Introducing the “Bust” Concept

February 17, 2015

The “Bust” concept is utilized similar to the Follow concept utilized by Georgia Tech and Navy in Short Yardage/Goal-Line situations; however, the “Bust” concept provides a false key.

On “Bust,” the Quarterback takes his first two steps as he is running Triple to the left.  The B-Back will run his dive path to the right, making this look like a “busted” play.

Then, the Quarterback will step with his playside foot and follow the B-Back up the hole.

By the Quarterback “incorrectly” opening away from the B-Back, this looks like a “busted” play and a false key for the defense.

Here is the “Bust” in action versus a 4-4 Defense:
