Big 12 QBs, the NFL, Passing Trees

Tress Gets His Q Package On

Inspired by our abortive effort in utilizing the McCoy/Chiles Q package (which Barking Carnival Readers dubbed The Cluster Flux) word out of Ohio is that we may see Todd Boeckman on the field at the same time as Terrelle Pryor.

Establishing the run

Bob Stoops presents a different challenge to offensive staffs (staves?) preparing to play him. Most teams will try to establish something on offense to open up other, more productive avenues for themselves later in the game.

Auburn fires their offensive coordinator

That didn’t take long. Former OC Tony Franklin was hired away last December from Troy, and now he’s gone after six games.
Two days ago ESPN had an article that said in part “But contrary to some of the scuttlebutt out there among fans, Tuberville isn’t at odds with Franklin and insists that he’s not […]

New offensive wrinkles vs. FAU

We know what a Greg Davis offense looks like. We know what a Greg Davis + Mack Brown offense looks like. But what does Major bring, aside from a churlish, shit-eating grin?

The Future of Offense?

The A-11 offense designed by a couple of coaches in California to help them be competitive against the big private schools in their division.  I present to you the 11 man version of 6 man football:
A-11 Offense - Shift Happens!
Review and discuss.

A Maker Of Plays

There are two kinds of football plays. Some that happen, and some that are made.
