| 0:00.0 | Let's get back to it. Michigan offensive breakdown. Sam Webb, Al Borgias here on the Michigan |
| 0:04.7 | Insider on the big 1050 WTK. There on lies the other question because a lot of what you guys do |
| 0:11.0 | as play callers, you got to have foresight. Okay, you've had some success. What are teams going to try to do |
| 0:16.8 | to limit me now? Now they see my quarterback can run. |
| 0:21.7 | He's a threat. |
| 0:22.7 | They see he's a scrambler. |
| 0:24.4 | They see we're going to call quarterback runs, |
| 0:26.2 | and we run it all with him. |
| 0:27.9 | We run QB power. |
| 0:29.8 | We run QB crack sweep. |
| 0:32.5 | We run QB stretch. |
| 0:34.1 | I mean, we got the menu. |

So how do we stop that? |
| 1:45.3 | Okay, well, we stop RPO's the best way is to lock them up and play some man-a-man. Oh, wait a minute. Don't do that too fast. Now, remember that quarterback can run. Right. We get caught with a backs turn to that guy. He's going to run 37 yards for touchdown. So the next thing, okay, we're going to play man-to-man. And let's play with what we call a rat player. |
| 1:44.6 | And those who don't know the rat is, that means one extra guy in there |
| 1:48.5 | to do, to handle the quarterback scramble and any shallow crosses or option routes inside the box. |
