Yes the defense did play well … and PFF has lots of praise
The top overall defensive grade went to Mikail Kamara,
- six pressures — five hurries and one hit. He also batted down a pass and recovered a fumble.
With 51 pressures on the season, Kamara leads the nation. The next closest player has 44.
Linebacker Aiden Fisher posted the team’s top run defense grade and second-best overall tackling grade behind cornerback Jamier Johnson,who was ejected in the first half for targeting. …
With Johnson out of the game, Jamari Sharpe filled in at cornerback and posted good grades, especially as a tackler. He was targeted seven times for just two completions.
C.J. West led the team in quarterback pressures with seven hurries, and he also batted down a pass. He had the second best pass rushing score.
The best pass coverage grade went to safety Terry Jones, Jr., who recorded two pass breakups. He was targeted four times and allowed just one reception. Jones also had three quarterback pressures and forced a fumble.
D’Angelo Ponds locked down his side of the field. Michigan only targeted him once the entire game.
In total, IU recorded 25 pressures on the quarterback on 37 pass plays
The top overall offensive grade went to quarterback Kurtis Rourke despite the game being far from his best based on traditional statistical measures (17-of-28 passing, 206 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT). The interception was Rourke’s lone major mistake, and his accuracy related issues were largely the result of pressure in the pocket he has rarely faced this season. PFF credited Michigan with 14 total QB pressures for the game on 34 drop backs.
The best pass blocking grade went to center Mike Katic. He posted an elite score, and according to PFF allowed none of the Michigan pressures.
