I break down interesting plays - schematically, technically, and from an execution standpoint - from the 2021 Washington at Michigan football game.
Here's what Washington is runninghttps://t.co/uAsO36yI0Q

Down a gap up front but you see a trend forming for the day that Washington’s interior wants none of their battles vs the UM DL pic.twitter.com/czPa4odkvb

Two things I love here

- Front side combo mashes
- Post snap path adjustment by the wrapper pic.twitter.com/XUiKESUczL
Trying to break tendency by running Counter OH back to the H, but the H busts. But like I said the other day, when everyone else mashes, RB can make one guy miss and then a big play pic.twitter.com/bXUFq59TJa

Smart design to run your swing screen with WR in the backfield, but have to adjust to the wide standup end who can easily peel here pic.twitter.com/gHYYI0fMbk

WR needs to do better to stack the CB, but i like the throw and don’t mind the decision. But, recognizing man, the match up you have is RB vs LB and cleared out space. Probably shouldn’t make this throw unless under pressure or he has separation, not just a win over the top pic.twitter.com/EtpSnLr8NS

Finishing your locking assignments and RB being patient to help his blockers pic.twitter.com/t5gwOds53W

You want QBs to take hints pre snap but then process post snap. Here, we have a predetermined read because the LB shuffles to push motion and QB determines swing is the move pic.twitter.com/Wt22PKPMMS

I think this is a single back Power adjustment but turns into Long trap either way. Run game diversity is back at Michigan and I’m loving it pic.twitter.com/qWBZVlrwNo

Good LB play, but man, this OL is in rough shape pic.twitter.com/eWY8Nwnbcn

Not a bad end around design but this OL ain’t gonna cut it pic.twitter.com/Hi53BBG1W6

Really nice job by the DBs defending Duo, something Michigan has really struggled with the last few years pic.twitter.com/efI2lwHVSv

This is called ROBOT (roll over and back) from the 2nd level. Trap pass, tough to defend. Technique minimizes YAC and almost gets back into the throw window pic.twitter.com/mybePQ3PPa

Michigan running counter OH behind jet motion. Blocked to the safety, should be explosive pic.twitter.com/TrXbQ2ZiwI

Hard PAP. Protection breaks down but good look. Mixing up personnel in similar formations to dictate matchups and personnel pic.twitter.com/srTYwxDdGP

Why I don’t like pulling plays near the goal line. One guy one the front side submarined and the timing gets all messed up pic.twitter.com/vF2KX6jD3h

Ball snapped early and play never develops pic.twitter.com/A1Ym3HGVfW

Here’s an example of why teams like to pull near the goal line. FB makes his block and this pile of bodies lurches into the end zone pic.twitter.com/ZLBFAA1yL8

If you’re wrong arming you better come with mean intentions or you’ll get met with them pic.twitter.com/Di5FPL1nhf

Not bad position for the young safety but have to get back in phase in man coverage before you start looking back, otherwise you leave a window you’re better at closing by watching the hands pic.twitter.com/znFeRkXEsA

Last D play I’m looking at. Good clip of Cover 1 rat with a safety at LB level playing the rat pic.twitter.com/3zcGl69Rls

Weakside zone turns to insert zone and it’s a big gain if the RT can lock out the end pic.twitter.com/Qrr8HxeFW1

Being able to use TEs in a variety of positions manipulates the box numbers and assignments and creates busts. Big gain on a play they’ve run a dozen times pic.twitter.com/09CyFkLFRN

Better players beat better scheme. Michigan falls into the trap and still gets the 1st down pic.twitter.com/seOb68dnr3

Wrap pulling much easier on GL than kick pulling for exactly this reason.

Michigan tries the hand back play. Washington defends it pretty well mostly because the END works off the butt of the puller. But I love the design pic.twitter.com/zYCFkDVTO5

Not sure they blocked this right once last week vs single high. This time it’s perfect and it’s a big gain. Week to week improvements pic.twitter.com/5Pt8RFQMwC
