UFR GLOSSARY is here. FORMATION NOTES: Bone! Michigan's front is what I call "Split" which is not to be confused with "Split!" where the NT is on the other side of the center, or "Splits" where both DEs are well wide of the DTs. MSU also had some super-wide Walt Bell Memorial splits. If you see "Bell" in the nomenclature it means the WRs are all beyond the numbers. It signifies a team has given up all hope of offense and has hired or is ready to hire Walt Bell. SUBSTITUTION NOTES: The usual rotation with an increase in backup cornerbacks and McBurrows in the "competitive" portion of the game, with Amorion Walker in for a good third of the game and plenty of DJ Waller. German Green was only on for the last two plays/drives. Jimmy Rolder returned from injury and was the fourth LB. Keon Sabb was limited to just 7 snaps as Rod Moore played most of the game; Zeke Berry returned for late snaps. [After THE JUMP: Having their number isn�

10/21/2023 – Michigan 49, Michigan State 0 – 8-0, 5-0 Big Ten Somewhere in this country there is a person making approximately minimum wage who is tasked with finding benign videos to put on scoreboards across the country. It is a hideously dull job and he or she spends most of their time at work staring blankly at a screen, half focused. When something useful shows up, it's bookmarked and put in a bin. This person is not watching question #28 in a 40-question quiz that takes 16 minutes to get through. After the second question is "what are crayons made of" they put it in the Michigan State bin on the off chance it convinces Spartans to draw with the things instead of eating them . Then they spend 15 minutes playing solitaire. Some weeks or months later, a jaunty Hitler shows up on the Spartan Stadium scoreboard next to an ad for Meijer. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
UFR GLOSSARY is here. FORMATION NOTES: For personnel counting purposes I treated Jaylin Lucas as WR unless he was the lone back and called him the A-back for labeling purposes. Once again parentheticals are covered receivers, e.g. Gun 2RB Twins (Y). This also got orbit motion from Lucas but the motion tags were making the tables look awful so "A-orbit" is in the description. I called this formation "Empty 4x1 Flex." I called Michigan's front "Nk Eagle." Also Michigan is playing a safety at Durkin depth for some reason. I put an asterisk next to the "1" in the "Hi" field when that happened.

10/14/2023 – Michigan 52, Indiana 7 – 7-0, 4-0 Big Ten Another week, another slight update to the bolded line you see immediately above. Increment the date, barely adjust the score, this time I got to leave Michigan's entirely alone and subtract three points from Opponent's line increment the wins but not the losses. I am aware that this bit of the column has been fairly boring this year, but I can't wax rhapsodic about Yet Another Game Against Opponent. It is not possible. I already used the "lol cut and paste" column conceit this year. in week two. The only deviation from the overall narrative of the season was the placement of Michigan's two unsuccessful drives and Opponent's two successful ones. All of those came right at the start, so there was a momentary flicker of… not exactly doubt. Something more than annoyance. Peevishness. Yes, folks, I was peeved. Then barely more than a quarter later it was 35-7 and I was invested in two things:
