Ian Boyd from Football Study Hall writes about “Stopping players, not formations: The next shift in defensive strategy” (LINK).

The 2019 Reese’s Senior Bowl took place yesterday, which the North won by a score of 34-24 over the South. Karan Higdon was the only Michigan participant in the game (Chase Winovich missed due to injury). There was a lot of talk during the week that Higdon impressed in practice, particularly in the passing game, but he went without a catch and carried the ball 5 times for just 18 yards. Here’s the recap (LINK) and the box score (LINK).
