Many games are won and lost during this period of the game. We must handle ourselves with complete confidence knowing exactly what to do, It is a significant characteristic of a championship team. Each ball carrier should think about getting as many yards as possible, but must get out of bounds. Do not take any chances. Get out of bounds. If we need a F.G., play it more conservatively than if we need a touchdown. If we maintain our poise, know the rules and have a system, we can score. A. Know rules concerning clock. 1, Each team is permitted 3 free time outs a half. 2. Time is in with the snap of the ball. a. After a free time out is called. b. A touchback c. An incomplete forward pass d. A live ball going out of bounds 3. All other time outs the clock starts with the referee's signal. a. After first down b. To complete a penalty for a foul c. An excess time out 8. "Clock Play! - Method used to conserve time 1, Receivers stay with formation perviously called, backs go full set. 2. "Down"! is starting count 3.

When clock is not stopped D. How to conserve time 1. Save out time-outs for two minute period 2. Run plays quickly, get lined up quickly as possible 3. Use "Set!" as starting count Utilize "Clutch" series Utilize "Clock" play for intentionally grounding ball out of bounds QB must call time-out immediately after runner is down, follow the referee Call time-out only if clock is going Ask for measurement when it is close enough to hold measurement is being made--huddle.

Feet: 1. Feet about the width of the arm pits. 2. Weight balanced on the balls of the feet. b. Hips 1. Lower the hips so that the knees are slightly bent. 2. Lower the hips so that the hands can be placed in the center's crouch wrist deep and also allow the arms to bend at the elbows, Body 1, Stay tall, an erect gorse spins faster. J. Knees 1, The knees must be bent as extension of the legs will facilitate your getting under way faster. e. Weight 1. “Balanced over the balls of your feet. ff, Arms 1, Always keep them slightly bent, relaxed, loose and close to the body. This enables you to: (a) Follow the center by straightening the arms. (b) Adjust to the ball in the event that the center does not hit dead center of the top hand. Minimize the margin for error on the exchange. 9. Hands 1, Right is top hand. 2. In-center's crouch, wrist deep. 3. Push palm down. 4, Extend, spread, and curl fingers. 5. Right hand is in dead center of center's crouch. 6. Apply upward pressure, it is the center's target. Make him feel it. 1, Small knuckie of left thumb adjacent to large knuckle of right thumb. This is the joining point of hands. LEFT HAND 2. Left hand faces center's right foot, 3. Fingers extended, spread and curled, pointing toward ground. “51IV, Pivots - a turn of the head, eyes, shoulders and body in the direction of the play side. 1, Techniques @ 2. Reverse pivots - weight shifts to pivot foot on push-off - a quick turn of head and eyes first - if head and eyes are turned first, the body will follow - the hands remain against the center's crotch as the head'turns. This prevents "pulling out"! too soon. b. Opening (sprinting) - weight on foot opposite the turn - turn head and eyes first ~ step off with near foot and push from far foot. ' 2. Look - see the number of the man to whom you are going to give the ball. This enables you to adjust to the ball carrier. 3. Shift weight - shift your weight to the pivot foot as you spin, never before. 4, Swinging foot (reverse pivot) - keep it close to the ground - point the toe of the swinging foot in the direction you wish to go after the spin (if you look at the ball carrier first, the foot will automatically point in the right direction). 5. Head and Shoulders - Keep head and shoulders out of the way of the ball carrier. Work from a crouched position. V. Hand-oF F Look - see the man (his number) quickly to whom you are going to give e the ball, This enables you to adjust to the ball carrier. 2. Point of hand-off - This will vary = YOU must make’ the adjustment. 3. Responsibility - hand off 2/3 quarterback giving bal! - 1/3 ball carrier receiving ball. (The ball carrier must look where he is going). . Holding bal! - hold ball well up in hands - keep both hands on the | ball as long as possible. Start with two hands and finish with one - “giving hand" slightly under the ball and to the rear. Watch the spot - Look at the spot you intend to place the ball. "Look'! the ball right in the pocket. If you look"! the ball in the pocket, you will automatically make the proper adjustment. Footwork in giving - when possible, give with the same hand and foot (left hand, left foot - right hand, right foot). TheSmoothest hand-off occurs when the "giving" foot is on the ground just before the hand-off begins. 7. Placing the ball - place the ball against the body firmly but not hard. Never slam the ball into the receiver. (Be sure the ball is not placed too high - this causes most fumbles), Let the hand "ride with the ball for about six inches after placing it against the body. 8. Fake to keep - always fake to keep the ball after hand-off. Pull your e@ hands into your body as you would if you actually kept the ball. Keep low for added deception. Do not look at the man’ to whom you gave the ball. Pa : -52-vit, vill Hand-Off (Con't). cs Set to pass - Q8 should set up to pass after hand-off or fake the keep unless play calls for other type of faking. Quarterback Faking 2. a. Two-hand ~ show the ball - thrust into pocket - ride ball in = Types : pull ball out, using the back as a screen. b. Wrong hand - hold the ball close to your body with one hand - place the empty hands in the pocket as the receiving back folds over it. Look fake in ~ look the fake right into the pocket just as when giving the ball. Points Quarterback Must Stress F The center exchange: a. "Pressure! of hand against center's crotch. b. Get ball well up in groove of both hands. The Hand-OF F: a. Look at pocket of receiving back. b. Watch until ball touches pocket of receiving back. Quarterback Must Know and Master: The offense thoroughly. The theory of defenses and the abilities of their defensive personnel. The capabilities of his team mates. Certain general rules for play selection. Know your own offense a iar with every man's assignnent against every defense b. know how blocking combinations change into varied defenses. c. You must know how our plays fit into series, how they are co-ordinated and made to look alike to the defense so that the success of one play will help another to be good. Example: 52 will help make run pass 52 successful 4. Go through your offense and analyze each play as to type and chances of success under various circumstances. €. You must remember to use the plays that are working. If particular plays are gaining ground, keep using then until an adjustment is made to stop them. Then call the companion play. -53-SS Sm Quarterback Must Know and Master (Con't) 2. Know opponent's defensive sets and coverages as well as their defensive personnel. a. You must know how to attack the Weaknesses of their total pattern of defense as well as the individuals within the defense. 3. You must know the capabilities of your players. b. c Some men are better in one phase of the game than others. You must use the plays which best. suit the personnel in the game at any given time. * Know the strengths of each player. Know the weaknesses of each player. 4, There are certain general rules for play selection. a. Read carefully the basic rules as outlines in play calling section. b. Tactical situation is made up of six Time Bown Weather and Field Conditions Score Yardage Field Position c. Play calling is effected by all of the above six items. PLAY CALLING Critical situations separate the men from the boys. vrye> Goal line or short yardage attacks. Long yardage situations. 3rd down situations. Deep in own territory. Use of special plays and passes Football, in any classification, is a percentage game. A Quarterback who goes against percentages too often will fail. He'll have to be extremely Tucky. circumstances Each week we Generally, to run too-much of the No one figures to be that lucky due to so many extenuating wolved in a 22-nan game, 1 decide on an attack to beat that opponent. me will result in low scoring unless we are definitely superior. To pass too mich could mean costly losses as the result of failure in Pass Protection with loss of ball possession and field position due to interceptions. To expect perfect passing and protection with pro scuous throwing is unreasonable due to difficulties encountered in Pass Protection against dogging defenses. te College Football is a 3-down game, On 4th down, we will punt or kick a field goal. The exception to this rule is 4 down territory. ‘The charmed distance for any running play is 4 yards, or more. If a running play gains 4 yards, it is a great play. We should come back with another running play.” If a running play does not gain four yards, we are off our average and can rely on some other line of attack. “5hDOWN AND DISTANCE SITUATIONS ist & TEN We must avoid the mistake - loss of position, possession, or the QB thrown for loss. We must avoid the 2nd and 15 situation. Avoid the 105s on Ist down, select the sure fire running plays listed in the Game Plan. If you pass, select the sure fire Pass listed in the Game Plan ~ Outs, Curls, Quick Pass, Play Pass, Sprint, Draws, are fine first down plays. First and Ten is the time to use the Runs or Passes that have been selected as the best plays to defeat the particular opponent on our ready list. SECOND _DOWN What we do on Second Down is governed by what we have gained on the first down. If we gain the charmed figure of four yards, we should run; if not, we can pass. An opponent's long yardage defense might, however, affect the above thought. For example, they might go into some type of Prevent Defense which lands itself to fine outside running. 2nd AND THREE OR LESS Run = get the first down. It is the best time to get the first down. Third and one is the most difficult time. Do not pass in this situation as the defense plays Pass. Consequently, it is easier to get the first down, also something could happen (pass protection breakdown) to cause a loss. To do something that may result ina possible loss is an unforgivable sin of generalship in this situation. 2-6 OR LESS You have succeeded in getting our average. We have 2 downs; to get six, you should run agi Follow the ready list for another good Running Play. 2nd AND HORE THAN 6 - (Expect Dogs) We have not reached our average. You can Run or Pass. If you run, outside might be best unless the Game Plan indicates otherwise - sprints and draws are good. THIRD DOWN All downs are of vital importance, however, victory as against loss can Frequently be pin-fointed to the success of failures of 3rd down situation. Distance to be gained should influence your call. 3rd ANO 2 OR LESS - (They will be in Short Yardage Defenses) Never do anything but run. We must maintain possession. On occasion, we might throw a quick out or slant with as much as two yards to gain. With less than two yards, use our Goal Line Running Plays.xt xu, THIRD DOWN (Con‘e.) ‘rd AND 3 0R 4,5 - (Will probably use regular defense) These situations are the most difficult situations in Quarterbacking, Run as against Pass will be determined by the nature of the defense we encounter in this situation, Some teams play Pass Defense in which case we should run. 3rd AND MORE THAN 5 - (Prevent Defense Situation) This is definitely a Passing situation. On occasion an outside play is definitely indicated. You can expect a dogging on Prevent Defense. Lith DOWN = (A Kicking Situation) Punt or Field Goal. RICE PASSING GAME PERCENTAGE PASSING T. Our passing attack includes 3 classifications of Passin: a. Short = Quick Outs, Slant, Flats b. Medium - Out, In, Comeback, Curls, etc. ¢. Deep - Post, Un, Corner, ete. 2. Pass Coverage will dictate the passing approach to any game. However, the percentage approach is a mixture of the Short and Medium type passes with the Deep Pass thrown at no greater percentage than one for Four or Five. The Medium length Pass is thrown with greatest degree of consistency. 3. To utilize any one phase of our passing game too frequently will hurt us. For Example: to throw deep constantly or to throw short too consistently will hurt us. SETTING TO PASS 1. Lf you expect protection, you must understand the area we are trying to protect and stay there. Width of protection area - from outside hip of one offensive tackle to another. Depth of protection area - 8 yards. a 2. Setting to pass as fast as possible will aid your completion record. It gives you time to look to your receiver and deliver the ball properly with the necessary timing. 3. The key to setting to pass with necessary speed is pushing or dr: off the proper foot (left). a. Prevents sitting out. b. Throws body away from line fast. . Enables you to follow the center on snap.Pease geass geese ggg ggg gg ggg ge ggg ggg ggg gg EE Xt. SETTING To PASS (Con't.) 4, You must master three methods for setting up on a show pass. a, Normal Dropback - 60's, 70's b. Sprint Out'- 80's ¢. Short Dropback - 90's 5. Get a feeling for 7 yards - (3 Long, 2 Short), 6. The ball must be held chest high and with two hands while setting. Keep it chest high and in BOTH HANDS; ready to unload quickly. 7. The time for setting to pass at 7 yards must be accomplished under two seconds (1.5). 8. Look the field over as you set to pass but 00 NOT spend time doing so. Get back quick. The key to good passing technique is to drop off to 7 yards with intense : speed. Set up to pass in a good balanced position. Keep the ball chest high, hold the ball with two hands prepared for quick delivery. Stay in the pocket oblivious to rush and put the ball in the air at the proper time with the proper speed and trajectory. Accomplish this and you have it made. 10, If you are pushed, make your move up and out - never around, This will result in the big loss. You must avoid the big loss. Second and 10 is nothing. Second and 20 kills us. Wandering off and running around rushers hurts us and more especially you. TIMING OF PASS 1. The 1g of the delivery is essential. It is the single most important item to successful passing. 2. Each route has its own distinct timing. As routes and patterns are developed on the field, the exact point of delivery will be emphasized. 3. Take mental notes on the field on timing of the throw. 4, If you cannot co-ordinate eye and arm to get the ball at its intended spot properly and on time, you are not a passer. 5. Keeping the ball in both hands and chest high part of the answer. 6. Generally speaking, the proper timing of any Pass is putting the ball the air before, or as a receiver goes into his final move. If you wait until the receiver is well into his final move, you are too late.XIV, ATTACKING DEFENSES 1. You must know the theory of all coverages. Without this knowledge, e you are dead. 2. You are either attacking man for man defense or zone defense. 3. Vs. Man for Man Defense, you are beating the Man. Vs. Zone Defense, we are attacking an Area. 4, Not knowing the difference will result in stupid interceptions. 5. Study your coverage sheets so that by merely glan know the total coverage design. 19 at a defense you 6. Man for Man Defenses |. Hit the single coverage man. This will keep you in business for a long time, b. Stay away from receivers who are doubled short and long. Example: X End with X Backer. i c. Do not throw to post if weak safety is free. d. Flare action is designed to hold backers. If backers are loose, HIT flare man. fe. The secret to attacking Man for Nan is to attack the single coverage man who 1s on his own with no help short or to either side. f. You must know the individual weaknesses of our opponents and attack them, g. There are many methods of dropping off by deep secondary men. Each e method provides a weakness - know them. 7. Zone Defenses a. To successfully attack zone defense, concentrate on attacking the slots - X-Z, Curl, Y Curl, Cross Routes. b. Flare action is a ust to hold the backers close to the line to help open up the zones behind them. c. Running is great vs. Zone with X Backer on weak side. 8. Exact knowledge of defensive coverage and the patterns to take advantage of these defenses is a must. XV. FIELD POSITION PASSING This phase of passing is most important. Both in relationship to Plus (+) and Minus (-) areas and hashmark location. 2. Some teams play defense by field position. If they do, most of our passes are best thrown from certain positions on the field in rela~ tion to hashmarks Consideration for each pass according to field pos as the pass play is given to the team. Heed it carefully, it will en- hance its success. e Some passes need a great deal of area to be successful, other passes need proper formation set in relation to hashmarks to be successful. i You must understand the exact theory of the effect that field position i plays in the success or failure of a Pass Pattern.SEE area eer ae ~65- +40145 awos sn anes pue mou siya ules] “au!| psek Om SANIH 943 UO 51 {1eq B42 [13UN UND BELOW ITIM SPISUL A 10 }2d92x@ 9uo YIIM 440 e4e soIME LIV “I GH SANT OL OT SANT “sipenoad enoge se ayGnoyy owes ayy “7 Auessooou yous} yous “1 ‘OT sawiw OL S SANTW “parsi| 9q [11M SAeig sseg 328K au * ‘au1y 942 9p1sano 94303 squads suo1a2ea04d Buo4as asi - ease Gog e 1 Styl ‘spueas ayy us 3) mouyp pue ssed parejduoru!

Three point balanced stance. 2) Slight stagger of the feet with a heel and toe relationship and no wider than the shoulders. 3. Body weight must be balanced to enable starting in any direction with ease. You must not give away a key as being the dive back with forward body lean or pitch back responsibility with little or no weight forward. We must not give plays away by leaning, looking, or changing the stance. Start 1. Explode out by concentrating on picking up the hand at the ignition of the cadence and driving off the foot away from your point of aim. All POA's are straight line courses. 2. Do not false step. Exchange 1, Your elbow to the side of the quarterback mst be shoulder high, the forearm parallel to the ground. 2, The far arm should be placed across the belt, the palm turned upward. This serves asa shelf for the quarterback to place the ball. 3. The quarterback is responsible for getting the ball placed in the pocket. Do not reach or slow down to receive the ball. 4 Take the ball by feel; cover over the ball and run with authority. Faking 1, All fakes must be full speed. 2, Use the same hand and orm movements when faking as when receiving the ball. A good fake helps our blockers. 3. After a good fake think BLOCK. Daylight or Option Running 1, To be most effective you must know defenses so that you will know your running lanes, which defensive linemen to run off of, and you can anticipate stunts used by your opponent. 2.

D0 not change direction too often. 3. Keep both hands on the ball until you break through the defensive forward wall, then shift the ball. Once in the secondary, do not exchange the ball from arm to arm. Be a determined runner, make the defense pay the price to bring you down. Keep your fingers over one end of the ball and the other end tucked securely under your bicep. Prevent funbles. Cover over the ball in a crowd and as you are, going down to protect the ball. Follow your interference. Help set up your blocks. Bo not get too close or stay too long with your interference, Run with authority and reckless abandon - make things happen. eNO we ~62-INDIVIDUAL PASS-RUN BLOCKING TECHNIQUES OFFENSIVE BACKS LEAD BLOCK - Used on-Lead Draw - 14 and 15 1, Take a mental hesitation as you raise up from your stance to read the key of the 18 you will block. 2.

Quarterback calls a Route (example 70), all receivers and backs must run good routes since the Quarterback will throw as the defense dictates D, Backs must run hard flares to force linebackers to cover close to ‘the line of scrinmage and not enter into the deep coverage. £. The Quarterback must discipline himself and establish exact footwork for each route in the effort to obtain the best possible timing for the particular route. F, Ends must understand and accomplish the proper breaking points to insure proper timing and prevent the necessity of keeping the ball in air too long. Each pass is calculated for length and distance. G. Intercepting can be eliminated completely if: 1, AN receivers run good routes. 2, All receivers observe proper breaking points. 3. Flaring backs run hard to keep linebackers out of deep coverage. 4, If linebackers enter into deep coverage, quarterback will 5 throw to flare action. . Quarterback will. follow a definite pattern of Read defense before the ball is passed, Read the particular area after the snap, designated by the pass called. Use the proper Footwork for the pass.
