Great blog.
If we were to run some sort of zone blitz strategy, would we have the athletes needed on the defensive line to pull this off? Can you point to any other college football programs that implement this scheme successfully? I understand that the pros can do this because they have players with the necessary athleticism, but I am a bit worried about it in the college ranks.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks for the question and comment.
The teams that include, or primarily use zone blitz teams are, Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, and Alabama. There are others also.
To be effective in zone blitz, you need safeties and outside linebackers who can blitz AND are very good in coverage. My biggest concern at this time is whether our safeties and outside linebackers will be able to do this to effectively execute the zone blitz schemes.
We posted an article back in May of 2008 where we detailed Ohio State's zone blitz defense that might shed some light on E-bloggers out there what Michigan might want to try and install. The article gets into specifics about the positions and their responsibilites.
