2018 Tri-O Structure No huddle – PSU Hback Offense SEE: *Teaching Points SEE: *Coaching Points SECTION 1 Offensive Evolution – Why, What, How Teaching Progression and Practice Plan (Penn State 2017) Offensive Personnel and Alignments (Penn State 2017) + Wing-T (Zebra) Communication *Teaching Point = teach offense by progressing from SECTION 1-2-3-4-5 + using Drills and Techniques *Coaching Point = the devil is in the details + see individual coaching points throughout (USE)
Offensive Evolution Why – What – How Joe Moorhead – PSU OC - “BIG 3” #1 Preparation #2 Effort #3 Execution #1 GOAL = EVOLVE QUALITY CONCEPTS AND LEARNING TO SIMPLIFY “Evolved Simplicity” WHY 1. Learn from Penn State Offense 2016-2017 (OC – Joe Moorhead version) 2. Simple and Sound (adapts easily to HS level) 3. Keep Old Core Concepts (Power – Sweep - Blast) with New (Split Zone-Veer) WHAT 1. Hback Offensive Sets (Penn State Alignments and Terminology) 2. New Split Veer (Penn State Split Zone concepts – combined with Veer concepts) 3. Blitz Beater Focus (Sound – Simple and Creates Explosive Plays) HOW 1. Chunking of concepts-plays-calls-cues = Scaffolding to Simplify *Only 2 blocking schemes to teach-learn for OLine (Man and Zone)

Offensive communication “NOTHING MEANS SOMETHING” - nothing said = Snap on 1st GO QB rapid clap = Sonic Tempo (Fast) QB single clap on “Ready” = ALL SET (3pts) QB cadence = “Down”…..”Ready-Set-Go” D key Freeze – double cadence = “Iceland” (any cold “land”) *1st Cadence (shortened) – “Ready” + “Down” + “Freeze” *Signal = both arms over biceps (freezing) Short + Pistol = “Sunday” (or Saturday) – “Ready + Go” *Signal = pointer and thumb in pistol (pointing @) Long - 2nd “Down…Ready-Set-Go” = “Tuesday” (any weekday) *Signal = double backhand peace sign in *play video – See Qb use Rapid Claps + OLine to 3pt on “Ready” clap + Qb gets hands up @ Center on “Down”
Tempo – stacking system “Complete Clock Management – Teach Tempos from Bunch to Nascar – Ready for Everything” “Offense is about getting Rhythm - create it versus waiting for it to happen” 911 + NASCAR Fastest Tempo = 1 word (signal) does it all GOGO (+) Faster Tempo = Repeat OR (+) = 2 Play Combo SUPER SONIC + SHORT CADENCE Fast Tempo using formation signal + play signal (RPO’s) + Short Pistol FREEZE + LONG CADENCE Regular Tempo using NO HUDDLE – Recognizing Defense then play call *FREEZE = 2 Cadences (#1) Dummy Play (Freeze) (#2) Live Play BUNCH Loose huddle 2 yards off ball – using No Huddle terminology – then to formation *STAR-BURST = Team bursts from bunch and gets set right away for quick snap
No Huddle mechanics & signals RULE #1 – Coach signals opposite = direction is as players see it 1st – Formation 2nd – Tempo 3rd – Snap Count 4th – Play *OLINE gets on Ball and looks @ Defense – Qb communicates tempo + count + play *Recs / Backs / QB ALL look @ coach for Formation + tempo – then look @ Defense – then back to coach Bunch & Burst Alert & Freeze GoGo & (+) Nascar & 911 Oline with back to LOS @ 2 yards *loose huddle Loose Huddle Hands in a bunch (star) 1-bunch cue 2-formation 3-play signal *Qb uses No Huddle terminology “STAR-BURST” hands burst from Bunch Get Aligned + recognize Defense *Alerts Access No huddle Look & See Pointer(s) on eyes “Alert” access-blitz 1-formation 2-Look & See 3-play signal “Look & See” *1 pointer on eye *QB recognize Def & back to sideline “FREEZE” both arms over and on biceps Re-align fast & repeat set + play *Repeat play Faster Repeat Arms doing basketball Ref traveling signal-action *Team repeats last formation and play call “GOGO (+)” 2 plays called With same set Alignment + play + tag *All-in-1 Fastest All-in-1 Fingers in a triangle + both hands using play number *Nascar #’s rule Odd#’s = Left Even#’s = Right “911” Pointer finger + circling motion
Offensive Structure Review What does “Alert” mean? What does “Freeze” mean? What does “GoGo” mean? What does “911” mean? What does “Bunch” mean?
