The Michigan Wolverines moved to 6-0 after beating the Golden Gophers so badly that assistant groundskeeper Carl Spackler was envious. It was routine dominance and business as usual against an overmatched Minnesota team, but this particular game stood out because Michigan is expanding its playbook on both sides of the ball.
Offensively, the Wolverines ran over 12 different rushing schemes and only ran their bread-and-butter duo play twice. Furthermore, the passing attack featured several new wrinkles, most of which served as a counter to a defense’s counter to an older iteration of a similar play.
