I love how TCUN fans and their beat double down with giving Stalions a box to stand on, while his BS is one of the reasons their program is getting pulled down a drain. A little bit of self awareness and common sense would fall into a conclusion that he is a problem, and the strawman argument that everybody does it, and OSU is the worst is not helping their cause with the NCAA. I think it is being done to keep the nationwide narrative in check, but in the end it is just a shallow baby pool full of urine having no effect on what is happening with the NCAA.
Connor Stalions Says Ohio State Knew Michigan’s Defensive Plays in 2018 and 2019, Became “Rattled” When It Couldn’t Steal Wolverines’ Signs in 2021

Connor Stalions Says Ohio State Knew Michigan’s Defensive Plays in 2018 and 2019, Became “Rattled” When It Couldn’t Steal Wolverines’ Signs in 2021
As the wait continues for Michigan to receive its punishment from the NCAA for its sign-stealing scandal, Connor Stalions sat down with On3 for an hourlong interview that was published Friday afternoon.
In the interview, the former Michigan analyst who allegedly violated NCAA rules by orchestrating an in-person scouting operation did not directly address those allegations but claimed that “95% of teams have 95% of teams’ signals” and said that his job was more about protecting Michigan’s signals than actually stealing opponents’ signals – a job that he says came about because of how effectively other teams, including Ohio State, stole signals against the Wolverines.
“It started off with teams picking us apart in this cat-and-mouse signal game. And I would say, first of all, signals itself was like maybe 33% tops of what I did, right? I'm doing breakdowns of the defense, doing formation tendency stuff, prepping meetings for linebackers and all that, doing cutups and everything,” Stalions said. “As far as signals go, I would say maybe 95% of the value in it is protecting your own signals. And the way that you protect on defense – I didn't really work with the offense, right? – so with the defense, the way that you protect is kind of categorized in one of two different categories. So one, just call your play after they call theirs, right? That's the cat-and-mouse, like you wanna be the cat and signal second. Or signal at the same time as they do.
“So most of the time, when I was talking to (former defensive coordinator Mike) Macdonald or (former defensive coordinator Jesse) Minter, it was, you see like me in his ear, it's kind of like red light, green light. Like, ‘Hey, if I'm not talking, that means they haven't called their play.’ So you're taking a big risk if you call your play because they're gonna get our signal and they're gonna call the Cover 1 beater, the Cover 3 beater, whatever it is. ’Cause let's not kid ourselves here, I would say 95% of teams have 95% of teams’ signals. So, it's about how you protect, how you decipher, how you employ it. So yeah, it's more like a red light, green light cause we were getting taken advantage of. Ohio State was really abusing us in 2018 and 2019. I mean, every time we're in man, they're running mesh rail. Every time we're in zone, they're running the ball.”
