FORMATION NOTES: PSU was a pretty standard 4-3 over for most of the game, preferring to shade a linebacker over the slot.

They did not generally have to add extra guys to the box, except when Michigan got super-jumbo. They had their normal 4-3 out there for a couple Big Big Boy snaps but then adjusted:

I labeled this a 7-2. PSU's problem is that while the five guys on the right are DL, the two standup guys over the TE side are 220 and 230 and they're going up against Hinton, Jones, and Barner.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Obviously the Big Big Boys package was new and fairly important. Michigan had 56 snaps; they had 7 OL on for 13 of them and 6 for four of them. Trente Jones thus got 17 snaps; Myles Hinton got 13. Skill positions:

  • Barner: 44
  • Wilson/Johnson: 38
  • Loveland: 34
  • Bredeson: 20
  • Morris: 10
  • Morgan: 5

Corum had 36 snaps to Edwards's 22; Mullings got 3 in two back sets with Edwards.

[After THE JUMP: holding up a sign that says RUN the entire second half]

Almost good enough. [Patrick Barron]

This was meant to run yesterday afternoon, but something else happened. Content is still good though.

Matt Demorest, Realtor and Lender and I have brought back our (sometimes-)weekly video short. The purpose of these is to show you something on film that you as a fan will be able to pick up on when you see it in the future. This week's the obvious topic: How did Michigan mess with Penn State's run fits.

If you're in the housing market, Matt's the guy.

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

That's a top-ten team in a home game. With the best defense in America. We're saying 'run' every play. Michigan puts up 6.1 yards an attempt. Do you think it's the signs? Do you really think it's the signs?

Ready or not.

Why we run.

the dead-eyed stare of a million-year-old evil 

"You are not being fair to radio callers because they are so much smarter than the Ohio State fans."

well that game was something!

Everybody messed with the wrong institution.

Gamification and the poor pig.

finally: football

Do they arm wrestle on an official visit?
