Eight down, four to go as we are two-thirds of the way through the season. How did the units grade out against the Wolverines? Let us know how you feel about the defensive performance with our poll and in the comments below.
Same format as we break down the defensive performance at each of the three levels organized by alignment, assignment, and technique. The players listed in each group are in order of how noticeable they were to me, but potentially not every player who saw action.
Defensive Line: D+ (Davis, Joseph-Day, Turner, Wilkins, Bateky, Turay, Nash, Lumor, Previlon)
Alignment: Rutgers played mostly 40 fronts or when they did put more men on the line, Michigan often had fullbacks and tight ends seemingly everywhere themselves.
