The Michigan Wolverines executed their game plan to perfection against Alabama in the Rose Bowl. Through a combination of innovation and old favorites, Michigan was able to impose its will against the Tide and overcome a few miscues to punch its ticket to the College Football Playoff National Championship.
In this week’s film study, so much jumped off the screen. Offensively, the Wolverines motioned and shifted on almost every play to create misdirection and leverage advantages. Defensively, Michigan constantly rolled into different coverages at the snap and used an array of blitzes and pressures from stunts and twists in the front seven to create chaos.
