Todd Monken’s tight bunch package: Duo, Crack Toss, Split Flow IZ, Shot Plays
Took advantage of their versatile TE room & had answers for all fronts / shells…Also used RPO to target backside 1v1

They averaged 11.6 yards on 20 reps of their vertical switch concept - usually tempo’d after a chunk play

PSU repping a triple option RPO from split backs. New but expected wrinkle w/ 2 🐶’s at RB.
They didn’t use 20 personnel once in 2022 and only used 21p twice and even when they did that there was a RB aligned in the slot

I feel confident saying the 2022 Lions had the most versatile/unique (gap scheme) run game in recent memory.
Small sample all from 1 game:
1. Crunch (Interior Trap + Wham)
2. Crack Toss w/ fast motion lead
3. Tackle Trap
4. UNDER CENTER GT Ctr 🚨

Penn State loved the Snag Concept to the boundary in 2022. Fulfills
@Coach_Yurcich
‘s quick game philosophy of “get a completion”.
The juke variation helped give a man/match answer and the spike was a good RZ tool
Common backside concepts: lion, fade/out, rub

Let’s clear the air. This was not a fake-kneel-down-to-cover-24.5. This is a shot play built off Q Pwr/Ctr. Mostly ran as RPO, but PSU just full slide/trap passes this to avoid possible illegal man downfield
💰 against split field cov & great situational tendency breaker

Penn State running pin & pull in 2022:
- 10.5 YPP
- loved it out of 3x1 Nub & 2x2 deuce sets
- liked to pair w/ access bubble, Y Pop (seam)
- 💰 against a 4 down that plays corner over to trips nub

Chip Kelly’s auxiliary run game is always fun to watch (I’m aware some of these are “throws”).
They compliment UCLA’s exterior zone runs by going against flow & adding little extra teaching

Penn State avg 5.5 YPC on 35 reps of Duo in 2022
They ran it from all UC/Pistol/Gun and found multiple ways to get to an unbalanced surface (bunch, 12p wing) … press & bounce technique by RBs scored them many chunk plays
Built in shot plays and “spider” boots to compliment

12p first level RPO. Gets big on little on the perimeter (without setting off any alarms by being split out wide) and puts 7 technique in conflict in unorthodox way. Also think the double arc provides easier blocking angles
Yurcich used this one v OSU last year as well

PSU ran this Glance/Bubble RPO 17 times in 2022. 1-Hi killer.
Look for it to return early on Saturday vs WVU - clean read starting on Will LB to flat defender. Great to get young QB in rhythm early. Will be interesting to see what changes in the RPO game with Allar

QB Drew Allar 🤝 Pure Progressions
- resets eyes with feet as he moves from 1-2-3
- No need for coverage recognition in PP’s
Was able to put some great reps on tape last year to give Yurcich something to build off. Expect a lot of backside drive/bow/cross concepts in ‘23

More creativity in Detroits gap schemes. They do it all.
1) Under C Buck Sweep from double tight I
2) Interior Trap Flip to WR from empty condensed
3) Using Crack Toss action (which they run a sh*t ton of) to leave slant window gaping
This offense is layered & cohesive

🚨 New Concept
CT Counter Bash
As an offense that introduced GT this season, this was prob a weekly adjustment to prevent the center from having to block all the way back to the 3t. Guard has better angle
Hindsight says this should’ve been a pull read but hard to fault Allar

Examples of how empty creates ANSWERS for QBs
1) bndry stick concept, easy completion against 2-hi shells // now screen to field if D doesn’t get 2 over 2 // power up front against favorable box matchup
Defense cannot be right ‼️
Empty could be the difference for this O

Very pleased with the design of the dropback game yesterday. Pure Progression right to left. Coverage doesn’t matter although can be tricky against pressure in true 5 man protection.

Penn State averaged 5 YPP on 9 Jet Sweeps in 2022 🥴 There was good design on a couple of though..
- FSG false pull from 12p empty + 2 arc blockers
- Pistol 3x1 Nub with TE arc blocking and OL zoning away

PSU tried their hand at America’s RPO (post/wheel/flat) in 2022.
Of the 4 attempts, only 1 completion - Clifford to himself
I look for it to return in ‘23. Very little new install required: OL/RB/TE run IZ Read Slip & perimeter is simply tagged post/wheel

Most impressive play of the night
OL Full Slide Left ⏪️ leaves free runner in right D-Gap

Window dressing, but this is just Keeper Slide to the right. Allar gets to the ‘late’ flat after two defenders go w/ the slide

Matt Canada has some STONES for calling fly sweep in this situation.
- leaves the 6 tech unblocked as the TE bluffs and arc releases to the second level
-6T squeezes down following zone flow
But imagine your TE gets hitsticked and fumbles w the game on the line

Long Trap to TE side effectively works out identically to counter. Instead of a traditional wrapper, the extra down block provides the PSLB block needed to spring it. Also helps the kick out block with the DE needing to widen his technique.

Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen had almost identical conceptual usage in ‘22. TBH I expected different - Allen seemed like the main gap scheme back & excelled in running behind pullers (hence the only difference: counter). Big ups to Yurcich for doing this w/ 2 young backs

Love same side gap runs as a tendency breaker - especially when D sets the front based on back alignment. Create ideal angles for pin and pull

Double move off Double Fin 7 concept that Canada loves. Probably wish you had the regular concept called here - same play Pickens scored on to beat LV. D-Coordinators have said that is the hardest concept to defend. # 3 breaks to corner or seam based on safeties leverage
