I. Laying Plans (Advantage Notre Dame)
Charlie Weis is now calling the plays, and he looked good doing it last game against Nevada. Rich Rod also has a very good offensive mind. Advantage goes to Charlie Weis because he has been doing it longer.
Explores the five fundamental factors that define a successful outcome (the Way, seasons, terrain, leadership, and management). By thinking, assessing and comparing these points you can calculate a victory, deviation from them will ensure failure. Remember that war is a very grave matter of state.
II. Waging War (Advantage Notre Dame)
Sun Tzu claims "success requires making the winning play, which in turn, requires limiting the cost of competition and conflict." I was glad that Michigan won last game and doing so without turning the ball over too much. This way, those frosh QBs of theirs can think that they are the Masters of The Universe. I expect our defense to be flying all over the field tomorrow. Expect our defense to intercept the ball at least three times and force and recover a fumble.
Explains how to understand the economy of war and how success requires making the winning play, which in turn, requires limiting the cost of competition and conflict.
III. Attack by Stratagem (Advantage Notre Dame)
Michigan is still too young. Period.
Defines the source of strength as unity, not size, and the five ingredients that you need to succeed in any war.
IV. Tactical Dispositions (Advantage Notre Dame)
Sun Tzu explains "the importance of defending existing positions until you can advance them and how you must recognize opportunities, not try to create them." Linebackers. ND linebackers have to really show up for this game. They must be focus throughout out the game. And lock down. And play fast. Will they be able to? The past couple of years the answer was a big fat NO. But now with the young guns in ND (B. Smith, Filer, Fleming, Te'o) comes speed. This will be a coming out party for Manti Te'o.
Explains the importance of defending existing positions until you can advance them and how you must recognize opportunities, not try to create them.
V. Energy (Advantage Michigan)
Their in the big house. Coming out of a blow out win. Three Wins last season. Advantage Michigan.
Explains the use of creativity and timing in building your momentum.
VI. Weak Points and Strong (Advantage Notre Dame)
This will be a battle of the trenches. Yes, Michigan has that DE Dude going to the NFL on the first round, but expect Verducci and Weis to know and plan for that. Max protect.
Explains how your opportunities come from the openings in the environment caused by the relative weakness of your enemy in a given area.
VII. Maneuvering (Advantage Notre Dame)
Red Zone defense. Advantage goes to ND because we will not be in the red zone that much just like in Nevada. Expect to see bombs and more bombs.
Explains the dangers of direct conflict and how to win those confrontations when they are forced upon you.
VIII. Variation of Tactics (Advantage Notre Dame)
Micheal Floyd, Kyle Rudolph, and Golden tate. Take your pick. Michigan has two running QBs, but they are still frosh and can be eliminated easily with LB play.
Focuses on the need for flexibility in your responses. It explains how to respond to shifting circumstances successfully.
IX. The Army on the March (Advantage Notre Dame)
Michigan, like Notre Dame, has many traditions, but I'm really surprised that their marching band is not one of them. This might be so because they have stopped trying to beat out the Ohio Script (The very first Ohio Script picture below). That is the bomb! Notre Dame has a better band period.
Describes the different situations in which you find yourselves as you move into new enemy territories and how to respond to them. Much of it focuses on evaluating the intentions of others.
X. Terrain (Advantage Michigan)
Notre Dame is playing in The Big House. 100,000+ screaming Michigan Fans, 'nuff said.
Looks at the three general areas of resistance (distance, dangers, and barriers) and the six types of ground positions that arise from them. Each of these six field positions offer certain advantages and disadvantages.
XI. The Nine Situations (Advantage Notre Dame)
This ND team is a veteran team. They have been through every situation.
Describe nine common situations (or stages) in a campaign, from scattering to deadly, and the specific focus you need to successfully navigate each of them.
XII. The Attack by Fire (Advantage Michigan)
Did you watch the last game against Nevada?
Explains the use of weapons generally and the use of the environment as a weapon specifically. It examines the five targets for attack, the five types of environmental attack, and the appropriate responses to such attack.
XIII. The Use of Spies (Advantage Michigan)
We know that Weis is a good friend Belichick who was caught spying on the other team to get their signs. BUT we all know Rich Rod is a cheater himself by forcing his players to work over time as evidence of this picture.
Focuses on the importance of developing good information sources, specifically the five types of sources and how to manage them.
