PrintYou really can't give enough praise to MGoVideo for putting these clips together. Not only are they a lot of fun to watch, they're really, really informative. It's worth noting that UConn really gashed through on the left side of their offensive line. I'm still rewatching this to figure out whether they were targeting a particular player or whether they were just going to their strongest side of the line. My gut after watching this is they were playing to their own strength, but I reserve the right to correct this.
Also worth noting, there were a lot of missed tackles by Cameron Gordon but he was always in position and if he missed something, he led the back or receiver back into the waiting arms of another defender. Thomas Gordon looked okay at Spur when Carvin Johnson went out. J.T. Floyd and James Rogers looked pretty darn good in limited opportunities. I thought Floyd was one of Michigan's better defenders against UConn, his athleticism is on full display in these clips.
Take a look and give me your thoughts. A more detailed wrap-up of the defense and offense to come. But for now, revel in good showing from our defense.

FWIW
I watched the MLB spot for every snap. Obi looks somewhat better than last year. He’s much more aggressive for sure, and makes some solid plays and solid tackles. Sometimes looks confused in coverage tho (bumping into teammates multiple times) and had one particular series where he always seem to pick the wrong hole to attack.
Definitely better than Moundros tho, and nice to see him going after it a bit.
great observations
I think you’re right in your analysis. I’ve spent the last few watches checking which side that UConn was running against for any kind of pattern of attack relative to Michigan’s personnel packages, with limited success.
The thing I’m worried about is that Ezeh started off strong last season and regressed. Hopefully that won’t be an issue this season. /crosses fingers/

I think both Moundros and Ezeh overran some plays
but I thought Moundros did a bettter job of taking on blockers, where as Obi played faster and was in on the tackles. I would love to see both Moundros and Ezeh in on goalline sets, bumping Kovacks out. JMO though.
