Georgia Tech Head Football Coach Paul Johnson on Running Triple versus a Three-Man Surface
From the Nike Clinic
- When facing a three-man surface (Triple Stack), take the A-Back and put him out in Trips.
- Somebody from the defense has to go with the Playside A-Back.
- Put the Playside A-Back out on the hash.
- #3 has to go with him. If #3 does go with him, now #3 is out of the box.
- Then, the other A-Back will come in motion and run Triple at him.
- You can make the 3-man surface move.
- If they don’t cover down, raise up and throw to the Trips A-Back
- This eliminates the defense’s three-man surface to run games.
