Defense vs. Illinois Every Snap video
Uploading to the MGoVideo YouTube channel has been disabled due to a copyright claim by the Michigan Marching Band for their Wizard of Oz halftime show video. I guess they didn't want 40,000 people to watch it embedded on MGoBlog and annarbor.com for some reason. I'll be uploading all new videos to my new channel:

Edit: There's some motion blur on this video that I didn't notice while editing. I'm going to try reconverting it before I edit the offense.

It's kinda crazy that in a game lasting over 4 hours, there was only 11:50 of actual playing time.
November 10th, 2010 at 11:43 PM ^
That's just defense, but still it is very interesting.
November 10th, 2010 at 9:00 PM ^
For some weird reason, I'm actually enjoying watching this.
6:27...is that hope? For the future? I'm struggling to believe this
November 10th, 2010 at 9:03 PM ^
a couple of bags of chips and a good easy chair for this one...
This may take a while... I'll let you know when I'm done.
EDIT: Done. Only had time for two beers. So, I'll watch it again.

A lot of really solid plays...
...and then a lot of really terrible plays
November 11th, 2010 at 2:10 AM ^
Ha...that about sums it up. All we can hope for is competence at this point. If we can "be good at one thing," like Brian said, and have guys at the very least in the right position to make a play, I'm happy. If they're in position and don't make the play, oh well, chalk it up to talent/inexperience/whatever. I'm looking forward to seeing how "multiple" we are with our fronts the rest of the season.

I liked how on just about every tackle I saw 3 or 4 jerseys in on the tackle. That second touchdown in overtime with the SAME play had me ripping my hair out watching it again.
November 10th, 2010 at 9:04 PM ^
to GO!! Michigan wins it!!!!
November 10th, 2010 at 9:13 PM ^
Ow, my balls. That was something.
November 10th, 2010 at 9:32 PM ^
Great work. What blows my mind is that the defense didn't look *that* bad this past weekend. Yeah, 45 points in regulation and 65 for the game are horrible, but they stopped Illinois with some regularity until later in the game, and even then some of those plays were just RPS+1 for the Illinois coaching staff. I'm cautiously optimistic that this defense is making strides, especially guys like Demens.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:21 AM ^
I was thinking the same thing while watching. What does it say about the recent trajectory of our defense if we watch it give up 45 points in regulation and think they looked pretty decent?!? Yet, I still think they looked pretty decent (by our standards, anyway).
November 11th, 2010 at 2:02 PM ^
Part of the reason is that they had to compensate for a -4 TO margin, which put them in tough situations. Plus, there were stops being made out there, unlike the PSU game when UM could not get off the field without giving up points. I'm not happy with 45 points, but considering the fact that Illinois had so many drives an average defense probably would have given up 30+ points. Faint praise, but there is some potential here.

Q makes a nice rip move around the 8:45 mark and gets some nice penetration. Need him to develop at that position something fierce.
November 10th, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
That is idiotic that they hassled you about showing their performance. It makes them look good. They were getting tremendous exposure from this blog.
November 10th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
November 10th, 2010 at 11:57 PM ^
TV shows get a lot of exposure from youtube but it doesn't stop them from taking those videos down. It's not about exposure, it's about property. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but it is the law. They probably just want to control how it's distributed, which I would want to do if I had rights to anything.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:03 AM ^
The other 362 videos I uploaded are somebody's else's property too. Seems a bit inconsistent to me when athletic department twitter accounts are following mgovideo, retweeting videos, posting links on their facebook page but the band can't even ask me to remove their video before they file a DMCA claim.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:32 PM ^
Yeah but we are all blue here. I mean keep it in the family. If you have a problem just say something.
Also does it say you cannot record their performances? I just have never heard of such a thing. A public University's marching band hitting someone with a copyright claim. I wonder if the same holds true for the team as well.
Oh well hafltime will now be spent getting something to eat or walking around.
November 10th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Considering the 5 turnovers and the great field position Illinois had all game, it gives me hope for this Saturday, assuming Michigan does not turn the ball over or give Purdue the ball on the 50 each possession.
November 10th, 2010 at 11:21 PM ^
Makes UFR sooo much better if you can watch every play read the play description and go back and watch the play again.
Makes ufr reading better and quicker than dealing with an entire game download or having no game and not knowing what's going on each play.
November 10th, 2010 at 11:41 PM ^
gave me the shivers again. Man, that game was crazy. Thanks for posting that. Looking forward to the offense side now

When I rewatched the game yesterday, I noticed that the ESPN "Impact Players" segment at the begining of the game mentioned #71 for Illinois, Jeff Allen . As I watched the game, I wanted to pay attention to their LT to see how well our players performed against their best lineman.
What I quickly realized is that #71 often switched sides... from LT to RT. Then I noticed that Illinois would run the ball 75% of the time to the side that #71 was on (on passing plays he would normally match up against RVB). I say 75% because I couldn't find him on every single snap on running plays, and also because Illinois got away from that a bit in the 2nd half. But dang... that first half I was calling almost every play depending on where he lined up (run right, run left).
Is this normal for Illinois? Did the Michigan defensive coaches ever pick up on this?
November 11th, 2010 at 11:36 AM ^
I'd bet on that they didn't pick it up

- Cam Gordon all over the field, keeping contain, decent tackling, drew a few holding calls (one actually flagged). Has found a new home. He was beastly coming around the end a few times. He will only get better at this position, IMO.
- Vinopal and Avery did well, but youth obvious. Tackling decent.
- Roh never plays LB again. Several hits on the QB, just missed a few sacks.
- Demens still seems to be in position more than his predecessor was.
- Rogers may have had his best game.
- RVB and MM are studs.
- Avery has potential to be a stud DB.
Sure we gave up 45 in regulation, but as others have said, many big plays when needed. I haven't read the UFR yet, but I'm guessing Cam scored well. I was tough on him before the move, but credit where credit is due...without his play we may have lost this game.
November 11th, 2010 at 9:12 AM ^
Thank you! Had friend who missed the game due to medical issue for family member and was able to watch the entire D in less than 12 minutes. He can't wait for the offense.
November 11th, 2010 at 11:16 AM ^
He is perfect at Spur. I didn't see him take a bad angle all day. Unlike FS, he has great speed for the position and is still able to hit like crazy. He can rush the passer and he has the speed and length to cover the flats. He will also knock a few balls loose. Did I mention he likes to hit? I'm gonna say All-B10 by Junior year.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:21 PM ^
LOL, You would have thought that ABC or Fox (BTN) would have hit you before the MEEEchigan Marching Band....lol.
As I said on the youtube channel you should challenge this. I am sure you could get them to retract the claim so you can get your profile back.
They could have at least contacted you and ask to take it off. Way to be all in MMB. Way to go outside of the family.
Now I wonder if the dumb major really does think he could get anyone into Michigan with his "connections" ....hmmmmm
