Georgia Tech Head Football Coach Paul Johnson on the Quarterback and B-Back’s Role with the Triple Option
November 26, 2014
From the Nike Clinic
B-Back
- 1st step at inside of Playside Guard then run through football.
- Read block of first down inside linemen to go inside or out.
Quarterback
- Open and jump to get two steps into the ground… fast feet to make the most accurate read.
- Make read on #1 by determining whether or not he is tackling the B-Back.
- If so, reseed the ball, transfer weight to front foot, step around the B-Back, and get downhill.
- The Quarterback is the RUNNER–Score and if #2 comes to get you, pitch the ball.
Additional note: If #1 and #2 come hard (blood stunt)–step back and pitch the ball.
