Time to jump them. O LET DO IT.
August 9th, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
Ya, But Make the Playoffs.
Play More, Talk Less.

This is probably my favorite raw stat for predicting defensive success. YPP is important, and no surprise that we've been elite in the last few years.
Also, OSU is the only school in the top ten in both offense and defense YPP. Yeah, they've been really good yall.

That powerful offense is the brainchild of Kevin Wilson. I wanted Michigan to somehow get him. I HATED when the news came out during the season that he was likely going to leave Indiana and go to Ohio St as offensive coordinator.

embed for the board:
i'd like to keep opposing offenses to negative yardage this year.
WIN WITH AGGRESSION.

4 of the top 6 from the BIG 10. And the SEC is supposed to be the toughest conference.
August 9th, 2018 at 11:52 PM ^
How many losses are they allowing?
August 10th, 2018 at 1:26 AM ^
Just goes to show it's a 3 phase game.

Should silence the "Defense Wins Championships" crowd?
Our losses last year we scored 10, 13, 10, 20, 19.

Our defense was not as good as that ranking last year. It was young and it folded against PSU, Wisconson, OSU 2nd half and Clemson 4th quarter.
August 10th, 2018 at 11:12 PM ^
I do believe in that phrase. That defense that year was absolutely championship worthy... but you need a semi-capable OL/QB to complement that D

Isn't Michigan tied for #2 if it has the same YPP allowed as Clemson, though?
Seems like all the ties are listed alphabetically.

Add daxton hill and another safety like him and we pass both of them.
August 10th, 2018 at 5:41 AM ^
To bad our offense sucks
August 10th, 2018 at 9:52 AM ^
sucked
past tense
I fully expect improvement this season
August 10th, 2018 at 6:52 AM ^
Dude. We haven’t started yet.
August 10th, 2018 at 8:52 AM ^
How 'bout them Aztecs? Top ten defense over the playoff era, plus an offense that has a 2000 yard rusher seemingly every year running the I form like an old USC team. I know Rocky Long is old, but it's kinda weird he never gets brought up as a great G5 coach.
August 10th, 2018 at 9:03 AM ^
We need daxton hill in the worst way. Hopefully hes reading this ...
August 10th, 2018 at 11:55 AM ^
Why? Shouldn't the focus be on the not even mediocre offense rather than jumping from 2 to 1 in YPP allowed. Doesn't seem like that would move the overall needle much.
August 10th, 2018 at 1:25 PM ^
And Don Brown (2015 BC) is tied with Don Brown (2016 Michigan) at #3 for fewest points in a season, 183.
