Matchup Breakdown: Michigan vs. Texas Tech

The difference in defensive philosophies between the two teams is pretty neat.

I am a little concerned that basically all of our players (Iggy, Matthews, Poole) that will be baited into those baseline drives are guys that aren’t great passers. Hopefully Simpson has at least some success finding the middle and breaking the defense down from there.

At the end of the day my faith lies in the fact that Beilein should be able to put our guys in better position to score offensively than Beard does with his guys.

This is one of the things I’ve loved about our defense. With (mostly) attention to scouting reports our digs and helps really attack the ball and that’s where we get turnovers (in addition to long possession positioning). Trying to take the ball from the man you are guarding is such a risk, that often doesn’t pay off. Our secondary d has been great (#thehelpnevergetsbeat)
