Michigan Film Analysis || Episode 2.2 || Defensive Negatives vs. Michigan State

There are 3 stat lines to look at from the box score to properly tell the story of the Michigan Wolverine defense against the Spartans: Rocky Lombardi - 17/32 for 323 yards, 3 TDs to 0 INTs Ricky White - 8 receptions for 196 yards and 1 TD 10 penalties for 86 yards Almost half of Lombardi’s completions went to the true freshman Ricky White, as he was matched up against Gray / Perry pretty much the entire game. It did not go well. If it wasn’t the corners getting beat, there were a myriad of penalties that didn’t help, either. Whether it was one of the 4 defensive holding or defensive pass interference or the multiple offsides penalties, the defense assisted in giving Michigan State an easy out on 3rd downs, consistently.
