Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale's Michigan Defense vs. Ryan Day's Ohio State Offense

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

On the first run play, that is number 5, Josiah Stewart on the edge. He's small for an edge, only 6"1 and he is stoning 6'8", 325 pound Donovan Jackson as he pulls. That's Michigan's strength and conditioning program in action.

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

@22:00 When Sainristil absolutely annihilated Henderson on that play I jumped up and spilled my drink. I didn't care I had to clean up the carpet, that play made it worth it. And Sainristil's reaction after the hit says it all.

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

@28:40 Look at that massive hold on Mason Graham right to McCord's left. That Buckeye O Line was holding on for dear life.

[@TheCoordinatorProject]

Yeah, bad rep all around for the left side on the twist pickup. When the DE comes down inside the LT follows to deliver him to the Guard and pick up that DT working to the edge, but he steps on the Guard's foot, causing him and the Center to trip over each other.

[@mkwy8782]

Excellent breakdown! What is really interesting, especially on that last game-ending play, is how egregiously the OL was beaten and more egregiously how much they held-and there were no flags. OMG.

[@grbggaming6885]

Man this breakdown is incredible. Would love to see one on the National Championship game. Thank you for this! So much interesting knowledge and you really get to see how disciplined they are, and how they rarely make mistakes or failing to wrap up. Mike M, and now Jesse Minter are brilliant young minds. Can't leave out Clinkscale either. Really their whole staff is working cohesively and just performing at such a high level.

[@Truewooper]

Excellent video as always.

[@TheCoordinatorProject]

Thanks!

[@americanfilipino8847]

2 things happen on that deep catch by MHJ. 1) what a smart play by Will Johnson to drag MHJ down to prevent an easy score. 2) what an unbelievable catch by MHJ 😳!

[@TheCoordinatorProject]

For sure on both! Michigan's DE's were also key in collapsing the pocket and forcing McCord to step up, where he had to hurry the throw as the DT's closed in on him. Because of that he was rushed and underthrew it while also leading Harrison to the inside, giving the CB an angle. A better throw on the outside here and it's a lot harder for that CB to get him down.

[@ThinkingFootball]

Excellent as always

[@IamNexu]

Great game. Well coached and well played.

[@chacob3380]

Really interesting analysis - thanks for the great work

[@dfrank777]

You are great! Thanks for the video. So good.

[@DSTRAZ98]

Great video. Would love one on Tim Beck from New Mexico State. (Won a D2 national title and NSMU had one of the most efficent offenses in the country and beat Auburn with 2 stars)

[@jameshoops10]

23:40 if the db doesn’t tackle mhj before the ball gets there, he scores a td & changes the whole landscape of the game

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

That is a play where you're happy the DB takes the PI. It's just MHJ is such an alien he also catches the ball.

[@jameshoops10]

@@Jon.A.Scholt lol seriously

[@danielchavira9968]

Yeah the score would of been 31-27 in our final drive where we would of had to play aggressive to score a game winner instead of milking the clock.

[@seasidejoe9037]

This is like Bill Nye for explaining football strategy

[@Bwilliams2]

Those who cried “Michigan won because they cheated” aren’t giving the Osu coaches credit for being smart enough to change their signs.

[@oursport5889]

Lunch money stolen at 22:01. 😂

[@jayingle2407]

Yeah 6.1 by Michigan they weren't allowed to cheat this time

[@HyzersGR]

Yeah that and the fact that this year the OSU DC didn't run his YOLO scheme by sending the house every play leaving his poor DBs on islands.
