Top recruits share keys to Michigan football upset Oregon

Michigan football will welcome Oregon to the Big House for the first time since 2007 and as a Big Ten foe. The top-seeded Ducks are currently double-digit favorites over the Wolverines, and Michigan will need to do its best to win the game. Michigan hopes to have Will Johnson back for the game against Oregon. The Ducks throw the ball as well as anyone, and the Wolverines can pull out all the stops on Saturday to pull off this upset.

I asked some Michigan commits and targets what the key was for the Wolverines to pull off the big upset.

“I’m definitely riding Michigan. I think that’s going to be the key if the passing game keeps going. Our DB has to stay connected to not allow any receptions.”

“I have a 28-31 W, I run a lot.”

“A clean game must be played in defense and attack.”

“Throw the ball.”

“Take advantage of turnovers, maintain momentum and don’t give up on big plays.”

“Michigan all day! Big House always brings energy. They just need to play together and execute the game plan in all three phases!”

“It’s going to be a tough game. We can’t have turnovers and we’re going to have to convert 3rd downs. Stay disciplined and get the ball to the guns. Loveland is going to have to get open and then give him the ball. He’s a monster.”

“No turnovers and I control the clock.”

“I think they need to control the clock and not take too many thirds and long positions. They need to dominate on the defensive end, especially up front.”

“Stop passing plays and complete a few passes on offense to let Oregon know they can move the ball by passing as well as running.”

“It’s a tough job. I would just suggest they start their offense early because their defense will do the rest.”

“I think Michigan needs to use ball control to win. Michigan is a very good running team, if they can block and control the line of scrimmage I think they have a legitimate shot.”

“It all starts with protecting the football on offense. Defensively, stopping the run and establishing clear communication and clearly tracking the LB’s play through key reads as Oregon likes to use a lot of movement and orbital movement to take advantage and provide help inside.” Clear creases in the area These over-under banjo coverage settings down and clear will help keep everything up front.

“I think Michigan’s defense is one that NO team would want to face like a perfect storm. (Dillon) Gabriel is a gunslinger and wants to get the ball into tight spaces, Coach Wink can take advantage of that and set traps on key shots. Oregon is a team that will buck the trend, so that’s it.” always on 3rd and it won’t be long. Fly to the ball and force turnovers and stack those shots on Gabriel, making it hard to hit those shots with your core bruised, but even forcing him out of a dirty pocket or out of the platform depends on the DB’s techniques. His confidence and staying disciplined will bring great opportunities!

“I like the boys to bring it up and make it a dirty physical game. Michigan getting a big win at home and winning the turnover battle and throwing Dillon some possessions they haven’t seen before, leading to key turnovers turning field position over.”

Michigan 24-21

“I think they need to dribble the ball and hold the ball. If they can score in most possessions, I think they have a great chance to keep the ball tight. Then hopefully they’ll steal the play at the end of the game.”
