Blitzology: Lighting Up the Offense with a Read Twist

This is one reason why it's tough to tell from game film what's supposed to happen on each play. On a Torch stunt, the tackles are reading the center's block and deciding which DT should pinch and which one should loop.

Rivals: Nation's top 25 recruiters

Jarah Mariano

There are 10 coaches on 120 different staffs, so that's a lot of coaches throughout the NCAA . . . and Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison is right near the top.  He's also Rivals' best recruiter in the Big Ten, and running backs coach Fred Jackson earned honorable mention.

Programming note

I have received a promotion on the football staff at my high school, which will see my hours of film study, game planning, etc. increase over the next few months. The 2010 Season Countdown series will continue until the beginning of the regular season, but I'm unsure how much content I'll be able to produce during the season.

I'm excited about the promotion, and I'm looking forward to the season. Practices have already begun, and I'm itching to see the kids with pads. But I am slightly disappointed, because I probably won't have time to watch many of Michigan's games this fall. The lack of the Big Ten Network in my area will even prevent me from taping some of the games. Obviously, I'm a big Michigan fan, but this fall is going to be even more difficult than normal to stay up to speed with Michigan football.

Go blue!
