Preview #4: Michigan and science of explosive plays

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Despite going down to Ohio State as the favorite last season, Michigan lost a heart breaking 62-39 game.

I explore the hidden side of the game based on modern football analytics. In particular, I look at study by Bill Connelly, now of ESPN, on explosive plays.

Then I project whether Michigan can catch Ohio State in 2019.
