When I re-watched the game I did not see anything that you did not see.
Dantonio knows that if you pack the box on Michigan you force the pass. When you play a mix of man and zone to keep him guessing and then put a lot of pressure on O'Korn he will check his first option...maybe.
Then, in a flash he does a reverse pivot and he is a scrambling gun slinger with a very narrow field of vision. Like watching the game wearing a scuba mask. He sees what is right in front of him and little else, stares it down and the shoots.
He is oblivious to open receivers down field or at the sideline or in an outlet position. He is reading little or nothing.
He needs to burn the defense in single coverage and when leaving a receiver free. He can't because he can't see them.
If I was Indiana I'd play it exactly the same way: Pressure, Pressure, Pressure.
