Michigan's defense is one of the best in the country, and it is much more than just talent.
And despite their offensive issues in Week 1, their defense - led by former long-time NFL defensive coordinator Wink Martindale - is still very much elite, and should provide a major challenge for the Longhorns offense.
“I think naturally, trademark and the wrinkle that you see is the pressure packages,” Sarkisian said. "He’s going to pressure you. He likes to cut it up and send defensive backs and send linebackers and attack protections and things of that nature, so he’s not afraid to do it.” However, thanks to his previous experience coaching with Martindale in 2004 with the Oakland Raiders, he knows that he will have to account for variations of different looks in those coverages.
