with Mickey Matthews,
James Madison University Head Coach;
2004 NCAA DI-AA National Champions,
2004 AFCA National "Coach of the Year,"
1999 Eddie Robinson Award/DI-AA National "Coach of the Year"

Two-time NCAA Division I-AA National "Coach of the Year" and 2004 NCAA Division I-AA Championship coach Mickey Matthews, shows you the keys to stopping the potent Wing-T attack. Matthews' defenses are perennial powerhouses and showed their mettle again in 2004, ranking 2nd in DI-AA rushing defense and setting an NCAA record with 60 sacks! Matthews diagrams the five key plays that power the Wing-T: The trap, buck sweep, down play, waggle, and key pass. He shows how to effectively defend these plays and how to defend the edges using productive blitzes and stunts. Matthews also discusses his defensive philosophy in great detail along with discussing characteristics players must have for a defense to be successful. This is a great DVD for learning how to stop one of the most powerful offenses in football!
