UW-Platteville Offense
Goal Line and Short Yardage
In goal line and short yardage situations we will use a tight end formation. We have the ability to use two tight ends and adjust our backfield to a one or two back set. Out of this formation we can still run our basic passing package. We will use four or five basic running plays. The key to success in this formation is aggressive blocking and the mentality that we are going to get the first down or touchdown.

Goal Line Formations

Our Goal Line system is based on two tight-end formation with two backs in an I formation. We also have one flanker. In our system we have an adjusting player that will line-up according to formation call. We use a number system to move the adjuster. We can also move other players by adding formation adjustments, which are words.
