debacles

SPONSOR NOTE: Upon Further Review is sponsored by HomeSure Lending and Matt Demorest. Rates are the lowest they've been in three years so it can't hurt to check whether you can save money on a refinance. Or you could buy a house in Ann Arbor! Good luck with that!

Matt's relocated the bus to Pioneer this year, BTW, and invites everyone to stop by and say hi. There's beer. I mean, obviously. Matt. Matt and beer: a good pairing.

FORMATION NOTES: All gun except for a couple goal-line snaps; all 1 RB 1 TE or 1 RB 2 TE. The only slightly weird thing was a trips formation where Michigan put Eubanks well off the LOS, which worked once on a screen and then Wisconsin figured it out. The Badgers alternated between their 3-4 and a 2-4-5 that we discussed last week; most of it was the 2-4-5.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Michigan yanked Patterson just before half and seemed set to give McCaffrey the rest of the game but then he got concussed after the second targeting call he suffered. Milton got the last drive.

RB was weird: Charbonnet got the first snap, Turner got the most snaps, and Mason had exactly two before he fumbled. Hassan Haskins got in late.

OL was the expected starting rotation with Runyan at LT; Hayes got a drive or two late at RT. TE was the usual; Schoonmaker got in late. WR was the usual with the addition of some DPJ snaps. Sainristil got in right at the end.
