Installing the Power Option

with Gerald Brence,
Plano Senior HS (TX) Head Coach;
2X Texas 5A "Coach of the Year"

This DVD looks at the basics of installing the power option, the play that has helped Plano Senior High win three 5A Texas state championships. Coach Brence diagrams 11 plays: Midline, 20 Dive, 20 Dive Option, 25 Down, 54 Over, 70 Draw, Counter Option, 99 Sweep, 18/19 Sweep, 48/49 Sweep and Plano's signature play, the Tight End Load. Topics covered include the importance of being able to run the ball inside to keep the defense honest, with three plays for the fullback: Midline, 20 Dive and 20 Dive Option. Misdirect and set up the passing game with three inside running plays for the tailback: 25 Down, 54 Over and the momentum changing 70 Draw. Finally Brence draws up his favorite play, the Tight End Load, and two schemes, which feed off it, the Counter Option and the Sweep. All plays are drawn up showing every player's assignment and complemented with actual game footage. Coupled with a strong inside running attack, the power option adds diversity and flexibility that is hard to scout and defend.
