Mastering the Vertical and Boot Passing Game

with Jeff Durden,
James Madison University Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach;
2004 NCAA Division I-AA National Champions

Coach Durden takes you "inside" to learn the ins and outs of one of the most prolific passing games in NCAA Division I-AA football. This offense gives you the ability to throw to a variety of receivers, stretch the field, make positive yards after the catch, and utilize a variety of pass protections. Coach Durden discusses his philosophy, diagrams multiple formations, and explains how this passing game can neutralize zone blitzes. He diagrams reads for the quarterback, running back, slot receiver, tight end, wide receivers, and running backs versus the 4-4, 4-3, 5-2, 4-2, stack, and multiple eight man fronts. Coach Durden demonstrates the simplicity of changing up formations by diagramming the offense using the I-formation, double tight, spread formation, empty set, and versus multiple defensive adjustments. He utilizes game tape to show how the offense looks in action and emphasize how it can be successful against a variety of defensive schemes.
