All right time now for game changing connection presented by AT&T we’re going to look at a couple of plays that sealed the deal for Washington and Michigan in their respective semi-finals and guys let’s start with the heart and soul of this run game this time it’s Blake corm

Out of the back field though Blake corm out of the back field right here great design man coverage slipping him out right there linebackers having a trouble of communicating through all this traffic look at this play design the Falcons we ran this in the Super Bowl right here in the same stadium against

The New England Patriots in 2017 we want to talk about that game too much but still great play design getting your playmaker the football this offense is designed around Blake corm how he eats is how the offense eats this guy is a dynamic Force yeah and and they do a

Great job of Shifting and then motioning and then Blake corm that was just one of two catches that he had in the game sir this was a huge fourth and two for Michigan to win the game Blake cor this was a 27 yd catch and run the last time

He had a catch of even 20 yards or less was weak two that was the most yards that he had as a pass catcher coming out of the back field and that’s credit to Chiron Mo understanding let me get the ball to my most clutched player in the

Most clutch situation and by the way you got Wilson that you’re right you’re right hey Roman Wilson’s better than that but still you know shiron Moore he’s thinking players not plays and he’s trying to make sure that he designs his plays to make sure that Blake km is

Involved in that run game in that pass game as well speaking of clutch how about Wilson clutch Matt check this play out by him play action right here to Blake corm low Red Zone stop the run if you’re playing against Michigan not so fast my friend as one of our friends

Says here at ESPN Roman Wilson out of the backfield on a z sneak Harry Douglas scored a lot of touchdowns in the NFL off of this exact play how big is it going to be for Michigan for him specifically to show up tonight oh man I

Mean he he has to make impactful plays in this passing game he had a lot of opportunities against this Alabama defense and fortunately Alabama was created enough pressure on the quarterback to really take away some of those big plays there were multiple plays in that game where Michigan’s

Going to look back and say we really should have be in Alabama by 21 points yeah that’s what they were saying after the game they were really stronger and faster and they out coached Alabama which is why Michigan feels good coming into this game that’s right so that’s

The offensive side for Michigan it’s been well documented by this point Michigan’s got the best defense at least scoring wise in the entire country uh and Jaylen milro got a heaping spoonful of the Blitz from Michigan out in Pasadena what impressed you most about the Blitz for Michigan and how they were

Able to penetrate and get pressure well we saw we were on the field before the game the size of this defensive line the size of the linebacking core their ability to collapse the pocket consistently around Jaylen milro there was no throwing Lanes it was very difficult for him to dissect what was

Happening on the back end against that Michigan defense I expect that again here tonight Mason Graham phenomenal football player Chris Jenkins his domination at the line of scrimmage you see Grant right there 350 lb defensive tackle right there lot of big bodies there to move especially in crucial run

Situations and they can also get after the passer in one-on-one situations as well you know the thing that Michigan did was confuse Jayla milro a lot so you need to understand coming into this game you probably won’t confuse Michael penx as much but what I’m going to do if I’m

Michigan I’m going to try and uh show him cover three but we’re really in cover two show him man but we’re really in zone as much as possible and then bring those pressure from the interior because Washington has great tackles but the interior is a spot where you want to

Attack them however the fact that they have so many skilled wide receivers allows them to be in Max protection have six seven guys which is why Dylan Johnson plays such a huge role in pass protection great pass protector that we have talked about this plenty of times

Right I mean we’re talking about the tackles here but Derek Moore Brandon McGregor that match up on the outside can’t wait to see that one as well all right let’s talk about who you have said is one of the best throwers that you have ever seen in the college game and

Michael penck shter I mean he carved up this Texas secondary this is what I love about Michael penck his throwing is off the charts good man he is the best college football thrower in the history of the game it’s and he’s a lefty my friend so shout out to my brother and

All those other strange lefties out there because he can sling it the other thing too the belief that he has in his receiving core right the ability to give him those one-on-one opportunities his movement in the pocket it’s like Joe burrow but he can throw it like Marino

He can throw it like Elway he’s tough as hell and he does great job of creating when things aren’t there that’s a big compliment uh because I saw your your father big Phil say he’s literally the best door that he’s ever seen and one of the critiques for penic coming into this

Season is that he’s not throwing his wide receivers open well guess what y’all this season he’s throwing his wide receivers wide open and they can be covered we saw that against Texas and it doesn’t matter if you have a Dun covered penx has the ability to throw the ball

In an area that his wide receiver can get it and the thing about the Michigan DBS that I’ll give them credit Over Texas is though more more than likely be able to play through the ball more than Texas did it’s going to be such a fun matchup to watch it’s going to be

Awesome I mean you got strength versus strength in the championship game you can’t really ask for much more than that Michael penx Jr is certainly going to play a huge part of that those were some of the key connections to get both of these teams to the national championship

Game it is going to be exciting that’s for Sure I can breath
