Connor Stalions says Ohio State knew what plays Michigan’s defense would run in 2018 and 2019 and the Buckeyes were “rattled” when they couldn’t steal UM’s 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.”

This makes zero sense. Persons of color were the one’s being excluded.

Great play, one of the all-time Buckeye best. Also think a shout-out needs to be given to Sonny Styles. On Sawyer's 'TD run', Sonny kept a Texas defender (WR? RB?), from catching Sawyer from behind. Sonny blocked the poor guy out from making a TD saving tackle. Do believe that Sonny should have gotten a couple extra Buckeye leafs (leaves?) for his play.....

I'm sure in their feeble minds, the only conceivable way Ohio State curb stomps them like that is because we were cheating.

Thats half the problem (who's counting) with them... they always assume another's success is due to nefarious dealing. Indeed, it's why they worked up their own cheating sheme. "Everyone does it"

Did Ohio State really need to steal scUM's defensive signs to know what plays Don Brown was going to run?

Of course not. Unqualified applicants with rich parents will continue to get admitted because they are largely white. Unqualified people will continue to get jobs because they know the "right people."

The backlash over DEI has to do with one thing and one thing only -excluding people of color.

If ending DEI was truly about "hiring the best people" legacy admissions / job hires would go away. But it's not even mentioned and it's obvious why.
