Oregon Cover 7 Trips Check Cutup vs Ohio State: Seahawk

Clip 1: 0:00
Clip 2: 0:30

Traditionally in Seahawk, the Safety is playing deeper than the deepest, with a 60/40 lean towards 3. However, against Ohio State, you can see that there was more of a 60/40 lean towards 2 when . This was one of the ways that Oregon game-planned for Smith.

In the second clip, vs a Nub (Trey) set, they bring the Poach Safety down, so they can play with a 6 man box.

So Ohio State at 20 with road wins over 9 and 15, road losses to 6 and 18, and a home loss to 16.

Oregon Pressure Path Cutup vs Ohio State: Mac Tom.

1st Clip: 0:00
2nd Clip: 0:40
3rd Clip: 1:10
4th Clip: 1:40

In all four clips, they added some twist to the path.
In the first clip, it was run out of a Boundary Load. The 3T does end up being free off the pick, but the ball be 0 Sticky with the safety and backer funneling the back).

In the second clip, it's run out of an Okie/Under front, with the backer working to pick the Guard to the tilt side.

In the third clip, they use a Crawl call to start from a Mint front and then slide to a Short/Bench front. The pick comes from the boundary backer, with the 2i wrapping. Here, the back and center work to the pick.

In the fourth clip, Oregon runs the pick to the 3T instead of the 2i, which is what they had done in the last two plays, and now they run a Tex Stunt game away from it. The center works to the picking backer, which leaves the wrapping 5T uncovered, and the backer does a great job of ricocheting off the pick to be able to force the QB into the EDGE. Behind it, here it looks like they're playing Dog (2 Man) to the field, and Cone to the boundary.

Pretty exotic 5 MPRS from Oregon this past Saturday with Cover 1 behind it. At the snap it looks like the path will create a double A gap cross down, but the off-ball linebacker continue out to wrap.

Good stuff from Doug Lesmerises here with Ohio State DC Matt Patricia.

He was asked specifically about the first USC TD and the Oregon TD out of halftime. Patricia said he could see at the snap that his defense was out-leveraged on both.

The answer as to why it’s happening…

Can someone explain to me the theory of why you would use your edge defender as the apex player to open trips rather than just rotating the secondary? (MoFs rotates down, boundary S rotates up, etc) so that you can push the front back to the nub run strength?

This was quite a sequence for your 5th year, multi year starting C in Hinzman—whiff on this block, shrug at the sideline, then next play snap it over the QB’s head.

It’s been unpopular to defend Arthur Smith this year, but even coming off what I thought was his worst day calling play- the OSU offense’s problem is execution, not play calling. He’s gotta fix it as the leader of the O, but the position coaches need to coach guys to execute

OSU couldn’t ID how to fit counter all game.

4 Down Split Field Quarters with a pirate game that breaks the protection and forces the QB to flush into the boundary from Oregon Defense vs Ohio State. Slot Fade to the field with the Nickel carrying (Stubbie) and Cone (Bracket) to the boundary.

ask Michigan fans about how easy it is to just have perfectly cromulent QBs lying around when it turns out your QB1 is broken or defective

Penny Drop 8 Tampa Variation from Ohio State versus Oregon this past Saturday. MRT gets drained out. Couple different ways to play this, depth in the seam helps every scenario, the deep 1/2 player can also cut the MRT off and allow him to take this Dig back once the route is to more Breakdowns, Cut-ups, playbooks and All-22 inside the Coaches Circle and Video Library.

I’d probably tag this as cover 3. B2BZ both sides and he takes 2 thru the zone to the field, corner midpoints. Just with an off/sticks tag so the DBs are on the roof.

Less would be way more

Overlap technique vs pull away

17 is good

It is the lack of a cutback player that is the schematic issue

I know you’ve said you don’t like OSU in 12 but they can actually run a pretty decent training wheels O for Fahey getting UC and running the OZ package basics. Can do that in 11 too ofc.

Seemed like Day didn’t want to simplify the O enough tho for sure.

This double mug look with no one outside the RT was the coup de grâce. Try to cancel a gap in the backfield, but 1 gets knocked off his path and it’s over.

Yes Oregon is using tempo, but OSU isn’t been able to align properly against unbalanced looks for two years now.

My only explanation is that the DC wants to make the players look bad.
