[After THE JUMP: a rundown]

Things discussed:

• PFF loved Hutchinson but the entire DL. Against two first round OTs it was impressive.
• The one hold on the guy with Kemp wasn't a hold but some of the stuff they let go was insaaaaane.
• NCAA should give Kemp an extra year, right?
• A plan for crossing routes!
• The offense, oy. Solution to QB situation?
• Sam: Harbaugh seeing things in practice that don't happen in the game. Ten-man football.
• Brian: Disagree. More like Michigan's limiting stuff they can do, don't have adaptations to adaptations.
• Borges and Brian agree: Black had to make that block to end the game.
• Sam: Missed explosive run plays is altering our perception. Brian: Michigan not making people wrong.
• Around the league: is PSU going to get Kinnick'd?
• Michigan State can beat Wisconsin? Craig's down for that one.
• Expect John O'Neill crew this week, yay.

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: Michigan had a ton of two-high, which gets a thorough discussion, and put out their rush packages very, very aggressively. I have 21 plays with no DTs on the field.

A lot of the single high, clear man coverage snaps came late, when Michigan went nuts with the okie packages and whatnot… and then they dropped to zone a lot anyway.

SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Hutchinson/Kemp/Dwumfour/Paye as your four man line, which wasn't that common. Hutchinson and Paye were close to omnipresent until Paye went out; Danna took over all of his snaps and the DTs started getting some passing downs. Prior to that it was Jetpack on passing downs. Mason got some scattered snaps. Also I thought I saw Hinton out there live but not on review?

Hudson/McGrone/Glasgow omnipresent. Uche got about half the snaps, all of them in 3-3-5 or jetpack packages. Michigan did use him as a standup DE in some 4-man fronts from time to time.

Usual Hill/Gray/Thomas rotation at CB. Metellus and Hawkins omnipresent, with Dax Hill getting another couple dozen snaps as a nickelback.
