2. Elmhurst College Spread Offense Why the Spread? –Multiple formations with same personnel –Match ups in the run game –Match ups in the pass game RB on LB TE on DB – blocking for bubble screen –Make the DEs and OLBs play football –Get ball in playmaker’s hands in open space

3. Why No Huddle? Controls Tempo Control personnel and substitution Eliminates many disguises/Stems Gives time to change a play More practice reps Makes conditioning a factor earlier in game No rules on how many guys you can have on the field

4. TEMPOS Green –Not a lot of terminology and a lot of calls Gap protection Quick screen Full Zone –One formation and three plays Uno/Dos/Tres Apple/Banana/Cherry –Look at the defense, if tired/fatigued –After a big play or first down Yellow Red –Simulate/Scan Series
