Triple Option Football Academy Playbook: Four Verticals out of Trips versus Quarters Coverage
January 4, 2014
Four Verticals is a tremendously effective concept for Triple Option Teams because they blow the top off the defensive coverage.
A common way to defend the Triple Option is Quarters Coverage. This is the most common way colleges defend the Triple Option so that they don’t sacrifice pass coverage for run support.
Here’s how Four Verticals is run Versus Quarters Coverage.
Trips Vert Right.
The Quarterback will throw the ball to the Middle Receiver here.
The Offensive Line slides away from the call, both receivers run fades, the Playside A runs a vertical because the Middle of the Field is closed, and the B-Back blocks the 1st threat off the Playside Tackle.
The Quarterback 5-step drops and throws the ball to the Middle Receiver.
