How did Michigan lose to Iowa? Former Michigan captains Jake Butt and Devin Gardner break down a devastating loss to the Hawkeyes, decided on a back-shoulder touchdown with two seconds left. Michigan outgained Iowa 429 yards of total offense, won the ground game 153-58, and got the best game of Bryce Underwood's young career.
So what went wrong?
Devin charted every pass play Coach Beck called (31 of them) and shows how the game plan is setting Bryce up to succeed: half-field reads, sprint outs, and a "get in the fight" pocket touchdown.
Jake goes to the film on the run game, including the hat-for-hat blocking that finally sprang Jordan Marshall, the red-zone interception, and a D-line hold that went uncalled.
THE BLUE PRINT is your home for the best conversation around the Michigan Wolverines, hosted by former Michigan captains Jake Butt and Devin Gardner.
