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 did a few unusual things. They had a quads formation with a RB in the backfield:
This was either bubble screens or QB runs and probably won't recur unless there's some more stuff in the vault. They also had an arc read off a twins formation with two guys in the backfield:
Also there were a couple I-Form plays!
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Patterson at QB, usual on OL—no Hayes this time. Haskins and Charbonnet split the RB snaps about down the middle; Turner and Wilson did not appear. Ben Mason got ~10 snaps as a FB/TE.
WR was close to even between Black, Collins, DPJ, and Bell, with each guy getting 60-70% of the snaps because most snaps had 3 WRs. Eubanks was near-omnipresent; TE #2 was mostly All, with a cameo from Schoonmaker. Sainristil, Jackson, and Johnson got cameos.
[After THE JUMP: more yards, fewer points]
