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.

This diagrams shows you how to run Trips Triple versus the Three-Man Surface just as Paul Johnson discussed:
