Penn State vs Michigan, five things
Today’s show is based on the offensive and defensive scouting articles from earlier this week at Blue White Illustrated. We’ll pull critical information about how Michigan likes to operate and how Penn State can attack those processes on either side of the ball. Here’s an excerpt from that premium content.
The threat of the running game and Michigan’s mystique as a run-first team have opened up some explosive options in the passing game. Most of the Michigan offense is vertical-based. MCcarthy’s arm strength and velocity on the ball come in handy in this over-the-top passing scheme. His average depth of target is 10.6 yards downfield, which is third in the Big Ten. While McCarthy isn’t chucking the ball deep as much as other quarterbacks, he’s shockingly far ahead in completion percentage.

Lions offensive line presents a new challenge for Michigan
The Penn State offensive line will be one of Michigan’s best this year.
While the run-blocking grade doesn’t consider the scheme, situation, or any other context, it’s a broad gauge to show that this is the best offensive line that Michigan has faced this year. It’s also true to point out that Michigan has seen 224 run snaps in 2023. That’s the third-fewest among Big Ten teams.
