Michigan vs. Northwestern - Game Thread - 12:00 PM - Fox
Friend of the blog Jeff Niemann and his graphic designer brother Brian developed this interactive graphic/app so you can track in-game stats. The press has had something like this for years that we use to pump out interesting data during and after games. I figured you folk might want to play with it. I think if you’re on a desktop you have to use that popout icon on the bottom-right.
Unfortunately they weren’t able to make this say “M 0 0 N” like we asked, but the request is in. Go Blue!

Prediction:
Michigan will have 55 rush attempts vs. 12 pass attempts.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:47 AM ^
Why is your rushing attempt guess so low?
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:58 AM ^
I thought about going 60+, but figured that would be too extreme.
FTR: 300+ rush yards & ~120 pass yards.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:40 AM ^
Go Blue!
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:41 AM ^
Could we please get an explanation on how to use / read the cool new graphic?
Thanks!!
Edit: I played with it and it told me things. Interesting tool, not sure how useful compared to the usual box score stuff, but fun to look at

Looks like time is on the polar axis and moves clockwise. The radial axis is field position. The colors refer to which team is possessing the ball and how far the drive goes.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:44 AM ^
Go Blue!
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:44 AM ^
Looking for lots of nice things today. Go Blue !
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:46 AM ^
See, a fancy game thread this week (yes, I knew it was coming).
Don't worry, I'll post the Snowflake Threads as normal.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:47 AM ^
Gonna be an easy win today hopefully. 35-13 is my prediction.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:50 AM ^
Im thinking 43-15, but Ill take either score today.
October 23rd, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
Your prediction is just a tad off
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:47 AM ^
Crush them.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:48 AM ^
Clifford starting for PSU today. Illinois without their 2 starting corners today, gonna be a long day for the Illini vs OSU.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:48 AM ^
I’m hoping the men don’t look past Northwestern like we seemingly did Rutgers. Just take care of business today and then you can hate on MSU all week.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:49 AM ^
No Keegan or Upshaw today. Wilson dressed with a wrist wrap and Zinter with a club on the hand.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:20 PM ^
Looks who is back!
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:50 AM ^
Hello I am here for the monkey rodeo.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:52 AM ^
Bill Walton is absolutely ridiculous
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:57 AM ^
Yeah, totally out of control. He really needs to bottle the edge.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:59 AM ^
I think he did a "wake and bake"
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:02 PM ^
So did I, but I'm in full control of my faculties.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:57 AM ^
Hoping to see a varied run game today which involves many players and positions carrying the ball, attacking the inside and outside, on all downs and distance. Running the ball is Michigan’s identity on offense and we have 3 of the best backs in the nation, fast receivers and a big line. Why bother passing much if you can win with a run heavy game plan?
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:58 AM ^
I'm ready to...get...it...on. YOU KNOW IT!!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:01 PM ^
Walton now babbling about "the business climate in Utah." Dood...
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:04 PM ^
I hope the offense does not go way too conservative. I want to see Cade air it out!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:04 PM ^
Am I the only one who gets a slight twinge of nerves knowing Gus Johnson is on the call? Chaos seems to follow him
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:04 PM ^
Gus JOHNSOOOOOOOON IS ON. THE. CALL. HE. WILL. BE. CALLING. THE. PLAY BY PLAY. THIS IS WHAT YOU PAY FOR FOLKS!!!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:11 PM ^
It's SECOND AND SEVEN!!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:06 PM ^
This thread is a sticky...very nice but confused me for a minute when I did not see it farther down on the board list
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:07 PM ^
Yeesh, need to cover those receivers guys.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:08 PM ^
Yuck, that soft zone!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
Why does Henning still have that job?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
How do they not call holding?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:13 PM ^
Hutch has been held all year.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
Colson gets the start over Hill-Green today
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:11 PM ^
I swear on that NW pass completion he stepped out of bounds some 10 or more yards earlier. Hurry up with no look.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
Saw the same thing but we recovered nicely.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:11 PM ^
Option near their own goal line?
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
Any excuse not to throw the ball. *sigh*
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
NU keeping 8 on the line, playing the run. There should be some open WR downfield!
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
They are not wrong when you play Michigan.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
Got it
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
Hey, there's a short pass for a first down, you bums.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:15 PM ^
Keep it going. Mix it up.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
work the edges to soften the middle
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
Yikes chuck
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
Good RPS defense call by NW on the blitz.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:18 PM ^
Not impressed with this team after a week off. Play like this against MSU and chuck up an L.
October 23rd, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
I am actually glad we don't have a bye before MSU. We have had some crap games after byes.
