Jalen Milroe says Michigans defense is more physical than Georgiass
https://youtu.be/ZAhL6OAeI0U?si=lKu2wjjqlBsHuoHl
Lots of random questions but when asked about the similarities between Michigan and Georgia's defenses, he says Georgia's is more complex but Michigan is more physical

Or this is all just generic football speak and a 19 year old was asked a question on national tv and tried to give a non descript answer
December 24th, 2023 at 11:41 PM ^
Ding ding ding!
Also, what Harrison really said is that he was doubled more than he ever had been before. “I don’t know if I’ve gotten doubled more in a game than today,” he said. “The safety help they had over top or inside — I’ve never seen anything like it until today. The bracket coverage in the red zone that we got, we got doubled a lot more today than I ever have before.”
That's awesome, and a wonderful achievement by the Michigan defense. But it's simply not correct to say that Harrison said he had never seen a defense so "complex."

9 targets, 5 receptions for 118 yds for 1 TD.
9 targets?? MHJ deserved more targets. We're lucky that Day fucked up and not threw more to him. Wasn't our defense. They should've given him more opportunities no matter the coverage. You always feed that generational talent.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:28 AM ^
So you want Honda McCord throwing into constantly disguised double coverage all day? Do you think Michigan's secondary is a bunch of scrubs? If the coverage is there, you'll be lucky to get away with an incompletion. Nine targets is a testament to just how good he was covered...
December 25th, 2023 at 12:21 PM ^
Weren't 2 targets intercepted? That seems like a bad idea to add another half dozen tries.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
Or it could be a running QB's veiw from film study vs a WR veiw after having played vs said defense 2 years in a row.
Looking at same thing through different lens.

IIRC, MHJr. did not say that Michigan’s defense was the most complex, but his actual quote was saying he hadn’t been doubled covered as consistently all season. As in, Michigan chose to send a CB/Safety combo with MHJr. all game regardless of where Harrison was lining up in the formation.
other Big Ten teams would defend Harrison depending on where in the formation he was lining up… Michigan decided to just keep two guys on him regardless of the formation.

I haven’t watched enough UGA football to know if it’s more complex but it is very complex, ran by good coaches and executed by high level players. They run various switches and had an interesting double spy against Milroe, which I’ve never seen before You can see that here: https://youtu.be/zcND_EhVSs4?si=JFJNHIBKPJBsrfnq
December 26th, 2023 at 1:07 PM ^
Yeah, I saw the double spy stuff. Seems like UGA got got doing that though because it takes one more guy out of coverage.
December 25th, 2023 at 5:17 AM ^
I was thinking the same thing. Let Bama believe that and they’ll be trying to figure out who to block the whole game. The stunts Minter runs is nfl stuff that most lineman won’t see until Sundays.
December 25th, 2023 at 11:41 AM ^
What I'm hoping is that he doesn't have a grasp of how complex Michigan's defense actually is.
Or it could mean that they are very confident in their game plan and it will be something to neutralize what Michigan likes to do.
December 25th, 2023 at 1:00 PM ^
Harrison said he had never seen anything like what Minter threw at him in the game, but then again I think complicated zones would be wasted on Milroe. The danger is in his improvisation as a runner. So we just have to not turn our backs on him.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
Georgi ass!
FINALLY someone spelled it right.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
The physical nature of our defense will be made most evident in about a week’s time.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:37 PM ^
Bama has been here many times. They know what to say, and perhaps more importantly, what not to say.
December 25th, 2023 at 9:07 AM ^
Saban's a master at this stuff.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
No need to be complex when you know the other team's signs.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:49 PM ^
Helow feeding us inside info, all is going according to plan.
December 24th, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
Rat poison.
December 24th, 2023 at 11:14 PM ^
Rat poison
December 25th, 2023 at 2:44 PM ^
Third this. It is rat poison.
December 24th, 2023 at 11:34 PM ^
Whatever... Beat Bama.
December 25th, 2023 at 12:15 AM ^
Don’t listen to a word he says.
December 25th, 2023 at 12:38 AM ^
Guess we’ll find out. Oh well, yea they are super good? No points you say?
December 25th, 2023 at 2:14 AM ^
Since we are talking about George-ass. I'm going to also drunk post. In order ensure that I was greatly pleasured, I rewatched the TCU game. From my amateur viewpoint, I believe that missing Corum was the difference in the game. Neither the Philly Special, or the fumbled handoff to Mullings would have occurred if he were in the game... we would have simply run it up the gut. It also jumps off the screen how Michigan's Defensive line is superior this year. I'm feeling confident about this upcoming Rose Bowl. Go Blue!
December 25th, 2023 at 3:07 AM ^
Michigan will brake you.
December 25th, 2023 at 4:14 AM ^
Michigan will decelerate you.
December 25th, 2023 at 8:31 AM ^
Michigan will apply retro-rockets to you.
December 25th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
Michigan will utilize the inertial dampeners on you.
December 25th, 2023 at 7:51 AM ^
...he says Georgia's is more complex but Michigan is more physical.
Scott Frost (and his mom) approved this message.
December 25th, 2023 at 10:03 AM ^
So I guess he's saying they're going to outsmart us? Good luck with that.
December 25th, 2023 at 11:17 AM ^
I have to say, I agree with him.
December 25th, 2023 at 11:34 AM ^
Gonna smack that Bama ass.
December 25th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
Looking forward to that contest on January 1st.
Nothing against Milroe - from what I’ve seen in press conferences - he carries himself well and definitely is talented. My hope is for Minter to dial things up that no one has seen before.
Go Blue!
December 25th, 2023 at 11:59 AM ^
Hahahaha. He thinks Georgia’s is more complex? Ask Marvin Harrison jr about that.
December 25th, 2023 at 1:58 PM ^
NFL style defense that is not complex? Amoeba? I suspect that comment was pulled off the standard press conference prep package.
December 25th, 2023 at 2:11 PM ^
Without having played Michigan yet how does he know Michigan is more physical than Georgia. Isn't physicality something you would need to experience on the field?
This just sounds like Saban whispering in his ear to only say good things about everyone and this was a spur of the moment say something type of answer.
December 25th, 2023 at 6:06 PM ^
Good topic, good conversation. But this is just boilerplate anti-bulletin board material. Hopefully, Mr. Milroe will discover a defense that is both physical AND complex in the extreme. That's what I think we have with Minter directing our players.
