Best play vs a goaline D

I know that this may seem a bit simple, but in our split back game plan, we've found that the defense has been so focused on our backs, that QB sneak/dive is great for a couple! We also run alot of OTB, so when we think the defense may be catching on, we will false call outside veer in the cadence, and dive the QB.

Load option... this is an option forum, right? It gets the back to the corner quickly.

Non-option, the jet sweep to the TE side is the best play to run.

We get into Power I Right with a split end left. The play that we call is "Power I Right On Me". The QB studies the defense and calls one of the following plays: ISO, IV open side, Load open side, Outside Veer te side. It takes some work with the QB but since we have adopted this approach, I can honestly say that we have probably been around 98% successful after getting inside the 10 yard line.

Everything is based on adjustments to our ISO play. We challenge our kids that we WILL be successful running an ISO with the FB and Power Back leading the Tailback. We have been successful enough that teams tend to make adjustments to stop this play. If there are no adjustments and the QB sees a "bubble" we will run the ISO. If they do adjust then we read the defense. If the QB sees the ISO hole stacked he will look backside. If there is only one defender on the LOS outside of the open side tackle he will check to lead option. If they give us two defenders on or outside of the open side tackle he will check to Inside Veer. To the TE side any time the QB sees a 4/5 and 9 we will run Outside Veer. We only line up in Power I Right so it makes it easier to read everything. It is amazing what some of the D Coordinators that we face will do to stop the ISO. We were in a 3rd and less than one situation a couple of years ago and lined up in our Power I. The defense totally shifted to the ISO gap leaving a hugh hole on the open side. Our QB was smart enough to just run a sneak. Result - 60 yd TD.
As coaches, we also will call a play based on certain alignments, but usually the 4 described above are run.

We usually get in two tights, one wide, with split backs inside the 8 yard line. We pair Outside Veer with Sweep. We look at the 9 technique area. If the 9 plays tight (is reachable), we run the sweep. If the 9 is aligned wide to make the reach block of the TE difficult, we run Outside Veer.

Coach, we like to get into a Twins formation with Near backs. We love to sprint the Z receiver in motion to crack on the weak DE while we run the Buck Sweep to the Twins in the middle of the field. So, when we get on the goaline, we run the same action, but the Z flies through the backfield and we run Belly Option to the TE. We run a bastardized triple read on our Belly (I don't think many teams like to do it like this, but it's worked for us) with the QB reading the block of the pulling PSG. If the PSG's butt is too him when he makes contact, we got the kick out, so we hand it to the FB. If the PSG's butt turns outside, the FB blocks the inside half of the DE, and our QB takes it outside to option the CB (we usually see 6-2 on the goaline).

We like to run the the outside veer a hole wider. Against the 6 man front we will double with the TE and bring the FB and QB mesh outside the DBlTeam and make the DE choose FB or not , we have found most DE will not look for the FB that wide and we get 2 two 3 yds before contact.

The Dream comes true through much effort.
