overreaction maybe?

overreaction maybe?

 I read parts of your blog, and if im being "irrational" by questioning how much they pressed the wideouts the second half, then I apologize, I truely do.

 After reading your blog, i also found that youd be watching the tape again. I don't know what you'll be looking for, but maybe a tally comparing how much they pressed by half?

 furthermore, i never questioned how much they blitzed, im questioning why so soft on the outside? Nor did I question linebacker play. 

 Get some rest coach, only a few more days and you'll have another game to critique.

 Same team simmons, same team!

 Big House in 6 days!

they definitely started running more man to man in the second half. i was pretty sloshed the entire time, but they adjusted at halftime.

 

explain how the first half wasn't as bad as we're thinking. we were definitely playing "bend don't break" ball. how many yards in the first half compared to the second half?

Michigan defense

Why did we wait until the second half to switch our defense? We were running a very soft zone the entire first half, which left the flats WIDE OPEN. Any pass 7 yards or shorter was a free play. Our corners were playing 9 yards off for the zone.

We finally fixed it the second defensive series of the second half, and the entire complextion of the game changed. Ezeh got that pick (he was still in zone on that tipped ball) because they started jamming the wideouts.

Defensive ends. Our defensive ends were taking VERY wide paths the first half. The second half we started to just push the tackles in to shrink that pocket. FINALLY.

First Downs. Did anyone else notice how many people Utah kept in the box on first downs?! Always at least 7. For the love of god, throw the ball downfield on a first down!
