Jay Hill’s Data-Driven Defense | Michigan Wolverines Football News

Michigan’s defense is going all-in on hard numbers this season, with new coordinator Jay Hill setting bold goals: limit opponents to under 100 rushing yards, keep pass efficiency below 100, and force seven turnovers and sacks per game. Drawing from his BYU success—where defenses ranked top-35 in key metrics—Hill’s focus is on dominating the turnover margin and playing with relentless physicality. He’s demanding intensity from Day One, even if it’s not perfect, and is building depth by pushing second-stringers to step up. With a core group of trusted linebackers and defensive backs already in place, Hill believes the talent is there—and now it’s about execution, hustle, and winning every battle on the field.
