1. ATTACK: We will play a fast break, up-tempo attack. We will force each opponent to react and adjust to our offense. We will always use intelligence and conditioning to our advantage.
2. GATA: We will “GET AFTER THEIR ASS!” This is the cornerstone principle of Gun ~N~ Run Football.
3. ELIMINATION OF TURNOVERS: It’s tough enough to beat your opponent. Take away the negative plays to ensure that we don’t beat ourselves. TURNOVER RATIO is the number one factor in winning and losing college football games.
4. SCORE: The object of our offense is to score. We will score first, fast, and we will finish the fourth quarter. We will maximize the Red Zone and we will take advantage of every turnover that our defense creates by scoring points.
5. TEAM: Foremost, we must be come a true team. On and off the field, we act as one, united as a whole group, where together we can accomplish greatness.

The Quick GameThe Quick Game
Girl’sGirl’sOur 3-step passing game is the Girl’s series. This is the
“BREAD AND BUTTER” of our offense. We will throw it at anytime, anywhere on the field. We prefer to use it against covers 3 and 1 or against the blitz. This is a high percentage series. The completion should be 80% - 85%. These are the only “pass plays” we teach. We can run these plays out of most of our formations, but a majority of the time we like to run them from Doubles, Trips, or Spread.

MotionMotion
Motion is the second part of how we get aligned before we want the ball snapped. We use motion in our offense for specific, defined purposes. The basics of our motions will be first in the play call. A player and a type of motion will be the few words before the play. We will designate WHO we want to be in motion and we will designate WHAT type of motion we want. The QB will control final destination with the snap count. It is vital to our offense that our WRs, RBs, and QBs know who has to be on the line of scrimmage and who has to be off.

‘Q’ Receiver: within all of our passing concepts, we will have a player built in that will break off his route so the QB has a quick option against the blitz. The QB and WRs must always know who is the Q and who makes him adjust his route.

Mesh Concept Mesh Concept * Xena ** Xena *
Our Mesh concept is known as Xena, and it attacks the underneath edge of coverage very rapidly, many times from a tightened environment. This concept creates multiple “rubs” by incorporating different crossing routes. Our Mesh Concept is a quick rhythm concept, whose primary purpose is to attack man-to-man defense by creating match-up problems and multiple rubs. With this in mind we also have a zone better built into the mesh concept. This concept, we believe, attacks most of the defenses we will face.

Our Shallow Concept is known as Amy, and it attacks the middle of the field coverage very rapidly, many times from a tightened environment. This concept creates pressure on the linebackers with high/low crossing routes. Our Shallow Concept is a quick rhythm concept, whose primary purpose is to attack the middle of the field by creating match-up problems and multiple levels. We can also tag any receiver on the field to run the shallow. This concept, we believe, attacks most of the defenses we will face.

Smash ConceptSmash Concept*Judy**Judy*
The Smash Concept, which we call Judy, is one of the best ways we have of putting pressure on two deep coverage by creating situations where the cornerback cannot cover two people; he will see a six yard hitch in front of him and have a deeper-developing corner route behind him. Depending on the coverage and situation, we can use it to attack down the field on the deep outside edge, or underneath as a ball-control pass. To the single receiver side, the X will run the corner and the Z will run the flat route.

Vertical ConceptVertical Concept*Fleeta**Fleeta*
Fleeta signifies the Vertical Concept in our offense. This concept allows our offense to attack and stretch the defense toward the end zone. The vertical passing game is a staple of our offense. We normally will designate our areas of attack as 18-22 yards down the field. The specific parts of the field that this concept attacks include: 4yards outside of the numbers on each side of the field, 2 yards outside each hash mark, and in some cases directly down the middle of the field. We will also have a lower level control route; the Z will run this route unless we tag another receiver to run it. This concept will be used against any kind of coverage we see, whether it is Man-to-Man, or any zone concept.

The Flat/Curl Concept is used to stretch the defense horizontally. This concept is called Curly in our offense. We like to stretch a flat defender to the sideline and replace him with a receiver behind him. At the same time we will control the middle of the field with a short control route. This creates a triangle of receivers for the QB to read. This concept allows us to attack an area 12 yards down the field on the hashes and the area 5 yards deep on the numbers. Lastly the control route enables us to attack the middle of the field at a depth of five yards. This concept is best at attacking both Cover 3 and Cover 4.
