 4-3, but they show a lot of different fronts and get weird even on standard downs. Michigan added a fair bit of Pistol with a fullback in the backfield (invariably Bredeson). Some of these plays were tackle over, and here's all three things mentioned in one screenshot:

Schoonmaker is the "left tackle" to the bottom of the screen, and PSU has just put five guys to the left of the center when the run strength is to the right. More discussion below.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Nothing of note. Barnhart continued playing RT in Jones's absence. I don't think AJ Henning played. Andrel Anthony was very marginal, it looks like they're heavy in on Bell/Wilson/Johnson. Edwards got more run in this game than previous; CJ Stokes is not rotating in for real snaps.

TAILGATE: If you're looking for a spot to tailgate on Saturday, Matt and the MGoBus will be hosting one at Venue. See where we podcast, try the food, watch the first period of the hockey game. RSVP here if you're coming.

Matt Demorest of HomeSure Lending and I did another YouTube show where we look at a play or two and try to show you something you can spot next Saturday, and a quick talk me up/talk me down segment. This week I wanted to show what we meant by Penn State playing "super aggressive" and how Michigan was ready to adjust to it—which was interesting because MSU has been playing that gambit all year. If you're looking to buy or refi, he's the guy.

There is nothing after the jump because it's video content.
