Michael Pettit @michael-pettit.bsky.social · 25/03/2025I feel like the CFB games on Fox have a more “zoomed out” view—it’s not full on all-22, but it’s much better than ESPN which frequently has an entire WR, CB, and/or Safety(ies) completely out of the picture lol 110
Michael Pettit @michael-pettit.bsky.social · 24/01/2025I feel like this particular call is usually better against zone schemes. Cool to see it work against a gap scheme here! 110

Reposted by Michael PettitCody Alexander @matchquarters.com · 28/12/2024Ohio State's Four-Down Three-High System vs. a Counter GY Jim Knowles is the king of hybrid defenses, & he proved that again in the 1st-round of the College Football Playoffs vs. Tennessee's uber-Spread offense. | www.matchquarters.com/p/ohio-state... — 151
Reposted by Michael PettitRossRFulton @rossrfulton.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Great explanation from @matchquarters.bsky.social of how Jim Knowles has married up a 4 down front with 3-hi concepts (also helps when you can play Downs as your middle S). Crazy that all this came about post Oregon 1 in mid-Oct. 272
Michael Pettit @michael-pettit.bsky.social · 26/12/2024And a late addition with the Mike green dogging! First time I’ve seen Knowles call Saw at Ohio State 010
Michael Pettit @michael-pettit.bsky.social · 26/12/2024I think the coverage call here was 3-buzz from 3-hi. Downs deservedly gets most of the attention but Ransom (boundary safety) is really good against the run as well 020
Michael Pettit @michael-pettit.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Wow I actually like that approach much better than peeling the DE’s! 110
Michael Pettit @michael-pettit.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Looks like hot coverage behind the blitz too 110
