....... and it continues. If there is anyone who doesn't think Colorado is trolling M and that trolling won't end up answered and as bulletin board material for M, think again.

Also interesting ..........
This is a link to a piece done by a Colorado fan who is a follower of Bill Connely's Advanced Stats metric which is used to predict wins/losses v. the 2016 schedule and total 2016 wins/losses.
First Colorado is a spread to run, up tempo offense. Against non-serious competition, they look good in efficiency measures per play (i.e., does the play do what it is designed to do) but not in explosiveness (generate big plays). IOW, they move the chains.
The analyst doing this piece offers that the offensive strategy is to make 3rd down manageable which, in turn, opens the play book. If first and second down plays don't achieve this objective, that's not good.
How would you and Don Brown use this information? IMO, first down defense is critical. Force the offense into the likelihood that the second down play isn't going to achieve the desired objective. Blitz on first down or play a standard D and see if the M DL can beat the OL and disrupt the play.
I'd go with the second option on the grounds that M wins the match-up battle in a standard D against the Buffalo's run blocking OL (M's DL wins) and passing game (M's Back 7 wins). Using the first option, IMO, opens up opportunities for big plays - something Colorado doesn't do much of even against poor competition.
Make third down predictable and then Blitz trying to force turnovers.

Yeah, I agree. Jeff's game-week posts are excellent and detail-rich and always required reading, but, also, LOL. I loved how, in the Hoke years, Jeff seemed to cope by continuing to obsessively read up pre-game but also by regularly declaring his intent to pull back from his emotional investment and time commitment to Michigan football. This is what it means to fight the good fight, I guess?

That seems more like comedy and having fun than bulletin board material.

In this case comedy = trolling, like looking for a rise. It is poking fun but my sense is that this particular team and Jim Harbaugh himself don't really joke around. Fairly serious about what they do. i.e., we'll see how funny Colrado thinks this is when the hitting starts.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.
