In this video, see how the Michigan Wolverine football defense, under Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale, gameplanned and adjusted vs. Ryan Day's Ohio State Buckeye offense, in a game without HC Jim Harbaugh at the helm due to suspension. We'll see how they wanted to use split-safety coverages to get extra help over the top of star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and QB Kyle McCord, and how they employed alignments, stunts, and techniques to defend the run game out of those coverages. Then, we'll look at how Ohio State was able to attack those coverages, leading the two teams into a chess match as they each tried to disguise they're intentions and catch the other team in unfavorable looks, culminating in Rod Moore's final interception to secure the victory. This set up a trip to the Big-10 Championship, and eventually a College Football Playoff matchup between Michigan and Alabama, which Michigan won, sending them on to the College Football National Championship vs. Washington.
