 Film review of the 2nd through 4th quarter of the Maryland at Michigan football game in the 2022 season. Bit of good offense and defense here. Maryland wants the rail route, it’s taken away. Nice job moving to the comeback route pic.twitter.com/On1RgJCtw1 — Space Coyote (@SpaceCoyoteBDS) October 4, 2022

 In a Twitter thread, I provide my thoughts on the current state of the Iowa Offense in the 2022 season Hi Everybody! Here's my semi-annual defense of the Ferentz offensive system! pic.twitter.com/obvXTgMiFy — Space Coyote (@SpaceCoyoteBDS) October 4, 2022 The Offense Today The system itself is still sound, in the year 2022. While the Ferentz way of running outside zone differs a bit from others, you see outside zone (OZ) based systems proliferating throughout the NFL with the Rams, 49ers, and Packers (though, we should note, those systems are starting to use more gap schemes too).  The boot action, the flood concepts, the vertical shots off the run action, all of that is still, in this day, great. With the shift to a lot of man/zone match principles on defense, this sort of run pass conflict and threatening both sides of the formation is very hard to defend.
