Clock Management

We spend 15-20 minutes each Thursday on "2 Minute Offense" (day before the game). This PROBABLY isn't enough - but since we are a pure Pro-Style dropback pass team - we are in effect in a 2 minute offense all of the time (except we USUALLY huddle when not in "2 MIN" & the clock is running). The work = all CLOCK MANAGEMENT - NOT SEPERATE PLAYS (run our base offense)!

"2 Minute Slow down mode" controlled from sidelines. Here are the guidelines:

If opponent has 0 time outs left, & you have just made a first down, it looks like this:

1st & 10 - take delay penalty----------25 seconds

1st & 15 - run a play---------------------5 seconds

Official spots ball-------------------------5 seconds

2nd & 15 - take a delay penalty-------25 seconds

2nd & 20 - run a play--------------------5 seconds

Official spots ball-------------------------5 seconds

3rd & 20 - take a delay penalty-------25 seconds

3rd & 25 - run a play--------------------5 seconds

Official spots ball-------------------------5 seconds

4th & 25 - take a delay penalty--------25 seconds

4th & 30 - run a play---------------------5 seconds

TOTAL TIME KILLED: 135 SECNDS (2 minutes & 15 seconds)
