![]() ![]() I’m not sure how long Coach Cavanuagh instructs his guys to hold their blocks, but a 2 count is pretty standard on a slip screen. Third, the C and LG need to get out clean to pick up any backside defenders rallying to the ball. By doing so, the RB is responsible to set up the block off the LB’s loop to get around the RG. Instead, turn it loose and make that LB pick a direction to run AROUND you. The 300lb guy is never going to win that battle. Here, he tries to break down and chase the ROLB. Second, you want to see your RG, in this case Kondolo, get a clean run on the alley defender. Slow into the line gives the defensive end time to get upfield, giving you a natural space to run flat to the sideline. Newby gets caught up in the action blocking that lineman, preventing him from getting out to run the rail. In this case, Newby works through the line of scrimmage too fast, giving the defensive lineman to that side a run look and causing him to peel off his pass rush. First, and most important, the back needs to be patient working through the line of scrimmage to sell pass protection and then “run the rail” working directly to the sideline rather than fading forward or backward from the line of scrimmage. In particular, you want to see three things on this play. In this case, the execution breaks down, resulting in an incompletion. If the LOLB and MLB react to the bubble, it gives Utter (LG), Reeves (C) and Kondolo (RG) a chance to get out in front of the slip screen working against the SS, CB, and ROLB. If they overplay the slip screen, it leaves Jordan Westerkamp with a one-on-one matchup against the FS in the open field. In this particular play, the MLB, LOLB and SS are the key defenders. Defenses are taught to rally to the receiver on screen plays, and this play takes advantage of that coaching point by separating the defense right down the middle. To the other side, Langsdorf called a slip screen to Terrell Newby. On one side, Nebraska drew up a bubble screen to Jordan Westerkamp, the Z receiver. Let’s take a look at a couple of his core concepts in the screen game.īeyond the smoke screen that Nebraska ran early in the game, BYU’s next introduction to the Huskers’ screen game was a double screen designed to put BYU’s middle-of-the-field defenders in conflict. ![]() After learning early that inside zone wasn’t going to work against Travis Tuiloma, BYU’s monster nose tackle, Langsdorf began to heavily work the screen game to help remove defenders from the box and get Tommy Armstrong comfortable with easy throws. By my count, Nebraska ran 6 different variations of the screen against BYU. Beyond Nebraska fans’ introduction to jet motion and the sweep, Mike Riley and Danny Langsdorf’s robust screen package was also another major change from 2014 and Tim Beck’s offense.
