 KANSAS STATE OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY

1. We want to be pro-active in our offensive play calling forcing defenses to adjust.

2. We want to maintain balance in our offensive attack – as to run and pass, as to how we
distribute the football to receivers and how we distribute and attack the field. We always
want to be mindful of getting the ball in the hands of the guys we have that can make big
plays. We must be effective running and throwing the football and be able to use either
as needed in any particular game.

3. We want to be unpredictable – by down and distance, by field position, by formation, by

play selection, by use of special plays, and to a degree by game preparation.

4. We want to present multiple formations and at times combine this with shifts and motion.
a. Tends to reduce the number of fronts, stunts, and coverages utilized against us.
b. Increases defensive preparation.
c. We can best utilize the entire field in our attack.

5. We want to be the last to have the chalk. In other words, we want to call the offensive
attack based on what the defense is in. We want to be in the best possible pass or run to
defeat the defensive front or coverage.

6. We want to be able to control stems and bluffs.

a. Through cadence and different tempo’s.
b. Through route adjustment.
c. Through no huddle offense.
d. Through a build in system of protections, blitz pickups and hot reads (minimal).
e. By utilizing motion.

7. We must be able to protect our QB, be blitz sound and yet still release the maximum
number of receivers possible.

8. We want to be able to run the ball effectively with good execution as a result of repetition
through use of gap schemes, zone schemes, man schemes and option using attachments
when possible. We would like to stretch the defense horizontally at times, thereby
leaving open running lanes. We also want the ability to come down hill and attack the
defense directly as well as to have the ability to use misdirection. We would like to use
formations to create situations where the defense is a gap short in their defensive scheme.
We want to present the best possible number situation for our offense.

1
9. We want to attack defensive coverage with pass schemes that will stretch the defense
vertically and horizontally and take advantage of mismatch situations by numbers/ or
personnel. We want to utilize play action passes off our most effective runs and be good
with our screen game. We always want the ability to move the pocket when needed.
When facing the blitz, we must protect first and then create big plays. When facing the
blitz, we know consistency decreases but the opportunity for big plays increases. We
need to make defenses pay the price.

10. We want to have a low ratio of turnovers (interceptions and fumbles lost to number of
plays). We want to be particularly aware of not turning the ball over on our half of the
field.

11. We want to have the ability to create “Big Plays” and yet at the same time have the
ability to control the clock when needed.

12. We want to have the ability to score anywhere on the field in a short period of time.

13. We want to be effective on first down with gains of 4 yards or more to prevent 2/L and
3/L.

14. We want to vary our cadence and tempo’s to reduce the effectiveness of the defensive
charge.

15. We want to be effective in the “Red Zone.”

16. We want to be a team that plays with great emotion, plays hard and aggressively.

17. We want to be a team with few penalties and missed assignments.

18. We want to tag as much of our run game as possible with attachments to control blitzes
and stretch the field horizontally.

19. We always want the capacity to execute no huddle offense utilizing multiple tempo’s or
two minute (fast break) offense to change the pace of a game and provide defensive
problems.

ILLUSTRATION OF THE HUDDLE

(LOS)

LT LG C RG RT
X W Y F R
QB

1. Center is first man to set huddle, 5 yards deep behind the ball. HURRY!
Everyone is to make eye contact with the QB’s mouth, concentrate and listen.

2. Everyone must HURRY back to the huddle. X, W, & R must not penalize our
team by not getting back to the huddle quickly. We are on a 40 second clock.

3. Take pride in your huddle. The shape and appearance are the responsibility of
each player. (X-W-Y-R) place your hands on your thigh pads and stand
tall.

4. The QB does the talking. All others LISTEN. The QB must talk straight out –
not down at the ground or up in the air. Just prior to the QB entering the huddle
“W” will give the D/D.

5. If you do not hear the signal, the word is CHECK. LISTEN. Keep your head up
and watch the QB’s lips. SEE what you hear.

6. If you are the center break the huddle after the QB gives the snap count and get
set quickly. If you are a wide receiver taking a wide alignment, sprint from the
huddle after the QB gives the snap count. If it involves W and X, W goes in front
and X behind. If it involves X and R, R goes in front and X behind. In other
words, X will always go behind. All others break the huddle on the command of
“Ready Break” with the QB and clap their hands in unison. OL turn inside,
bounce out of the huddle, and sprint to your position. X, W, R, and Z only leave
early if taking a wide alignment. All receivers must align and GET SET
QUICKLY to avoid penalty and give the QB a chance to change the play as
needed. GET SET WITH PROPER ALIGNMENT. NO ALIGNMENT
PENALTIES.

3
 7. We must be efficient in our huddling. We have 40 seconds to get the play started
after the ball is blown dead on the previous play. Players down field must hurry
back to the huddle to conserve the clock. This is indicative of your physical
condition and your desire to play football. We MUST allow the QB enough time
to effectively change the play at the LOS as needed.

8. In practice QBs re-huddle bad huddle breaks. Take CONTROL of your huddle.

HUDDLE
1. QB calls:
• Formation (Trips) and direction (Right or Left)
• Motion, if needed (Rip or Liz etc.) or a shift (Jump, Trade, etc.)
• Play series and hole number (22-23, etc.)
• Descriptive term for block or backfield maneuver (Scoop, Angle, Power)
2. Example of QB’s call in the huddle:
• Rhino 2 Scoop on cat, ready - break
• Trips Left 65 Everybody Go, on cat, ready – break
3. Break the Huddle
• QB calls the signal
• X, W or R leave the huddle, sprint to their position if they occupy an
outside receiver position.
• QB gives preparatory command to break huddle: “Ready”. As QB says,
“Ready”, he spreads his hands.
• As QB says, “Break”, all players say, “Break” and clap hands in unison.
• Players turn inside and sprint to the LOS. All assume their stance.

LINE OF SCRIMMAGE

1. QB Calls:
• “Ready” – “Ready” (only with motion or a shift)
• “Down”
• “Set”
• “Go” – Snap signal if on Cat.
• If an Audible is needed, it will be iniated by the QB with a live number,
If a play is checked off, the QB will call the play, with abbreviation, two
times at the LOS. The snap count will always be on “Cat” on all
automatics.

4
 HOLE NUMBER SYSTEM

1. Each player must be thoroughly familiar with our hole numbering system.
2. The holes are numbered even to the right and odd to the left.
3. Hole locations:
• 9&8 Outside of TE or an imaginary TE (9 to Left & 8 to Right)
• 7&6 Outside shoulder of the TE or an imaginary TE (7 to Left & 6 to
Right)
• 5&4 Outside shoulder of the tackle (5 to Left & 4 to Right.)
• 3&2 Outside shoulder of the guard (3 to Left & 2 to Right)
• 1&0 Outside shoulder of the center (1 to Left & 0 to Right)

34
 KANSAS STATE RUN GAME TERMINOLOGY

ARC: Term used on the back side of run game calls. Can refer to a TE (Y, U), or
a Back (F, U). Tells them to release to the alley backside and take the 1st defender
on their outside shoulder. A TE on the line and on the backside of any READ
scheme should automatically ARC.

BACKER: Run Term used with the BOOK scheme. BACKER tells the QB to
read the Backside LB in the Box. If the LB buries himself into the zone run
scheme, QB keeps. If LB hangs and scrapes Backside, it is a handoff read.

BLUFF: Term used in the run game that involve READ or QB BLUFF schemes.
Can refer to either a BACKSIDE BLUFF or a SAME SIDE BLUFF. The
“Bluffer” would align away from the Read Key on a BACKSIDE BLUFF and on
the same side as the Read Key on a SAME SIDE BLUFF. The bluffer wants to
step up then take a path using the Aiming Point of the Offensive Guard to the side
of the Read Key. The following scenarios can occur:

1. The Read Key runs STRAIGHT UP FIELD – The Bluffer should avoid the
Read Key - BYPASS, insert inside and look for Scrape LB to High Safety.
2. The Read Key SQUEEZES – The Bluffer should CHIP the Read Key and
work to the ALLEY.
3. The Read Key is IN BETWEEN Scenarios 1 & 2 – The Bluffer should
HAMMER the Read Key and protect for the QB on the keep.
4. There is EDGE PRESSURE (FIRE) to side of read – The Read Key (Usually
DE) will cross the Offensive Tackles face – The Bluffer should block the
Blitzer.

Once the Bluffer has cleared the Read Key, the Bluffer takes the next thing to
show in the ALLEY. The Bluffer’s eyes should always key in the following
sequence:

1. OUTSIDE PRESSURE – Corner when to the boundary (1 Receiver Side),

Overhang Safety/LB when to the field.
2. INSIDE SCRAPE LINEBACKER – If no outside pressure (as is the case
when bluffing to an ARC TE side), look for a LB Scrape Inside.

35
 3. HIGH SAFETY – If no outside pressure and no Scrape LB inside, the
Bluffer should look to block the High Safety.

On the majority of our READ schemes, the Bluffer should cross the ball and
execute a BACKSIDE BLUFF. When coming from the same side on a SAME
SIDE BLUFF, the Bluffer should be very patient.

On QB BLUFF schemes, which can be single or double bluff schemes, the play in
its entirety executes at a slower pace. The 1st Bluffer in a DBL BLUFF scheme is
more liberal to clear to the alley, while the 2nd Bluffer is more conservative to stay
on the Read Key to protect the QB.

BOB: Isolation scheme to the Open Side, including QB Bob. The Blocking Back
is assigned to the widest LB in the box. The Blocking Back can line up either on
the front side or backside of the play. Center is targeted to the 2nd LB.

BOOK: Run scheme term similar to READ. BOOK tells the QB to read the
overhang defender rather than the Defensive End. It also tells a Backside TE or
Tackle to cutoff the Backside DE. Can be tagged to any run scheme.

BOOT: Term tagged onto run schemes that tells the QB to fake handoff and then
is the ball carrier to BACKSIDE of scheme.

BOSS: Term that is tagged onto a variety of different run schemes. If a position is
noted in the call with BOSS (i.e. “Y BOSS”), this position has the BOSS
assignment. If no position is specifically noted, the BOSS is talking to a Y/F/U/R
front side, based on scheme.

BOSS rules tell the offensive player that he has the SUPPORT defender in the
Alley, or the 3rd LB vs. a 3 LB Box.

BOX: Term used with Zone READ schemes where the QB and Bluffer read the
Backside LB (2 LB Box) or Middle LB (3 LB Box). If the LB fits towards front
side of run, QB keeps, bluffer sheds DE and protects for keep. If LB scrapes
backside for keep, the QB hands off and the Bluffer stays and cuts off DE.

BYPASS: Term used with the BLUFF technique when the read key comes up
field, the bluffer protects for the handoff and bypasses inside, then looks inside
linebacker to high safety.
36
CHASE: Term used with QB Zone schemes, the RB Fakes zone from the gun to
call side, QB rides mesh. The RB comes off fake and goes to backside cutoff DE.
QB runs QB Zone footwork.

CLIMB: Term used with TED scheme, tells the Climber to line up in a tight wing
position with the TE and the Climber and TE execute a STING block to the Front
side LB.

CRACK: Term used in reference to a split out WR or flexed TE. This tells the
tagged player to block the LB to their inside.

DOUBLE (BOB, TRUCK): Term that tells the offensive line to ID to the farthest
backside LB in the Box (Usually vs. a 3 LB Box).

DRAW: Can be Tagged onto ISO and BOB schemes. Line shows pass set 1st, then
releases to defenders Center is targeted to. Backs involved in scheme in backfield
show pass protection 1st and delay release to blocking assignment. TE releases to
block on schemes tagged with DRAW.

EXIT: Open side run scheme vs. a 3 Technique and DE expected squeeze. Tackle
blocks down on 3 Technique. Guard pulls and cuts the outside thigh of the DE.

FLIP: Misdirection Flip scheme where the RB works for width away. Everyone
else executes Inside Zone (F 22/23) and the FB fakes F 22/23. Backside Guard
and Backside Tackle execute a Swap to the Backside LB. On 18/19 Flip, the RB
and QB both show zone away from the call side for 1 step, then work back front
side for the option-style pitch.

GANG: Call used with OPTION schemes. It is used whenever there is a look
with a MAN ON and MA N OUTSIDE to the option side. Tells everyone to Track
block to the call side and reach to their gap play side and scoop everyone up. The
MAN OUTSIDE is the Pitch Key.

GAT: Stretch run scheme with 2 Pullers. TE has the DE wherever he is. 1st Puller
has the Front side LB. 2nd Puller has next defender to show inside.

GHOST: Tells a WR to fake a REVERSE in the run game.

37
GONE: Term tagged on to POWER OPTION and RUMBLE schemes. Tells
everyone front side that there blocking assignment moves over one defender
towards front side. It gets the Center on the pull instead of the Guard. It tells the
TE to C Gap Cut-Off the Backside, and the Backside Tackle and Guard to Swipe
to Backside LB – Like Backside of 2/3 Zone.

GONE call is off if there is a 1 Technique Backside.

ISO: Isolation scheme to a TE side. Center is targeted to the Backside LB. Versus
a 3 LB box, FB is inserting on the Middle LB. Versus a 2 LB Box, FB is inserting
on Front side LB. Can be run with QB as well. Blocking Back can align front or
backside.

JET: Misdirection plays where the line will block ZONE (2/3) away from the call
side (i.e. LOFT 18 JET BOSS – Line would block “3”).

JOKER: Any PUNCH or RUMBLE scheme where the TE or Tackle has a MAN
ON and OUTSIDE, a JOKER call is made. Joker call tells the TE or TACKLE to
block MAN ON and Puller to go to END MAN ON L.O.S.

KEEP: Term tagged onto run schemes that tells the QB to fake handoff and then is
the ball carrier to FRONT SIDE of scheme.

MIKE: Can refer to two separate terms in the run game, first as a scheme, second
as an assignment tag:

1. SCHEME – Isolation scheme where the Front side Guard and Center will
push to the Front side LB and the FB will insert on the Backside LB. Versus
a 3 LB Box the FB will insert on the Middle LB.
2. ASSIGNMENT TAG – Typically used with the POWER OPTION scheme –
talks to the TE (Y). A MIKE tag tells the TE to arc release to the MIKE LB,
rather than BOSS to ALLEY.

O: Tagged on any zone schemes that go to an OPEN SIDE, tells the Center to push
to the widest LB in the box (Play side LB).

OPTION: Wide Zone Blocking Scheme leaving one for a Pitch Key to call side.
On 2 Back OPTIONS scheme leaves 2 Front side, one for the Pitch Key, one for
the FB.
38
When tagged onto Zone Read schemes, leaves one more defender besides the Read
Key for the Pitch Key.

PUSH: Call given to the center from the QB to let him know we are running to the
open-end side when running 2-3 zone or 0-1.

OUT: Call given by the QB to the OL for them to push out to the next defender
outside the box with their blocking scheme. (Most common in odd man fronts)

PIN: Blocking term attached with a run play that talks to receivers that tells them
to “pin” the first man inside of them.

PITCH: Term attached to POWER schemes where the QB will still reverse out,
but instead of a handoff, will PITCH the ball to the RB. The RB should still stay
tight on the POWER scheme when on path to catching the PITCH.

POWER: 2 Back Gap scheme to a TE side with a combo scheme and a pulling
Backside Guard. The RB’s footwork is slide/scissor and go, reading it A-B-C Gap
out and the puller’s block. FB has the 3rd LB or Overhang. On QB Power with 2
Backs, the 2nd Back has the Safety.

POWER O: Is a Power scheme to an open side. Combo wheel goes to the 2nd LB
in Box. Puller goes to the Front side LB. FB/RB has the 1st Defender Outside the
Tackle Front side. TE Backside has to ARC to 3rd LB whether he is in the box or
out.

POWER OPTION: Is a Power O Scheme, but Puller has to read the Read Key
(usually DE) to find his fit on Front side LB. Instead of blocking the 1st defender
outside the Tackle, the FB or TE Front side has BOSS rules. The RB lines up
backside with QB in the Gun, turns shoulders and goes, QB reads Read Key to
determine whether to keep or hand off.

PULL: Attachment to run game where the tagged position runs a PULL route
rather than executing their normal assignment for the run game scheme.

PUNCH: Power run scheme out of 1 Back sets. Is a Combo scheme with a pulling
Backside Guard. Footwork for the RB is the same as on Power.

39
QB SAME SIDE: Tells the RB to line up and fake a Same Side handoff, staying
on the Frontside of the play (mesh) then execute their blocking assignment after
the fake.

READ: Used with run schemes to leave the 1ST DEFENDER OUTSIDE THE
TACKLE to the BACKSIDE unblocked as a Read Key. In schemes such as “BOB
READ”, the READ takes precedence over the BOB in terms of assignment for a
TE backside. This would tell the TE to ARC rather than block the DE to his side.

REVERSE (DBL REVERSE): Run Scheme misdirection play typically to a WR

and can be run off of ZONE, POWER OPTION, and OPTION schemes. The DBL
REVERSE scheme is used off of 2 Back Zone schemes (22/23) and the RB will
fake zone opposite of the call.

RUMBLE: Gap scheme that involves 2 Pullers. Typically the 2 Pullers are the
Backside Guard and Backside Tackle. When a Position is tagged, for example “F
Rumble”, that position becomes the 2nd Puller rather than the Backside Tackle.
The 1st Puller is still the Backside Guard.

Rumbles taken from the home set involves counter footwork by the RB. Rumbles
taken from the Gun (Typically with a READ scheme) involve footwork by the RB
similar to Zone footwork, but at a slower pace due to the involvement of Pullers.

QB Rumbles are taken from the Gun. When there is a tagged position for the
second puller, there can be a FAKE or NO FAKE of the POWER OPTION
mechanics by the tagged puller. In either case, the tagged 2nd Puller (F/U/Y)
should have a wide alignment pre-snap if they are in the backfield. When there is a
FAKE, the Back fakes Power Option, reads the 1st Puller’s fit and reacts
accordingly to find the Front Side LB. When there is NO FAKE, the Back Steps
Up, reads the 1st Puller’s fit, and finds the Front Side LB.

SAME SIDE: Can refer to both a SAME SIDE BLUFF or to a particular run
scheme. When SAME SIDE (SS) is used along with a run scheme, it refers a
shotgun run play and tells the RB where to line up. On zone and punch schemes
from the gun, the RB would typically line up backside in the gun and cross the ball
on the mesh. SAME SIDE ZONE or PUNCH aligns the RB to the frontside of the
scheme in the gun.

40
SCOOP: Term used on OPTION schemes to TE side. Tells the TE to STING with
Tackle to Front side LB. In 2 Back OPTIONS vs. a 3 LB look, tells TE to EAT
with Tackle to Middle LB.

SEARCH: Term that is tagged to a variety of run schemes, typically referring to a

blocking back. Search tells the assigned player to insert into the blocking scheme
as if they are running the ball and block the first defender to show. Alignment can
come from the front or backside.

SHOVEL: Same blocking scheme up front as POWER OPTION with different

backfield action and a Shovel Pass. QB shows a Sprint Action to front side, RB
lines up backside, steps up 2 yds. from L.O.S. and works across Center to catch
shovel pass. If QB keeps the ball, RB blocks the alley.

SLICE: Term that implies automatic PISTOL backfield alignment. The QB will
clear for the mesh with the RB with his back TO the call side/front side (i.e. “22
Slice – QB’s back opens to right). The RB, from the pistol set will come downhill,
entering the mesh away from the call side. Upon clearing the mesh, the RB will
“SLICE” (push laterally with square shoulders) to the frontside of the run scheme.

SLIDE: In the run game, a slide call is made by the TE in POWER OPTION
schemes. This call tells the offensive unit that the TE, rather than BOSSing to the
alley to block the overhang will instead block the DE (typically the Read Key) like
POWER and the QB will now read the OVERHANG. The TE wants to make a
SLIDE call in POWER OPTION schemes when the defender he is to BOSS to is
tight to the L.O.S. and he will have to put his body in a bad position to execute the
block.

SMACK: Tells the WR to PUSH-CRACK to a HIGH SAFETY. The WR

executes this by pushing at the Corner, then letting the HIGH SAFETY trigger as a
run fitter. When he triggers, the WR comes off the Corner and blocks him. We
DO NOT SMACK LOW SAFETIES in a force position.

The WR should stay on the corner if he is the run force (Cov. 2 Look).

LOPE motion implies and automatic SMACK by the WR in motion on run plays.

41
STATUE: Misdirection scheme, can be executed with a RB, WR, or QB.
Blocking for O-Line and WR’s is Convoy Rules. Play side Tackle oversets DE
and invites him inside to pin him. Back in Backfield not getting the handoff,
shuffle-shuffle-pins to play side, chips DE and works to alley.

STICK: Attachment on QB Run Game schemes. If just “STICK” is tagged, it will

be mirrored on both sides. If a position is tagged in front of STICK (i.e. R
STICK), the tagged side will run a STICK scheme and the backside will run their
normal routes on the BACKSIDE of STICK schemes.

TACO: Tackle trap run scheme with a pulling backside tackle targeted at the lone
LB in the box (Run only vs. 5 man box, unless it is QB Taco).

TED: Outside run scheme with Fold blocking and 2 pullers. Can be run with the
RB or QB. TE has the DE wherever he is. Play stays on vs. a 9 Technique. 1st
Puller has Force Defender, 2nd Puller has Front side LB.

TRUCK: Isolation scheme with a pulling Backside Tackle. Backside Tackle has
Front side LB. Center targets to the 2nd LB. Can also be run with QB using F
Truck, F blocks like BOB.

WHAM READ: Run Scheme where we will read the first down lineman to the
backside of the center. The WHAM READ concept can also be used with TED
schemes.

42
 FAST BREAK (TWO MINUTE) OFFENSE

Will be used late in ball game to come from behind or score to break a tie. May
also be used earlier in game in order to begin to catch up if behind by more than 7
points. In either case, the objective is to move the ball into scoring position as
quickly as possible efficiently using as little of the clock as possible. Depending
on the score and time remaining, it is possible that (if we are moving the ball
efficiently and effectively against the clock), we could get into scoring position
with the two minute offense and go into our slow down offense in order to score,
go ahead, and not leave the opponent enough time to come back and score.

1. We must first designate what is needed:

a. Must score twice.
b. Must score a touchdown.
c. Must score a field goal.
d. Want a TD, but would settle for a FG. If we are going for a FG,
everyone must know to which yard line we must get the ball.

2. We must know how many time outs we have remaining.

3. QB must remind our offense in the huddle that we are in “Fast Break
Offense” and the snap count is on “CAT” and we must hustle at all times.
Kill It is on “DOWN”.

4. QB must eye the bench for signal. If signaler points at QB, the QB will call
the play.

5. Everyone must hustle full speed, unpile quickly, sprint to your alignment.
QB must audible while the offense is getting lined up.

6. All ball carriers must get the ball out of bounds. If you have the ball in the
middle of the field and have or can get the 1st down, that might be the
quickest way to get the clock stopped (stops on 1st down to move chains).
Passes to get the ball out of bounds after a completion: Outs/Flats/Square
Outs/Trail Outs/Unders/Seam Flags

7. Whenever the clock is stopped but will start up when official signals
(example: after a first down, injury, penalty) everyone should be lined up
and the audible called. As soon as the official signals ready for play, the QB
can take the snap.

43
8. Always know how many time outs remain. Always look to sideline for time
out signal. Sprint to official yelling and signaling time out. Don’t let time
run off clock while trying to call time out.

9. When the two-minute process slows down, use a time out.

10. Try to save one for a FG or “Last Play”.

11. Anyone can call time out when in “Two Minute Offense.” Coach Snyder can
call time out off the sideline.

12. We will have a receiver – T.O. Sub on the sideline. When designated he
will enter field, call T.O. with nearest official and continue to substitute.

13. QB should tell referee that you want a T.O. immediately after the next play
when that is appropriate. You still must tell him after the play, but now he is
looking for the call.

14. Use “Kill It” to stop clock when the loss of a down will not affect us.
Certainly not on the 4th down. When you do not have time on the clock for
all the remaining downs and one or less timeouts use “Kill Its”.

15. If no T.O.’s left and clock is running out and offense can’t get set in time,
execute “Kill It” even though we’ll get a penalty. Referee will mark off
penalty and start clock. By that time everyone should be set, the audible
called and it should take only 1 second to start the play.

16. The clock will stop and stay stopped when the following things happen:
a. A time out is called by a player on the field.
b. A pass falls incomplete.
c. A ball goes out of bounds (last 2 min. of the half).
d. A time out is called by the referee to control crowd noise.

17. The clock will stop and then start after the referee signals that the ball is
ready for play when the following things happen:
a. A penalty is assessed, except for certain penalties near the end of a
half and then at the referee’s discretion.
b. A first down is made.
c. A player is injured.
d. The referee calls time out for a measurement.
e. The referee calls time out for game administration.
f. A ball goes out of bounds (more than 2 min. left in the half).
44
18. Special Situation: If a third or fourth and short situation arises and we must
go for the 1st down – the QB must know and have practiced in advance what
that play should be.

19. Likewise, the QB should know and have practiced that last play and last two
play sequences.

20. We cannot always force the ball into the boundary. If the secondary rolls up
the secondary to prevent quick outs, etc. we must exploit the middle with Ins
and Verticals because the defense has weakened itself there. The same is
true of checks and convoys. We still can get the ball on the boundary with
seam flags involved with the smash scheme.

21. Time permitting, we want a blend of run and pass (Draws, Shovels, etc).

45
 4 MINUTE (SLOW DOWN) OFFENSE

Used to run as much time off the clock as possible without turning the ball over to the
opponent. May be used at any time. Most likely late in game when we are ahead. May
be used earlier when in the lead to shorten the game and give opponent few opportunities.

1. Sideline Signal is arm swing like official indicating to keep the clock moving.

2. QB must call “Slow Down Offense” in huddle.

3. Snap count will be on “One”.

4. QB will take the snap as the 40/25 second clock goes from 2 seconds to 1 second
(therefore, using virtually all the time.) If 40/25 second clock is not working, we
will have a stop watch on the sideline and point to the QB when 5 seconds
remaining on the 40/25 second clock.

5. Regardless of play, no one goes out of bounds (ball carriers) and stay up as long as
possible.

6. Protect the ball with both hands because defense will try to strip the ball. If any
danger of the strip – go to the ground.

7. The officials will start 40 second clock when the previous play is blown dead.

8. Eliminate all penalties, as that will stop the clock.

9. QB asks the referee, while the clock is running how many time outs remaining for
the opponent.

We must know how many time outs the opponent has remaining. We then will
determine if we will need a first down to run the clock out. This process will be as
follows (assuming that it is 1st down):

0 TIME OUTS 1 TIME OUT 2 TIME OUTS 3 TIME OUTS

IF GAME CLOCK 1:50 1:30 :50 :20
IS STOPPED

IF GAME CLOCK 2:20 1:50 1:20 :50

IS RUNNING

46
If the time on the clock is less than shown for any of these situations, we can run
the clock out without getting a first down.

If the time on the clock is more than shown, we will need a first down.

By executing the process as outlined in 1-9 above we can run off more time than
indicated.

If the time indicates, we can run the clock out without giving up the ball. We
would prefer to run VICTORY (slow to go down) or (Flanker/ Wing) 88-89 Run
(the QB Sweep with two lead blockers) to use up more time on the clock, but
but with lost yardage and a greater risk of fumble (QB must be secure with
ball).

The clock will stop and stay stopped when the following things happen:
a. A time out is called by a player, a coach, or the referee. (The referee’s
time out for crowd noise will keep the clock stopped until the snap).

b. A pass falls incomplete.

c. The ball goes out of bounds (last two minutes of the half).

d. When a delay penalty is taken in an effort to run the clock for the full

Common Elements:
Both Inside Receivers – Have Unders or Mesh (Mesh Receiver to call side is on top). If run from a Trips look, the single
receiver will tighten and run Under and be a part of the Mesh. May be called on another route such as a flag – next receiver
out takes Under. One of the remaining receivers will be called on an In route and the other receiver will run a Post Arrow
unless bracketed and then run a Conversion.

When we call Two Under Post Flag or Comeback, both Outside Receivers run the route called. It is mirrored.
