The Load Scheme in the Triple Option Offense
November 4, 2013
When you hear the word “Load” in the Triple Option, this refers to the Playside A-back’s assignment when #3 is in the middle of the field.
In the Triple Option Count System #1 is the defensive lineman touching the Playside Tackle, #2 is the box defender on or past #1, #3 is the defender on or past #2 (the near deep defender is not part of the count)
If #3 is in the middle of the field pre-snap, the Playside A-back runs straight ahead to block #3. When #3 invades the personal space of the A-back, the A-back will punch his inside hand through the outside breastplate of #3 and pound the Playside A-back’s arches.
If the Mike runs over-the top of the Playside Tackle, the Playside A-back will punch his inside hand through the outside breastplate of the Mike and pound the Playside A-back’s arches. The Playside Tackle continues to veer to #3.
In high school football, this technique must be utilized in 48 states; however, in Texas and Massachusetts they may cut #3.
Understanding the count system is a non-negotiable aspect of the Triple Option Offense.

The Big Idea in 171 Words
Here’s the problem. If you can’t block defensive linemen, you’ll never move the ball, you’ll never score points, and you’ll never win a game.
You need to understand why this disconnect occurs to overcome it and win.

“I know many coaches would rather install an offense the traditional way by researching it, visiting colleges that run the offense, and then picking coaches for information.
I have used that same strategy, and I know that it takes about three years to really gain an understanding of the offense and get players to execute it at a high level.
Consequently, in the research method, you do not have any collaboration with experts that are readily available when questions arise or resources that have consistency.
We wanted to give our players an offense that they could be successful with immediately.
We also concluded that by the time we visited colleges, bought DVDs, playbooks, and sent players to college camps to gain skills, we would have invested many times the cost of the camp.”
