Today’s Film Room looks at Florida State’s defensive principles, strengths and weaknesses.
Michigan faces off against an athletic Florida State team that checks in at 31st nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency according to KenPom. Michigan has played better defenses this season but it might not have faced a more aggressive defense.
In this edition of Film Room, we are going to look at Florida State’s pressure and switching defensive system. This is by far the most unique defensive team that Michigan has or will face this season, with a combination of athletes, length and pressure that gives teams problems.
