scrimmage

In a physical, old-fashioned Big Ten battle, Michigan simply looked bigger and stronger at the line of scrimmage, while the Trojans looked largely overwhelmed.

On the third play from scrimmage, he broke loose on a run up the middle and picked up 41 yards.

The two Trojan tight ends had spent all last Saturday night moving around USC’s formations — split out wide, in the backfield, on the line of scrimmage — paving rush lanes and creating mismatches wherever they went.

Philadelphia’s strength along both lines of scrimmage should give the Eagles an edge, especially against a Cowboys defense missing Micah Parsons after the trade.

But as measuring sticks go, Saturday felt more along the lines of a well-orchestrated scrimmage.
