Wishbone- Set up for power running and deception plays, typical dive and counter running plays up the middle and off tackle. This
will be our primary offense.
I Formation- Set up for sweeps and flat throwing plays. Typical outside sweeps and “screen” style pass. We will use this for our
screen or flat passing and sweeps
6-3 Defense- Used for short yardage situations. Strong run middle and short pass defense. We will use against up middle running.
7-2 Defense- Very strong against the run up middle or sweeps. Weak against outside passing. This will be our primary Defense.
