Here are some clips from the second weekend of the 2018 season.
I really like Toss out of a condensed formation. Here the WR seals #2. The A-Back has the CB, now this only works if the OT can get to the safety. #KSU has a good one#FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/Dy1PpmkUtC

Watch the PST here. Not only does he run a great path to level three but he bites the playside pec of the safety. This is ideal technique. This one small thing gets the back some extra yards #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/hja1crNSU7

Good example of leverage pitching here by Burks. #25 on defense is the pitch key. As soon as he turns his shoulders he can pitch the ball. It's one way to make sure a QB doesn't take as many hits. #Flexbone #FearTheVeer #TripleOption pic.twitter.com/QtNnB1Ivzx

Next series of the game for #KSU. Watch the PS A-Back here. #12 on defense has to be #3 in the option count based on his alignment.
Watch how patient he is setting up this block. It doesn't have to be devastating but it has to be thrown at the right time#FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/qDOuR11NVY

Great read by Burks here. #4 is the pitch key. He looks him off just a bit and hits the alley #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/NHpfUcMDhp

It's not a pretty throw, but I've also long been an advocate of looking for the backside WR on play-action out of condensed formations too. Look how fast he gets over the top of the secondary #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/cO0LzsVJ86
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
My guess here is that the defense was playing the dive with both LB's. The 5-tech had QB but wasn't expecting the OT to try to loop release him. Burks walks in from there #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/wjYPmKhalg
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
Not a bad way to start the second half. Burks has leverage on #2 and deals the ball. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/KiDIgd8Nbx

Yes this is the very next snap for the Owls. The read was good and everything but watch the RG #77 get to the Mike. This is why your OL always have to RUN off the ball! #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/qO7IfnOjEU
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
It's a subtle thing but watch how the QB reads #2. If he never turns his shoulders toward you, he's not tackling you. Keep the ball!#FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/QBVlvYkExZ
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
This can only be something that's picked up quickly on the first few snaps. Navy inserted the A-Back on toss. Watch the PSLB and CB insert with him. The PST reached #1 and the PSWR ran off #2 and the safety.#FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/6p5tDiNuYR
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
Interesting design here. Navy runs heavy trips. Memphis shifts to the heavy side. Count the number of defenders outside the B-Gap on the nub side. Perry is one on one v the safety for a big gain. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/oWx1e1NFO5
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
Nice scheme out of trips. PSA has the PSLB. The BSG wraps for #1 and Perry options #2. Since it's out of trips they have enough numbers to block the secondary. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/iHRNlfsVEI
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
There were some brutal conditions in Annapolis on Saturday. Navy had to slug it out most of the day. They got going late in the second half by just giving the ball off the WR's down block.
Here they kick out the first man outside the block. Abey walks in #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/eIlhlavsDJ
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
Food's off the grill. Let's get to the Army game.
You see more of this from Brent Davis the OC at Army. A combination of Over and Heavy leaves the defense outnumbered.
PST and OT reach 1/2. A-Back seals the box. WR's block #3 and NDD. FB wraps for the BS-Safety #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/sruLQouU4j
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
More designed run out of heavy. PST/OT and PSA block 1/2. The B-Back blocks the filling PSLB and the QB options #3 #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/Ge1zAnNePR
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
Nice trap scheme off the counter look. Look at the LB's flow to the fake side! #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/ZyNVB9L50h
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
This is just more creative formation usage. Condensed formation with the WR just outside the heavy tackle. The offense has leverage. This is just zone dive that gets bounced wide #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/Y9qhaPAOxS
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
Look familiar? The play worked before. Run it again #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/ii3ApqTyoQ
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 9, 2018
It's nearly halftime and I'm still not sure what Liberty's plan is against heavy.
They are 0-4-9 to the heavy side
Try to get the back side safety to make every play? #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/086wJXpVnD
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
First snap of the second half. Double option away from tail motion. The OT loses #1, but this slows the safeties down and gets on the edge quickly#FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/tzk0MrSyQH
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Play-Action off of Toss action. No chance for the secondary. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/RGq8RwqeEi
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
The fold scheme by the PST compresses the edge. The PSG doesn't do a great job reaching him but the offense has three blockers for the secondary and the B-Back has the PSLB #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/SeVeBRWfqB
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
PSLB running over the top = Zone Dive #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/mEolpQXnR6
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Tough to stop zone dive to heavy out of 0-4-9 if the offense can get the BSLB blocked #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/62In1nCuVu
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Two snaps later Liberty tried 0-4-7? B-Back just bounces it pic.twitter.com/J8jSeha95j
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
You think they noticed the B-Back playing A-Back? Nice lead block! #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/UoFAGdlgY3
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
3-4 with stacked Mikes. Here is one way to get the numbers advantage #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/uzzkdNHvVK
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
South Florida is trying to mess with Marshall's reads by going double eagle/4I and hipping #2. Running double option makes it easier to sort out. PSA seals the box. Motion guy blocks #3 #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/bw3KMigOCO
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
What's USF's answer to this? Motion to trips. Reach #1. A-Back seals the box again. Motion A blocks #3. Pitch off #2 pic.twitter.com/gMu4ZM5VV7
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
This looks an awful lot like power read doesn't it? #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/3J0JnCozcU
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Yup…….they ran it again #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/ahcbEOJGwy
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Now the counter to the motion? This is a more results oriented tweet because the defense did have 3 v 3, but Marshall just made the play pic.twitter.com/nlkitHGk0b
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Gorgeous play sequencing here. The Tech staff identified the back side safety getting over the top on that same motion action. Dial up a PAP and send the A-Back right down the middle. BSS never reacts to him #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/fKkyZQw2gN
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
This is becoming more common by Tech the last two years for sure. It's made easy with the B-Gap defender. Down block the front side, pull the BSG/BST, pick up #2 and the PSLB. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/Ubg1jS2UYi
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Hell of a play to open the second half. First snap in double flex all game. WR blocks #2. PSA seals the box. B-Back has the NDD. Pitch off #3 #Flexbone #TripleOption pic.twitter.com/f7q4ZS1fOi
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Dont over think the game. Keep running your stuff. Marshall gets dinged up on the last play. Oliver comes in and runs the same play they opened the half with just two plays later #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/i1nDga1Zop
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
And……again. Same play three times in the opening drive. This time for six #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/b4Jfon5J1A
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Nice job by the PSG getting to #2 on Toss pic.twitter.com/bTwFUAqxg5
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
But coach, we cant cut on our level……watch the WR make the reach block here #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/zUlFeRQfpD
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Remember that play we ran a whole bunch of times in the first half? Yeah let's do it again #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/ZFJOWBnw8h

Can you tell what plays they like Oliver running? pic.twitter.com/C6FxgB2sXK
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Nice example of the B-Back cutting behind the action key. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/5q0MNRHM7Q
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 10, 2018
Counter Option. If the BSG can't get the PSLB hooked, knocking him on the ground works too #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/FXHoRldBdE
