Easiest way that I can think to describe the reasoning. Reason for why techniques are the way they are on the ends:

Rich Rodriguez was exposed at Michigan for being a terrible head coach that focused upon offense only. The folks at Arizona will find out real quick about Fraud Rod and his merry band of high school coaches he calls assistants when they play teams that are coached well like USC and Oregon.

I run the Wing T, and its like out 82/88 Down and 82/88 Down Option. One question I have is why does the QB reverse out instead of opening up to the FB. Our QB reads our PSG helmet. If it goes in to kick, we give, if it goes out to log, we pull. How can I get more information on Neb. 32 trap and 32 trap option? I run the Wing T, and its like out 82/88 Down and 82/88 Down Option.

Our playcaller identifies the "O" man,(over center), and we count out from there, everyone within about 5 yards from the LOS. We call the gaps, "Blast, Smash, Iso, Power, and Sweep" If TE blocks O or 2, the run is going outside. If TE blocks 3,4, or 5, the inside is the initial target. This is not easily read due to the zone blocking principle,"Where possible, chuck the nearest DL before whacking your real target". Our FB is our best blocker, all other considerations notwithstanding, and our two Tights, who may deploy as WBs or Tights two yards deep in the GT gaps, are the # 2 and 3 blockers. They are the ballcarriers on the power option. The simpler the count, the better.

Another very effective blocking scheme was: LG and LT zone from DRT to Will; FB on DRE; C on #1 to his right; RG pull on Willy; RT pull on CB; TE chuck DLE and shield Sam; Wide onside scuffle #4 and shield #5.
