"Who We Are"
1. 2-Back Run / Play-Action from the Gun team. 2. Keep constant pressure on the Defense by running at a 2-minute pace. You must train to do it! 3. Balanced attack; misdiretion in running and passing. 4. Stretch the field vertically and horizontally. 5. Throw the book at them with Specials / Fire Alarms / Wildcat Package
The play call sheet is unique. There is the normal Down & Distance calls, but built in Landmark calls as well. What play to call on the +40 at the Left Hash, etc. The landmarks can trigger a play call, and they are prepared before the game rather than in the heat of the moment. The first 9 plays are scripted. On Wednesday, they begin running these 9 plays vs. Air, twice per practice. Run them vs. the Defense on Thursday. Be perfect on Friday. The Receivers and the Running Backs get the call from the sidelines. The Quarterback echos the call to the Offensive Line. For Tulsa's signals, a color will tell players whether to look at a play-call number on the board, or to look at the signal guy. One of them is always a dummy. Right and Left will confuse the players, so they use "Spread OVER THERE or OVER HERE" to indicate the sideline or boundary to go to.
The Formation dicates personnel that are supposed to be on the field. Players know when they see the formation being signalled if they are involved in the play or not.
