Assumption is one of the premiere teams in the MAC. They are an extremely well
disciplined and fundamentally sound team.
They base their offense out of the Markham Double Wing, but have become multiple and
have various threats to utilize with the left-handed scrambling Joe Conklin at QB.
If Conklin is allowed to get his drops and find cutback lanes, we will have serious problem
We have to stay aggressive and play our assignments across the board.

They run a majority of their offense to the TE side and their passing game to the split side
Their kicker is a major D1 prospect with a cannon foot of 50+ yard punts and sets up at 1

Defensive Game Plan

We will look to keep our base (6) defense this week with a minor wrinkle.
Expect to run with
63 Eagle / Invert / Tight / Wide / Strong Slant / Angle / EON / TON / Soft (Nose) / Loose (Mike)

In Eagle, Edge will always look to get penetration and jet "B" gap. If guard pulls, he trails from behind and
In Loose, Mike will get a fast read on his guard and scrape based on action.
