"I think maybe it's an oversimplification," Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss said.
Oluwatimi, tackles Hayes and Karsen Barnhart, and guards Zak Zinter and Trevor Keegan average 308 pounds, but what makes them different from even the best Big 12 lines is they also are long and rangy.Offensive line coach Sherrone Moore is also Michigan's co-offensive coordinator now, handling play-calling duties with Weiss.
The 3-3-5 defense TCU plays was born as a counter-measure to spread offenses that proliferated college football -- especially the Big 12 -- in the 2000s and 2010s. But if TCU wants to stick with its usual five defensive backs against Michigan, those players are going to be forced to get physical in ways they typically haven't faced this season."They look like NFL safeties and DBs," Weiss said of the TCU secondary."They fly up there, they tackle, they're physical, they're really good tacklers and they're fast. That erases a lot of those problems.
