West Virginia 3-Pack

with Rich Rodriguez,
West Virginia University Head Coach;
and Rick Trickett,
West Virginia University Assistant Head Coach & Offensive Line Coach

Head Coach Rich Rodriguez and Assistant Head Coach Rick Trickett give an excellent demonstration of their inside run package within their explosive spread offense. This offense is an excellent way to stretch the defense both horizontally and vertically in addition to controlling tempo. In this video, they walk you through two key inside running plays - the zone and inside trap. Each play is shown against both odd and even defenses, with either three or four wide receivers and from either a shotgun or under center formation. Block and read responsibilities for every position are interspersed with key coaching points.

Coach Rodriguez and Coach Magee detail their successful outside run package for the spread offense. Three key plays are demonstrated - speed option, sweep and reverse. Each play is diagrammed against even and odd defenses with various receiver packages. These plays are run from both a shotgun as well as under center formations in pro, I and one-back sets. Blocking and read responsibilities for every position is detailed and each play is complemented with game footage.

Includes a foreword by Rich Rodriguez West Virginia Head Coach,

The Mountaineers finished the 2001 season ranked 104th in NCAA Division I rushing defense . in 2002, they implemented the 3-3 Odd Stack Defense and finished the year ranked 11th in rushing defense! The 3-3 Stack is a rush-oriented defense that is simple to run, gives your defense more second level players (making it easier to see and get to the ball), the odd-man front confuses offenses and creates problems for blocking schemes and it's great for teams with smaller personnel on defense. Casteel and Kirelawich give you everything you need to start running the 3-3 Stack: personnel suggestions, alignments, responsibilities, and techniques. They present all of the principles of the defense with detailed diagrams and practice footage. An excellent defensive overview!
