Offensive Goals

• Goals
• To outscore our opponent. VICTORY!
• To score six times a game.
• To out-hit and punish every defense we face.
• To average 400 yards of total offense.
• To be one of the Top 5 DIII offenses in the
  nation.

Offensive Objectives

• ATTACK We will play a fast break, up-tempo
  attack. We will force each opponent to react and
  adjust to our offense. We will always use
  intelligence and conditioning to our advantage.
• GATA We will GET AFTER THEIR ASS! This is
  the cornerstone principle of Platteville
  Football.
• ELIMINATION OF SIWs Its tough enough to beat
  your opponent. Take away the negative plays to
  ensure that we dont beat ourselves. TURNOVER
  RATIO is the number one factor in winning and
  losing college football games.
• SCORE The object of our offense is to score. We
  will score first, fast, and we will finish the
  fourth quarter. We will maximize the Red Zone and
  we will take advantage of every turnover that our
  defense creates by scoring points.
• TEAM Foremost, we must be come a true team. On
  and off the field, we act as one, united as a
  whole group, where together we can accomplish
  greatness.

Philosophy

• Attitude
• Spread the Field
• Multiple Looks for the Defense
• Throw to Uncovered Receivers
• Hurt the Blitz
• Game Planning

5
Attitude

• A.M.F.
• Play with poise through the good and the bad.
• Score one more point than our opponent.
• Out hit and out physical our opponent.

6
Spread the Field

• Use Formations and Motions
• Forces the defense to declare their coverage and
  blitzes.
• Easier for the quarterback to read coverage.
• Helps the run game (5 to 6 simple plays).
• Create mismatches.

7
Multiplicity

• Different Looks for the Defense
• Secondary Different Formations, Motions,
  Routes.
• Linebackers Run Game, Play Action, Screens,
  Drop-back.
• D-Line Basic Run Game, 3 to 4 Protections,
  Screens

8
Uncovered Principle

• Make Them Cover You Up
• By Alignment, Motion, and Shifts.
• By Bubble Screen.
• This forces defensive adjustments that help in
  protection and in running game.

9
Uncovered Principle

• Rules
• Any receiver that is not covered up and can catch
  the ball and gain 4 yards.
• Only throw on 1st and 2nd downs or on 3rd down
  with less than 5 yards to go.

10
Uncovered Receivers - Orange

• Throwing Uncovered
• The receiver may widen his alignment or switch
  his stance.
• The QB will catch the snap and get the ball to
  receiver as quick as possible
• The receiver show his numbers to the QB, secure
  the ball, run to daylight.
• All other receivers will block the most dangerous
  man.

11
Uncovered Receivers - Orange

• Throwing Uncovered

12
Uncovered Bubble - Silver

• Foot Race to the Sidelines
• Used mostly in a trips formation
• No cut-back, until you get to the numbers
• Receivers block the most dangerous man

13
Uncovered Bubble - Silver

• Throwing Uncovered Bubble
• The QB catches the snap, delivers the ball on the
  up-field shoulder, fades back after the throw.
• The receiver will have his inside foot up in his
  stance and runs the bubble, secures the ball,
  runs to the sidelines.

The Quick Game

• 30s
• Our 3-step passing game is the 30s series. This
  is the BREAD AND BUTTER of our offense. We
  will throw it at anytime, anywhere on the field.
  We prefer to use it against covers 3 and 1 or
  against the blitz. This is a high percentage
  series. The completion should be 80 - 85.
  These are the only pass plays we teach. The
  basic concepts do not apply to the 30s. We can
  run these plays out of most of our formations,
  but a majority of the time we like to run them
  from Doubles, Trips, or Panther.

Motion

• Motion is the second part of how we get aligned
  before we want the ball snapped. We use motion
  in our offense for specific, defined
  purposes. The basics of our motions will be first
  in the play call. A player and a type of motion
  will be the few words before the play. We will
  designate WHO we want to be in motion and we will
  designate WHAT type of motion we want. The QB
  will control final destination with the snap
  count. It is vital to our offense that our WRs,
  RBs, and QBs know who has to be on the line of
  scrimmage and who has to be off.

42
Q Receiver

• Q Receiver within all of our passing
  concepts, we will have a player built in that
  will break off his route so the QB has a quick
  option against the blitz. The QB and WRs must
  always know who is the Q and who makes him adjust
  his route.

Vertical Concept 1-2

• 1-2 signify the Vertical Concept in our
  offense. This concept allows our offense to
  attack and stretch the defense toward the end
  zone. The vertical passing game is a staple of
  our offense. We normally will designate our
  areas of attack as 18-22 yards down the field.
  The specific parts of the field that this concept
  attacks include 4yards outside of the numbers
  on each side of the field, 2 yards outside each
  hash mark, and in some cases directly down the
  middle of the field. We will also have a lower
  level control route. This concept will be used
  against any kind of coverage we see, whether it
  is Man-to-Man, any zone concept.

Smash Concept 3-4

• The Smash Concept is one of the best ways we have
  of putting pressure on two deep coverage by
  creating situations where the cornerback cannot
  cover two people he will see a six yard hitch in
  front of him and have a deeper-developing flag
  route behind him. Depending on the coverage and
  situation, we can use it to attack down the field
  on the deep outside edge, or underneath as a
  ball-control pass. This concept is good against
  Cover 2 primarily, but we can and will use it vs.
  Cover 3 and Man-to-Man defenses.

• This Route Package may or may not change the
  route combination. The QB will semi role to the
  call. The receivers routes will most likely be
  deeper since the QB is rolling to them. The
  back-side receivers routes will change into a
  crossing concept on different levels. We may
  also use throwbacks to keep the defense honest.

Double Moves

• We like to tag a double move route to our base
  plays to keep the defense honest. Our shake
  route is a corner post. The receiver will push
  vertical and then break to the corner for three
  steps, then plant and break to the post. The
  other double move we employ is a Go route. This
  can be tagged off a slant and a post. The
  receiver will push vertical and break the
  slant/post for two steps then break back to the
  outside.

Goal Line Offense

• In goal line and short yardage situations we will
  use a tight end formation. We have the ability
  to use two tight ends and adjust our backfield to
  a one or two back set. Out of this formation we
  can still run our basic passing package. We will
  use four or five basic running plays. The key to
  success in this formation is aggressive blocking
  and the mentality that we are going to get the
  first down or touchdown.

• Strong Tells R to align between the front-side
  Guard and Tackle.
• Weak Tells R to align between the back-side
  Guard and Tackle.
• Gun Tells the QB we are in shotgun and the
  backs to align in split backs.
• Wing Tells the Y to align 1 by 1 off the
  front-side tackle.
• Over Tells the back-side Tackle to align
  outside the front-side tackle.

Trail

• This Route Package utilizes a Crossing route with
  an Angle route behind it. This is very good in
  short yardage and against teams that want to wall
  off our shallow crossing package. Like Follow,
  we tag one player and Trail. Trail tells the
  next player outside that he will be doing the
  crossing route. So in Trips right, if we say W
  Trail, the next WR outside, Y, would be doing the
  crossing Route. This is also a front-side and
  back-side tag.

Shift

• Shifting is a type of motion we will use to
  change our alignments before the ball is snapped.
  Shifts and Motions different because when we
  shift all players will reset before the ball is
  snapped. We use shifts in our offense for
  specific, defined purposes some of which include
  
• To disguise our intentions/delay defensive
  recognition
• To create personnel advantages
• To create coverage problems or checks
• To force the coverage to bump, changing personnel
  and alignment
• The basics of our shifts, like our motions, will
  be first in the play call. All shift are player
  specific. We will designate WHO we want shift and
  WHAT shift we want. The QB will control when he
  wants the shift. It is vital to our offense that
  our WRs, RBs, and QBs know who will be shifting
  their alignments on each call.

Mesh Concept 0 East/West

• Our 0 concept is known as the Mesh Concept, and
  it attacks the underneath edge of coverage very
  rapidly, many times from a tightened environment.
  This concept creates multiple rubs by
  incorporating different crossing routes. Our
  Mesh Concept is a quick rhythm concept, whose
  primary purpose is to attack man-to-man defense
  by creating match-up problems and multiple rubs.
  With this in mind we also have a zone better
  built into the mesh concept. This concept, we
  believe, attacks most of the defenses we will
  face. Since 0 is only a single number, East and
  West will be used to identify the formation
  strength, with East being right and West being
  left.

• This Route Package is a reverse Flat-Curl package
  on the front-side. This is good versus 2-Deep
  coverage. The Split End runs a whip route, and
  the wing runs a hook route. The wing wraps the
  LB. He must find the window. The R-Back sits
  down over the box.
