5.  LOOK & SEE*Every play is an audible 1. QB sets defense to look for numbers-voids 2. Play is called according to situational game plan. 3. used to create advantage, rather than avoid disaster.  BUNCH 1. Loose-bunch, 2 yards off line of scrimmage or on sideline.  GO-GO 1. No huddle, team is in fast break mode to speed up game. 2. Used after first down gained / offense has developed rhythm.  GATOR 1. No huddle, shotgun, QB cues center by raising leg. 5

6.  DALLAS (Double cadence) 1. Use full attack mode, then go-go mode! 2. Used to force defense to adjust alignment.  2-MIN 1. No huddle, automatic go-go or gun-gun (save clock).  MULE TRAIN 1. No huddle, QB will use all of play clock, “mule-mule”. 2. Used to run clock.

8.  Basis to offense!  The most important factor about the no huddle offense is effective communication.  We will use verbal cues along with hand signals to communicate everything we would do in a huddle.  To start a series - use a “bunch” type huddle to communicate the first play and then take the field and go. 8

9. STEP 1  Signal / call personnel grouping  Reverse defensive logic / get outside of your comfort zone STEP 2  Personnel group determines offensive sets  Offensive set determines offensive thinking / pass – run priority STEP 3  Pass – Run priority determines what to look for in defense  Defense determines pass – run call / 1-2-3 triangle thinking STEP 4  Apply offensive principals with player match ups  *Keep yourself smart and keep yourself simple STEP 5  Stay within triangle / Best match up wins  No magic play 9

MOVEMENTS – SHIFTS ( BACKS ON PLAY STRIP) - versus stemming defense = stem them (movements)! - teach automatic shifts with play (practice both)! - use run game and movements on play strip daily. - use pass game and multiple sets on pass strip daily. STRONG SIDE AND QUICK SIDE (OLINE COUNTER SERIES) - use strong side counter (best oline pulling). - use quick side to trap (best trapper). - increase reps by running strong-weak side plays. RIGHT – LEFT RECEIVERS - best receiver to qb’s arm strength. - work mismatches with defensive personnel 16
