We are a spread option team and we faced the following look last night. We won 12-6 but we had to grind it out. We normally run for 300 yards a game and we were held to 165 yards rushing. They run a variation of the 3-3-5 defense.
The NG is in a 0 Tech with a stacked LB over top. He plays FB as well.
Both Ends are in 4i techniques and they crash through the B gap for the FB dive.
The Strong and weakside LB's align over the slots at 3-4 yards. They play QB on Veer and Midline options.
The strong and weak spurs align two yards outside of the the slots and they play dump to pitch.
The Corners align inside of the split ends at 4 yards and have them man to man.
The FS is aligned at 10 over the ball and he fills the alley on option runs for the dump pass to the Qb to the Pitch.
We were able to run some midline but it wasn't as easy as it looked on paper. Obviously by alignment, you have a hard time getting the ball outside.
We did align in heavy (tackle over) and run Belly G at them and midline but that was about all that was consistent in the running game. Interesting front....I had never seen anything like this and I am interested in hearing your thoughts.
