Rutgers is running power read better than most teams. Not seeing it as much as you used to. Here’s a 4X0 unbalanced power read reading the 4. pic.twitter.com/zUMk1UWbAv

Rutgers went to power read with and without motion. Here they hit a red zone PA off that same look. #2 runs a post at the $ and the motion man runs a wheel. #1 runs a stalk and release. Got Michigan in a field pressure, which helped the success of the play. pic.twitter.com/j1fdCnV3jB
