GoalsGoals1. To outscore our opponent. VICTORY!
2. To score six times a game.

Offensive ObjectivesOffensive Objectives1. 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 Platteville Football.
3. ELIMINATION OF SIW’s: 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
30’s30’sOur 3-step passing game is the 30’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. The basic concepts do not apply to the 30’s. 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 Panther.

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.

Vertical Concept Vertical Concept * 1-2 ** 1-2 *
“1-2” signify 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. This concept will be used against any kind of coverage we see, whether it is Man-to-Man, any zone concept.

Smash Concept Smash Concept * 3-4 ** 3-4 *
The Smash Concept 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 flag 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. This concept is good against Cover 2 primarily, but we can and will use it vs. Cover 3 and Man-to-Man defenses.

This Route Package may or may not change the route combination. The QB will semi role to the call. The receivers’ routes will most likely be deeper since the QB is rolling to them. The back-side receiver’s routes will change into a crossing concept on different levels. We may also use throwbacks to keep the defense honest.

We like to tag a double move route to our base plays to keep the defense honest. Our shake route is a corner post. The receiver will push vertical and then break to the corner for three steps, then plant and break to the post. The other double move we employ is a Go route. This can be tagged off a slant and a post. The receiver will push vertical and break the slant/post for two steps then break back to the outside.

Goal Line OffenseGoal Line Offense
In goal line and short yardage situations we will use a tight end formation. We have the ability to use two tight ends and adjust our backfield to a one or two back set. Out of this formation we can still run our basic passing package. We will use four or five basic running plays. The key to success in this formation is aggressive blocking and the mentality that we are going to get the first down or touchdown.

““Trail”Trail”
This Route Package utilizes a Crossing route with an Angle route behind it. This is very good in short yardage and against teams that want to wall off our shallow crossing package. Like Follow, we tag one player and Trail. Trail tells the next player outside that he will be doing the crossing route. So in Trips right, if we say W Trail, the next WR outside, Y, would be doing the crossing Route. This is also a front-side and back-side tag.

ShiftShiftShifting is a type of motion we will use to change our alignments before
the ball is snapped. Shifts and Motions different because when we shift all players will reset before the ball is snapped. We use shifts in our offense for specific, defined purposes some of which include:
1. To disguise our intentions/delay defensive recognition
2. To create personnel advantages
3. To create coverage problems or checks
4. To force the coverage to bump, changing personnel and alignment
The basics of our shifts, like our motions, will be first in the play call. All shift are player specific. We will designate WHO we want shift and WHAT shift we want. The QB will control when he wants the shift. It is vital to our offense that our WRs, RBs, and QBs know who will be shifting their alignments on each call.

Mesh Concept Mesh Concept * 0 East/West ** 0 East/West *
Our “0” concept is known as the Mesh Concept, 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. Since “0” is only a single number, East and West will be used to identify the formation strength, with East being right and West being left.
