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.”

Also, I thought it was no big deal to have signs. If we had your signs, was that a big deal?

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

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"

Everyone does it but it's not that big of a deal anyways except it was such a big deal when we definitely did it that they had to do it too even though they didn't do it.
Show me mountains of evidence that we had a nut job ILLEGALLY stealing signs, and I promise you I'll be as outraged at Ohio State as I am at Michigan. Until then, shut the absolute fuck up and prepare your anus, you lying piece of shit.
(Obviously I'm talking directly to bkb, who is also Connor Stallions)

For the 1,000th time, knowing the other team's signs is not the crime; it's how the information was obtained, you cheating, dense gobshite.

The "Big House" is an appropriate name since that's where they are heading!

Just something to noodle on.
The video server access allegations aren't yet - officially at least - under NCAA investigation. There is nothing stopping Warde from saying it didn't happen.
Two weeks ago we moved forward with our reporting that the WHAC video server and OSU login allegations were 100% factual.
This past week we broke that another B1G program has made similar allegations to the conference, and BS was able to confirm that 2nd school was PSU.
No denials from UM. No answers to direct questions from Boob Salsa et al. Nobody can seem to just say "No."
Now, look at the few interviews Warde has done over the past few months. Why in the world wouldn't they ask? From a friend up north - "these sunshine-pumping appearances are conditional."
So, anyways, enjoy your Saturday. Who knows what next week will bring.

Nothing like going into an interview knowing that you are only going to be asked softball questions. Pure Michigan.
I love how Ryan Day can handle the heat. And he's able to react to off the wall questions.
Whereas everything seems scripted up North. All together now, Kumbaya...
