SPONSOR NOTE: Not Upon Further Review is sponsored by HomeSure Lending and Matt Demorest because it falls under Neck Sharpies which is what he sponsors now. He's also open now, and one of the things you can do from your home while supporting this good dude and his local employees is to check whether you can save money on a refinance.

WHY? I was charting up this game because I needed to extend UFR data to the end of the season for my HTTV article on the course of #SpeedInSpace over the 2019 season. Since I had it I figured I'd post it. 

FORMATION NOTES: For most of this I only took personnel notes for OSU because I was just trying to complete data. Their standard personnel is like ours except they replace the strong safety with a slot cornerback. I called that a "Nickel." Sometimes the slot cornerback is replaced with a second hybrid (they call it the bullet). I called that a "4-2-5." Their passing down dime is four DEs and an ILB lifted for a second safety. I called that "Rushmen". I called this Nickel Eagle:

Right out of Yost's playbook! Ruiz+ helps Young inside, Haskins wastes himself but that's part of the fake (RPS+2), Eubanks+ seals as his guy goes in, McKeon+2 reaches HSP, Collins+ extended downfield block, Jackson+ speed.

M24	2nd	11	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Run	Counter/Jet Flare	Charbonnet	0
Jet is a fake option (no read). Ruiz gets hands-to-the-faced bad (refs-) when Chase Young spills, McKeon- no oomph on kickout, Runyan- whiffed MLB who chases this down
M24	3rd	11	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	0	4	Rushmen	7	Pass	Fade	Collins	Inc

Mayfield+ tracks Young, Bredeson- beat back by slant, Patterson- is supposed to read WLB who is sitting on LOS should pull and Throw! Why read this guy?
M36	2nd	11	Pistol 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Play-action	Fake Bubble	Bell	Inc
Works as all three LBs track Jackson's route, Bell open down the seam, Patterson throws behind him and high. Okudah gets there eary (refs-) it's thrown so bad (INx, 1, prot 1/1)
M36	3rd	11	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	0	4	Rushmen	6	Pass	Seam	Collins	Inc

Nobody home and Eubanks+2 (route+) deepens and Shea throws him open. Eubanks then dodges and gets another 10 of YAC (DO, 3, prot 2/2)
O44	1st	10	Wildcat Trips	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Run	QB Down G Lead	Jackson	4
Shea wide, Jackson under center. They run P&P without a second puller, using Haskins as a lead blocker instead. Bredeson+ digs out, McKeon gets a late but authoritative seal to rescue a minus
O40	2nd	6	Shotgun Empty	1	0	4	Nickel	6	Pass	Comeback	Collins	11
Patterson-2 bails when Mayfield- is wrangling Young but Young gets outside and it's chuck and pray. Collins comes all the way back to it. Nice save. (CA, 2, prot 2/3)

Bell in the flat Shea double-clutches which gets Bell hit on the catch. Bell+2 uses footwork to shield the ball, sheds that guy and gets YAC (MA, 2, prot 2/2)

Motion 82 in then P&P with Shea but Chase Young causing hell forces Shea upfield and delays Mayfield's block. M now has blockers for everybody, with Collins+2 on a textbook stalk block, but Shea-2 runs outside Mayfield+ kickout. RPS+

RPO look to Collins against soft coverage is likely just a fake. Onwenu- leaves before Ruiz+ has DT but Ruiz seals. Charbonnet- doesn't see it and runs into that DT. RPS- running into 8-man box so there's an unblocked LB at 2 yards
M27	2nd	8	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Pass	Dig	DPJ	24
Prot+2 Shea has all day. Zings a perfect ball that DPJ (route+) picks out of the air in tight coverage with a safety over the top. Results-based charting but scary. (DO, 1, prot 3/3)
O49	1st	10	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Pass	Dig	Bell	17
Crossers underneath Shea throws to the same spot under the safety. Pocket perfect, Charbonnet chip and coverage slide to Chase Young's side neutralizes him RPS+. Ball is a bit off and Bell takes a lick but hangs on. Wind knocked out. "Ron-nie Bell!" (CA, 1, prot 3/3)
O32	1st	10	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	0	4	Nickel	6	Run	Belly	Charbonnet	6

Quick out is gonna be a TE (RPS+2), announcers blame contact but it's just McKeon who stopped instead of going to the ball. Not going to spend more time on this because all parties gone. (CA, 3, prot 2/2)
O5	2nd	Goal	Shotgun Slot RB	1	0	4	Nickel	5	Run	Down G read	Jackson	0
Jackson at RB, it's Down G with a Bash read Patterson- takes because the HSP is coming up but he's heading outside. Bredeson- got spun inside which uses up Runyan and leaves free MLB. RPS-, OSU had this covered but still want Shea to keep
O5	3rd	Goal	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Pass	Crosser	DPJ	Inc
All day (Prot+2) and rifles it before safety has a chance to get there. DPJ just barely can't hang on. M settles for sad FG. (DO, 2, prot 3/3)

M22	2nd	10	Pistol Tight	1	2	2	4-2-5	7.5	Run	OZ	Haskins	10
Ruiz+ gets out and seals MLB, RPS- for free LB at point of attack, Haskins+3 just runs through him and DT who shed Bredeson-
M32	1st	10	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Run	Inside Zone	Haskins	-1
Zone read, pinch surprises Onwenu- RPS- so Ruiz can't get to MLB who makes the stop. Bredeson+.5 and Runyan+.5 made a nice gap.
M31	2nd	11	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Pass	Drag	Bell	17
Again OSU brings pressure opposite Young shift. Bell (route+) gets away with a tiny push at contact and Shea hits him in stride (DO, 2, prot 3/3)
M48	1st	10	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Play-action	TE Wheel	Eubanks	Inc
Eubanks one-on-one vs Werner, good coverage and on time, just can't pull it in. (CA, 2, prot 2/2)
M48	2nd	10	Pistol 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Play-action	Jackson Wheel	Patterson	-6
Jackson Jet motion, McKeon-2 loses Cooper and sack. Prot-2. Mayfield tried to help which freed late blitzer but not minusing that. Prot is always set to Chase Young. (PR, n/a, prot 1/3)
M42	3rd	16	Shotgun Trips	1	0	4	Rushmen	6	Pass	Four Verts	Bell	Inc
Late Double-A gap blitz picked up (Prot+) but Mayfield-1 misplays a stunt. Ball is perfect under pressure but Bell can't bring it in. Heartbreaking. (DO, 3, prot 2/3)

M26	2nd	10	Shotgun 3-Wide	1	1	3	Nickel	6	Pass	Slant	DPJ	Inc
Ruiz-2 fooled by delayed blitz so pressure up the gut. Patterson throws a wobbler off back foot but where DPJ should catch. Dropped. (CA, 2, prot 0/2)

Think it's an RPO check whether the FS is covering the fade. It's m2m so give. RPS+ bc OSU is scraping and overpursued backside w/ the rolled safety abandoning ship because he's freaking out  about the arc. Runyan+.5 and Bredeson+2 good kicks, Onwenu+ locks up backside DT so Ruiz- can pop MLB he doesn't control. That guy is in the gap but Haskins+2 stiff-arms and outruns Browning, a 5-star LB. DPJ+ downfield block extends.
O27	1st	10	Shotgun 3-wide	1	1	3	Nickel Over	7	RPO	Bubble/Pin & Pull	Haskins	9
DPJ Orbit Motion becomes a flare screen option, pulls S with him. P&P the other way. Bredeson+ kicks a bullet, Onwenu+.5 tough adjustment to MLB exhanging with DE McKeon is sealing. Free WLB hits at 2 yards (RPS-) and Haskins+2 spins through him for a decent gain
O18	2nd	1	Shotgun 3-wide	1	1	3	Nickel Over	6.5	Play-action	PA Power Read	Mckeon	Inc

O18	3rd	1	Shotgun Unbalanced	1	2	2	4-2-5 Even	8	Run	Arc Read Keeper	Patterson	1
Tempo. DPJ covered for reasons? Eubanks is on the other side and stays there. Patterson+ keeps and outruns Chase Young to the corner with Eubanks+ controlling bullet
O17	1st	10	Shotgun Flex 82	1	1	3	Nickel Over	7	Pass	Scissors	Haskins	Inc
Chase Young in a wide 9, splits 73 and 50. Too bad because Eubanks(route+) rubbed free on a wheel and has 3 steps for a TD on the other side. Patterson escapes an Intl Grounding (Refs+) because Haskins is sorta in the area. (PR, 0, prot 0/2)
O17	2nd	10	Shotgun Flex 82	1	2	2	4-2-5 Over	7.5	Pass	Smash	McKeon	15
Eubanks motions inward but it's a high-low on the backside w McKeon vs Browning on the corner and Haskins drawing the Bullet. Puts it in the Butzone (DO, 2, Prot 2/2)
O2	1st	Goal	Wildcat Tackle Over	2	2	2	Goal Line	9	Run	Fake P&P Counter Lead	Haskins	2

O3	2PC	Goal	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	4-2-5 Eagle	8.5	Pass	Z route	Collins	Inc (PEN+1.5)
75 whiffs on Chase Young and free blitzer is inside. Patterson tries to chuck over to wide open Collins(route+2) but it sails. Comes back because guy on Bell tackled him. (PR, 0, Prot 0/2, Runyan-, TEAM-)
O2	2PC	Goal	Wildcat 2-wide	2	2	2	Goal Line	9	Run	Down G	Haskins	2

RPS+2 they all bite. HSP is holding Eubanks like crazy the whole way, pass flies out of his reach because he couldn't accelerate. Hard to tell from this angle but Eubanks is probably trying to draw the flag and had a shot. Refs-1 (MA, 1, Prot 2/2)
M20	2nd	10	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel Even	6	Pass	Levels	McKeon	Inc
Young ruins Runyan, caught M w/ protection to Young's side. Chucks it OOB. (PR, 0, Prot 0/2)
M20	3rd	10	Shotgun 4-wide	1	0	4	Rushmen Eagle	6	Pass	Stop	Black	9
Black- needs to learn that orbit step every '90s Michigan fan knows from memory. Get some Erik Campbell up in here people wtf? Protection reset got everybody blocked. (CA, 3, Prot 3/3)
M29	4th	1	Wildcat 2-wide	2	2	2	4-2-5 Eagle	8	Run	Fake P&P Counter Lead	Haskins	-1
Can't get away with it twice. Haskins-2 has a FS gap but the play design is backside, where Mason+ went thump but Runyan- lost the HSP and the MLB is attacking. Flip to the slot would be all the yards here. Following your blocker would be a shot at comeback. RPS-2 you just showed this.

Wide 9s are a problem Shea needs to step up quicker here. QB coaching? He dances instead of getting rid of it to an open Bell who should be his primary read. (TAx, n/a, Prot 2/3, Mayfield-.5, Runyan-.5)
M26	2nd	20	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel Eagle	5.5	Pass	Levels	Charbonnet	Inc (Pen+10)
Patterson again no pocket presence. Chase Young speeds around Runyan but there's lots of space to step up instead he floats it to Charbonnet at the LOS. (TA, n/a, Prot 2/3, Runyan- but let's not pretend Chase Young in a wide 9 who's around clean at 7 yards is something anyone can handle alone. Not charting the catch bc it saves yards to drop it. Late shot by Landers gives M a free 1st down.
M40	1st	10	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel Even	5.5	Pass	Slant	DPJ	0
73 beat inside by slant, Peppers zings to DPJ in traffic, it gets raked out. Fuller takes a cheap shot at his head, clear targeting, called, changed on review Refs-fuck you. (CA, 2, Prot 2/3, Mayfield-)
M40	2nd	10	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel Eagle	5	Run	Run	Haskins	7
Zone Read, OSU is fine with runs right here. Runyan+ controls DT that Bredeson-1 leaves early to harass LB. Ruiz+ got an LB, Fuller who should be ejected makes the stop.
M47	3rd	3	Shotgun Trips	1	1	3	Nickel Over	7	Pass	Drag	DPJ	0
Throws it high but OSU S is jumping on his back. DPJ gets up pissed. (IN, 1, Prot 3/3, refs-2)
M47	4th	3	Shotgun 4-wide	1	0	4	Nickel Eagle	6	Pass	Crosser	Bell	0
Same thing but DPJ was open on the next read and protection was perfect. FML. (BR, 1, prot 3/3, refs-3 seriously this fuckwad is just glancing at it like who gives shit)
Drive Notes: Turnover on Downs, 27-49, 7 min 4th Q. Khaleke gives up the edge on the next drive and it's 27-58 and I can't take this anymore.

Are you writing an article for Hail to the Victors?

…

Why?

I needed data.

So..

….

Bolded are you there?

I am social distancing.

You can't get coronavirus; you don't have any cells to infect.

You don't know that. Nobody knows anything. For all we know this game created the virus.

I….omigod.

Right?

Right. Do you want any charts or anything?

No.

Heroes?

No. Seriously, fuck all the way off with this.

Did you want to see the end around again?

You covered that in Neck Sharpies.

There was a cool play-action they did off their Arc Read.

Yes they finally ran a new play-action off of the running play they've been trying to reestablish all year but couldn't because the quarterback got an oblique injury on the season's first play and wouldn't keep it more than once a game. Yipdeefuckindoo.

We usually do a drive summary?

Whatever.

• Three touchdown drives of 75, 75, and 60 yards
• Drives of 70 and 62 yards that ended on a fumble and a field goal in the red zone
• A 7-play drive of 20 yards extended by penalties.
• One four-and-out of 19 yards
• A 7-play drive of –1 yards(!) extended by penalties
• One three-and-out of –1 yard
• Two late drives that ended on downs that were kind of a ref show.

The total was 396 yards, 21 first downs on a lot of chances because Ohio State didn't bother to run any clock before pulling out your vital organs and stabbing the individual mitochondria therein. The offense could have kept up if it didn't punch itself in the face every so often. But that's part of the mitochondria these days.

Again I ask, WHY?

I'm here to get some specific information that I plan to use for grading the players and some data I discuss in HTTV. For that I'm going to need a…

What about the receivers? Aren't they the ones sticking around?

I thought you weren't.

Turns out I'm trapped in your head.

The drops, especially by Peoples-Jones, were extremely deflating because of where and when they occurred. So is life. Nico Collins couldn't remain at 80% on contested balls forever you know. It's just…why now?

Yes, WHY NOW?

Because I wanted to see how Mayfield held up against Young and Cooper over about half's worth of Ohio State getting to tee off on pass rush because the defense put them behind the 8 ball.

I'm not positive my grading matches up with Brian's but I know a –7.5 is a very not good. For reference, MSU's starting OL (left to right across the line) charted –8,–5,—13.5,—10.5,—17 against Ohio State last year in FFFF (yes –17 is the record). There's a reason Chase Young was still in the Heisman race even after skipping Rutgers and Maryland for admitting he took an agent's money when he was caught, and his presence puts everybody else in singled situations with a bunch of future pros. Sometimes he just wriggles too much and you've got to hold and hope.

That was a –2 in my grading with a corresponding refs+2 for missing it. It was also one of just two bad pass pro events from him in the first half against Young. In the second half Ohio State switched Chase to Runyan's side, and Michigan started giving Runyan tight end help and running back chips.

It was Cooper, after Ohio State got up big and could tee off on the pass rush, who was responsible for the bulk of Mayfield's bad score. That and this stunt he should have remembered from MSU practice:

Mayfield earned a –1 for that because I thought Onwenu should have given him a little more help, but 3rd and 16 with the DEs spread way outside like that means you have to worry about a rush off the edge first and a DT stunting inside you is just a thing you'll have to hope you can delay afterwards. Wide nine (as in 9-tech) DEs are a pain in the ass because they're pointed right at the quarterback and force you to open up the inside lanes to account for them. The best way to deal with them is get the ball out quickly. And don't get in 3rd & 16 when Chase Young's on the field.

So that was it? You wanted to see if Mayfield could swim in shark-infested waters?

Also the #SpeedInSpace. Gattis had a few good ones. We mentioned the end-around:

This was Michigan's base running play except with a surprise ballcarrier. It also featured 3-star from Massachusetts edging a guy playing Ohio State's new glamor position. It also set up the touchdown to DPJ I embedded above, when three DBs overreacted to the motion and forgot to stay disciplined over the middle.

The #SpeedInSpace threats were also part of why Ohio State failed to fit a simple Split Zone.

They have a season's worth of Arc Read film and are so determined to destroy it that the boundary safety is rolled all the way down and ready to swing across and catch whatever spills outside while the backside is running a gap exchange to get the WDE and WLB both attacking the spot the arc attacks (without letting the crossing TE loose against zone coverage).

Gattis got a rocky start to the season because he was leaning too heaving on Shea Patterson making reads and trusting his legs. Things—and this is the crux of my HTTV article—really took off when Gattis found ways to force multiply the plays Michigan was already good at. Pin & Pull was the base of the offense in the back half of the season, and this is a Pin & Pull against a man defense expecting pass with one less defender to worry about:

Also check out Nico Collins's block here.

This play was designed to get Chase Young an open invitation to speed rush only to blindside him with Eubanks motioning in. Young got himself under control—which: credit to that guy—and it still only delays Patterson from a decent gain that should have been a bigger one if he cut inside where the Pin & Pull is supposed to go.

Sometimes it's hard to know where the Gattis ends and Old Harbaugh begins. They ran the same play with a little tweak on the failed 4th & 1 conversion when Haskins didn't follow his blocker. Here's why he didn't earlier: this play fakes the Pin & Pull frontside but it's really just a lead Iso on the backside. Mayfield is supposed to look like he's going for an inside linebacker then turns to get the OLB, but the OLB and Chase Young are both so reactive to Michigan's base thing that they get sealed inside.

It was a rookie move to call it again so soon after. Gattis does still have that same tendency as my brother in Madden/NCAA to go right back to a play that just worked. The game plan was still one of the main reasons Michigan's offense was keeping pace with the demolition derby on the other side.

Heroes who are still with us?

Hassan Haskins, Ronnie Bell, Josh Gattis

Maybe not so heroic?

Mayfield was okay for a freshman. Let's wait till the bowl charts before talking about a 1st rounder next year.

What does it mean for 2020?

Don't get into a three-score hole to Ohio State. This was the best offensive line at Michigan since the late Moeller era and they still got pretty beat up, particularly on passing downs.

#SpeedInSpace worked. The scoring drives featured big plays opened up by motions that came with threats Michigan was willing to use.

Haskins is boss. Outrunning Baron Browning was . Tried him out at some fullback-like things too. Would be nice to have an Askew to pair with Charbonnet's Chris Perry.
