I. NUMBERING SYSTEM

~ .. The numbering system is based upon assigning a numbe~ to the soace occupied by the offensive linemen and tight end~s). This spac~ is termed a "HOLE".

8. Holes to the right of the center are even (0,2,4,6,8).

C. Holes .to the left of the center are odd (1,3,5,7,9).

II. POSITION IDENTIFICATION

A. Our linemen are referred to as Right Guard and Tackle, Left Guard and Tackle, and Center.

8. Our Running Backs are termed "Fullback" and "Tailback".

C.· The Fullback .is given the number "3" when carrying the ball. ( i. e., 30 Trap -- Fullback through the z.ero· hole. )

C,. Interior lineman and ende place their hande on their knees with their eyee directed toward the Quartarback.

D. The Tailback, Fullback and Z Receiver stand erect with their hands on their hips, looking at the Quarterback. DO NOT LEAN QN THE MAN NEXT TO OR IN·FRONT OF YOUl

IV. HUDDLE PROCEDURE

A. The center will put bh hands above his head and give the. command ~huddle". The offenee will then take their positione in the huddle.

B. When the quarterback enters the huddle, all head. will be up and looking at the quarterback.

C. The Quartarbackwill do all of the talkinq in the huddle. Any information that can.be helpful ehould be relayed to the Quarterback outaide the huddle or through the coachas on tha .idaline.

D. The Quarterback will call formation, play and snap count. If motion is called, it will be called between the formation and the play: e.g., Rt Up, H 4, 36 atretch.

E. If you do not hear the play, call "Chack~; QB will repeat the call.

F. The huddle call sequence is as follows:

1. Movement/strategy (shift, sound, freeze)

2. Strength (TE).

3. Formation (X, Y, Z).

4. Backfield set (T, F).

5. Motion.

BREAKING THE HUDDLE

1. All players will hustle.to the line of scrimmage and assume their positions in a minilllWll amount of time. NEVER LOAF.

REMEMBER: We only have 25 seconds to snap the ball after the refereeblow9 the e , whistle.

PROCEDURE ON THE LOS:

1. If shifting the backs' we will always come to the LOS in a formation other than the one called in the huddle.

2. Linemen assume their positions immediately. The line will' initially employ a three-point stance. If a "GiJn" formation is used, the line shall execute the play out of a two-point stance.

3. Motion is initiated by the QB's heel or the nod of his head.

4. The cadence is called in a non-rhythmic manner.

CADENCE INFORMATION

Example: Lou, Set ... 2-36, 2--36 .. Hut, Hut-Hut, Hut

We will utilize a non-rhythmic cadence that incorporates a combination of numbers and huts as get-off conunands. This' system enables us to audible at the LOS, keep the defense off balance, and reduce the amount of stemming.

COMMANDS IN HUDDLE

EXPLANATION

QB's CADENCE ON LOS

.. Indicates ball can be snapped on this command

QB will call directional based on personnel deployment. (Running backs will begin shift]. We will drop this term' if the' play is called on sound.

NOTE: QB can change directional on the LOS at anytime by saying "check" and then giving the new directional. (e.g. "Ray, set, check 3ear, 2-36, 2-36 ... Hut, Hut-Hut, Hut")

Audible system:

We will be able to change the play at the LOS through the use of a live number, such as "One". The live number will be followed by a double or tr iple digit number, which will indicate the specific play to be run.

EXl\MPLE: Ray, Set 1-24, 1-24 (play will now be 24 Load).

Whenever we use a live audible the snap count will always be on one, not the same count as called in the huddle. We will ~ audible if the snap count is "Sound" .

. Check with me (I) or Choose with me (N) will be used to attack the weakness of a given defensive front or coverage. The QS will call the formation,

. play or plays to be chosen and snap count in the huddle. At the LOS he will communicate the direction of the play, or protection, or the play itself by the appropriate number and by faCing the onside first during the audible part of the cadence. (/)Check with me plays are the same play run in different directions or the sarne protection run in different directions. The routes stay the s~me .. (II) Choose with me is a choice for the QS of two different runs, two different " passes, or a running play or passing play. All (/)s or (11)s are snapped on "Two".

Example:' Huddle call: Rt Open (I) Power on Two

LOS: Lou set 2-12, 2-12 Hut, Hut-Hut We will run 26 Power on Two.

Huddle call: Rt (/)Play Pass on Two

LOS: Ray set 2-13, 2-13, Hut, Hut-Hut

We will run play pass routes by WR's and TE, with RB's executing play pass protection to the left; and OL turning back to right ("Ringo").

It I

Huddle call: Rt Ace (/)401 on Two

LOS: Bear set 2-12,. 2-12 Hut, Hut-~ut

We would run balanced routes with single back blocking to right, OL turning back to left ("Lucky").

Huddle call: Rt Tom (11)Choose Stretch Package

LOS: Even set, 2-36, 2-36 But, Hut-Hut We would run 36 Stretch on Two.

Huddle call: Rt Open (11)Choose Dive Package

LOS: Lou set, 2-16, 2-16 But, Hut-Hut We would run 16 Dive Option on Two.

Huddle call: Rt Tom Weak (11)Choose Brush Package' LOS: Ray set, 2-33, 2-33, Hut, Hut-Hut We would run 33 Brush on Two.

FREEZE PLAY

If the defense jump. into the neutral zone, the center should snap ball and the OB takes il knee. This is a two man play between the quarterback and center. Everyone elae must be disciplinad and .tay in their stance until the whistle blows.

NOPLAX

Whenever NNo play" ia called in the huddle (4th down situation), we will go to the LOS and the OS will bark out the cadence to try and draw the defense offsidea. If the defense ahould jump, the center will snap the ball to the Q8 and the Center and QS will fire out atraiqht ahead. The OS must protect the ball. If the defense does not jump offside, we will take a time out or a delay of game depending on field position and a coach'. instruction.

.'

AUD I Bi.E COCK:

Quarterback can change snap count sequence in mid-call by calling "Check".

This is particularly applicable when the snap count is "Set" or "Number". ~he Quarterback will proceed immediately to audible sequence.

Our no huddle offense will be referred to as "FUJIMO". aspect of our offense is different than our two minute drill. used anywhere on the field at any time. It I S primary function defense and eliminate defensive substitution.

This particular "FUJIHO· will be is to confuse the

ORGANIZATION:

If it is the beg inning of a ser ies (f irst down) .we wi 11 huddle on the sidelines. We will take the field in a pre-designated formation dependent upon which substitution group we are putting in the game. Everyone will hustle to their appropriate alignment and. get se~ Lmmediately. If we are into a series and in huddle sequence the QB can say "FUJIMO" as we break the huddle. After that play we are into no huddle and will align in formation on the ball. At any time after a play the QB calls "FUJIMO", we are Umffiediately into no huddle offense and on the ball. At any time between plays, if the QB sa'ys " Huddle", we will huddle up. (QB must look at the signaler)

STANDARD DUCK FORMAT!O~S:

1.

Rt Tame or Rt Tom (direction of Y and formation will be signaled from

. sideline, and repeated by the QB) .

NOTE: This applies to all groupirigs.

Rt or Lt Open - Y will be off LOS. Strength will usually be called to the field.

2.

SPECIALIZED FORMATIONS BY GROUP:

1. Falcon Group or Raven Group = Right Tame or Right Tom.

2. Ace Group = Rt/Lt Ace, or North/South Ace.

3. Rocket Group = Right Spread or Right Tripple.

CADENCE:

Regular - QB will callout a term used to describe a screen or play action pass such as "QUICK", ·WIDE", etc., followed by a two digit or three digit number. QB will repeat this to the other side. QB will th~n say ·HUT". Ball will be snapped. All numbers will be live. If the numbers are 12 or 13 the term preceding is on and the number signifies the direction. the play will be run. For

. example, "BASE 12, BASE 12" would be Base Screen right. "WIDE 13, WIDE 13" would be Wide Screen left. However,. if the two or three digit number is one of our normal run or pass audibles, then. the previous term does not apply. For example, "DR.AW 32, DRAW 32" would be 32 Zone while "WIDE 381, WIDE 381" would be the dropback pass 381. We will not use run descriptive terms as dummy audibles such as STRETCH or ZONE. We would only use these terms if we were calling the play action pass named after them, ~ollowed by the live directional signal' (1'2 or 13).

If the QB calls "FREEZE" as the term preceding a run or pass audible, it does not affect the play but changes snap count from one to three.

/

PLAY CALLING:

The run plays will be assigned on a permanent basis as explained earlier under run audibles. However, if a play variation or blocking scheme variation is needed that ha.s the same number as the assigned play, we will use a descriptive term preceding the number to name that new play. For example,"WIDE 33, WIDE 33" would be 33 Zone, but "BRUSH 33, BRUSH 33" would be 33 BRUSH. Another example is "WIDE 24, WIDE 24" would be 24 Load, but "COUNTER 24, COUNTER 24" would be 24 Counter.

TWO MINUTE OYP'EHSE

"Clutch Series"

One of the most important parts of a tootball game is the two minute per iod just prior to the completion of each half. Many gamaaare won and/or lost during this vital time period. It is not only imperative for the OS to know when time· is legally out, and whether the clock starts with the snap or the referee's signal,. but each player on the field should also know. It is essential that we do not waste a time out prior to this period, and use whatever time outs available very wisely.

This time period may give us the opportunity to go into halttime with either a score or psychological advantage. Field position, remaining time, down and distance, and the score are all factors that must be taken into account before assessing the two, minute offense. '

The folloWing points are important and should be noted during the two minute period:

1. It is the responsibility of the QS to know how much time is remaining.

It is important to know how many time outs you have remaining.

2. The clock is not started after a score until the KO is legally touched.

The clock does not start on a change of possession until the ball is snapped.

3. A time out in excess of three is a foul unless for an injured player, who must be removed from the game. Time continues at the referee's signal. 'Excessive time outs bear a 5 yard penalty, and the clock starts with the referee's signal. You can call a time out immediately after a time out without a snap.

4. Officials will notify the captai~ and Coach of the number of time outs remaining.

S. Automatic time granted upon Captain's request for measurements of first down yardage or injury, will not be charged against the legal three time outs. Clock starts on the referee'S signal.

6. When all ball carriers are tackled from the hash mark to the sideline; they will run the ball to the hash mark and/or give it to th~ nearest' e , official for placement.

Controlling the clock is vital at this time. If you are ahead, you want the clock to keep running', and if you are behind, you want the e Lock to be stopped on every play, and every way possible. It is the responsibility of the signal caller to control the clock and to keep the rest of the team advised. It is important that tQe team know what is expected and how we intend to execute our plan.

Champions are people who can do their best in emergencies which unnerve the ordinary player. The "Clutch" offense requires poise, hustle, proper execution, confidence and the ability of a team or individual to make the critical run or pass go all the way. The perfect utilization of this offense has an important bearing on the final outcome of any contest.

1.- In the "Clutch" offense, other than in the huddle, all playa should be callad from audibles on the LOS. The QB should· alwaya check sideline when possible for play signal.

While in this offense, time becomes our opponent, therefore, we will eliminate motion and shifting to conserve valuable time.

Unless otherwise noted, we will use Tom & Tame formation alignments.

It should be noted that when the QB calls an audible, the backs must shift into the appropriate alignment. Linemen will be down in a three point stance for run and & i point atance for pas ••

1. 2:00 to 1:00 minute. remaining:

a._ Emphasis must be placed on bustle. poise, proper execution and confidence.

b. Do not call time out unless absolutely necessary.

c. All plays must be executed in 15 seconds or less. Use a quick cadence s (We will go on first sound after live audible unless we huddle.)

2. 1:00 to :00 seconds remaining:

&. Utilize time outs, huddle only when clock is stopped.

b. Stop clock whenever possible.

c. Use quick pass series (100's).

d. Use Big Ben on the last play of the game.

II. When the clock stops, the QB will yell" BuddIe" and we will call our plays in the huddle. When the plays are called in the huddle, we will have the ability to use the entire system including regular snap count. When the clock is not stopped, we will call the plays on the LOS using our no-huddle cadence the same as in FUJIMO. The ball will be snapped on the "Hut~ command.

We would like to w.ate aa much time in the huddle and getting to the LOS aa possible. Ideally, we would like the ball to be snapped around 2 seconds left on the clock. The OB will watch the end ~one clock. It should be noted that we are concerned about wasting time when the clock is running. We will run playa that-will give ua a high consiatency of ball control and protection. We want to protect the ball at all coat.s.

NOTES:

A. All shifts will be executed on the directional command and carried out within a silent J count.

B. Shifting players start in the same relationship to the LOS as they will end up based on formation called.

c. Motion can be added to the end 6f any shift.

D .. The end line TE should not put his hand on the ground.

MOTIOH PROCEDURES

CALLING MOTION IN THE HUDDLE

Any motion may be called in the huddle by using the appropriate letter· for the given position followed by a number. The number indicates where the motion should stop according to our hole numbering system.

The·QB will use the following in calling the appropriate motion: 1. First Call - will be the formation.

1-
2.
. 3.
4.
II s.
6.
7.
8.
9. 2. Second Call - will be the type of motion to be used (which will also identify the specific play and

. motion) •

Example: Right Twin, ZB = Z motion to the B hole.

Right Yae, Y4 s Y motion to the 4 hole.

All motion will be ini:tiated from the formation called in the huddle.

the initiation of the motion will begin with a heel lift or head nod by the QB to the side from which the motion will originate.

The person going in motion may not leave until everyone is set fer one full second.

The tempo and length of the motion is the ·responsibility of the man in motion, not the QB.

Key outside receivers for 7isual cue of when the ball is snapped.

Any Y motion requires that both wide receivers be on the LOS. Anytime any Y motion is called, theY must be off the LOS.

Likewise, anytime any X mption is called, X must be off the LOS.

When a receiver (H,Y,F,T,X,Z) motions across the center to the opposite "A" gap and reverses h~~ field back towards his original alignment, is defined as "Spin". Example.: Rt Edge Spin H-4.

DEFENSIVE RECOGHI%IOH

We will name the defensive paraonnal in the followinq manner: In a 3 lineman scheme, the.defender who linea up on the center or ona of the guarda will ba ~ermed the Nosa (N); the other two lineman will be referred to .s End. (E) •

. In a 4 lineman schema, the interior 2 linemen will be ca.llad Tackles (T) and the flankinq lineman will remain as End. (Z).

DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENT NUMBERING SYSTEM AND GAP DESIGNATION

Wa ha~e assiqned .pecific terms to indicate exactly where the defender is aliqnad on u.. By u.inq tha followinq .-yatem, we can detarmi.ne exactly where our opponent ill aliqned on us with a minimal amount of dallcription.

1. NUmbered alignments are defined as an eye to eye relationship between us and the defender.

. .

.2. -LoOBe" alignments refer to the defender aligned with his inside foot opposite your outside foot.

3. -Gap" placea the defender squarely in the Gap with a part of hia body

overlapping your.. . -

4. -Wide- rafer. to a defender on the line of .crimmaqe in a quick force poeition.

S. ·Shad.· place. the no •• guard on the canter, favorinq the tiqht .nd .ide. 6. ·Weak" placea the n088 guard on the center, favorinq the split end side.

.~.

In referring to our opponents' defensive front alignments, we are concerned

with three thinga, 1) the middle of our formation; 2) the three linemen .~, and 3) the two linemen aide.

Ql!PLOYHEHT

At oregon, we will express these alignments by uaing a double digit numb.r and a term (Example, S6 Reduced). The .equenca wUl name the total front and the middle, the three man Bide, the two ~ .id ••

HIPPLE

Defensive front. can be grouped into three general categories relative to the defensive look that we encounter over our Center. Our thinking is' that the Canter can be covered by 1) a linemanl 2) by a linebacker; or 3) by no one at all.

When our Center ill covered by a down lineman, we term this an Q!m defenae.

When it i. a 7-t1l&n front ,it ia called a 50 FROm. When we eee a down lineman on oUr Ce~ter and both guards covered, we will call it a BZAlt/ooUBLE.

When the center i8 opposite a middle linebacker, we consider this an ~ defense and call it a 40 [R0NT.

When there is no defender' opposite the area between the Center'. feet, it generally indicates that there are four men to one or both ~ides of the center.

If the defense ia an overahifted 7-man front, it is termed a 20 TRONT. If the defense is an undershifted a-man front, it is called an 80 FRONT.

In the bale system the center ha, "0", the quards have "I" to their side, tackles "·2" to their 'ide lind tight end, have "·3" to their 'ide.

, '.

When referring to our bese rules, 'wIe 111",a':l' start 'With 'Whet':s over the center and count out. The Nose 'Will be counted as ·0"; if he is overshif1ed or undenhifted as in

8 20 or 80 reepectivel \J. 'he remlti ns '0'. Once the nese moves to II ',plit' look, the Mi Ice becomes ·0". In an Even or 40 leek, the Mike 13 counted a' zero.

The guards are reepcnetble for the tint man past zero. In steck ,ituations, defenders

on the LOS are counted fi rst, then lBers. .

The tackles have the secend man out from "O"lIgain counting do\{n lineman fir,t in :staclc situations.

Tight ends have the third men out ceuntt n9 the serne 'wI8Y 8' the guard, and tackles,
