FORMATION NOTES: Rutgers ran a normal-ass defense.

They were in a 4-3 virtually all day. The safeties were not exceptionally nosy and the linebackers did not blitzball. Normal defense.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Nothing unusual except for the Henderson/Hinton rotation you're already aware of. Some interesting WR/TE snap counts, though:

• Barner: 49
• Johnson: 46
• Wilson: 45
• Loveland: 40
• Bredeson: 20
• Morris: 18
• Moore: 9
• Hibner: 5
• Morgan: 3

TE #3 had more snaps than WR #3. There can't be another program in America that's done that this year.

Things Discussed:

• Offense vs Rutgers: Double SZ returns, that's going to work well with Arc. Zone reads add an outside threat to Duo.
• Defense vs Rutgers: Missed Mason Graham: his absence nerfs Grant; Goode and Benny are decent players but opposites and can't play together.
• Rutgers thought they could Iso Barrett and he was was awesome. Harrell's been awesome, Stewart has to stop giving up edges.
• What's so sad about that Rutgers TD is McGregor was dropping back into that slant.
• Nebraska's defense: After seeing Colorado's OL it's an ain't played nobody situation. Colorado had answers for all the things Nebraska was doing. Michigan is going to have to gameplan for them though because they like to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Loveland is the difference in this game: they have nobody who can match up with him.
• Is Nebraska's defense like TCU? Different: Nebraska's LBs are fast and small; TCU's LBs were slow but thicc. They're very "Don Brown" in that they have runts who are going to be flying to the ball.
• You've made it when you've got a haterz name. Nobody ever wrote "$eth" before.
• One bad half. Marcus Freeman: why are you insane?
• Penn State vs Ohio State: Craig thinks it's an OSU blowout. Seth thinks PSU has a QB who's making up for their OL issues and they've got the DBs to hang.
• Iowa: Poor Cade, at Michigan he was sitting on his ass behind one guy he hates, now he's sitting on his ass behind five of them.
• Brian: If I was an Iowa fan I'd be done with Kirk Ferentz, who put his son over the whole program.
