Michigan cornerbacks coach Mike Zordich said the Michigan defense scheme is “business as usual for sure”, which means man to man defense will be at the forefront. As it should be.
Michigan’s defense was lights out for much of the season, turning in dominating performances against Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Penn State, allowing just 27 points during that stretch.
But the last two games of the season didn’t end in dominating fashion for Michigan, they lost to Ohio State 62-39, and to Florida 41-15.
Safeties coach Chris Partridge has said those losses have made him coach harder than he has ever coached before and that he’s going to make sure the scoreboard in Columbus doesn’t look the way it did in November ever again.
