Here are some clips from the third weekend of the 2018 season.
Really nice run here by Hopkins. #2 never turns to take him so he keeps the ball. It was ruled a TD on the field but it got overturned. pic.twitter.com/DPMqBQNeS2

Im continually impressed by the line surge by Army. This ball is snapped just outside the 10 yard line. Look at where they all end up. This is why I'll never understand OL coaches who don't want their kids running off the ball, or allow two point stances. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/uT7SVH91VN

Nice throw here by Hopkins. By motioning away from trips, Army pulls the backside safety away from the side they want to read. It's a 2 on 2 situation, and they complete the Dig route against man coverage. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/RcqNjlp9wx

Interesting defensive concept here by Hawaii, but if the PS-Safety has #3 in the option game he's no help on interior runs. If the PSLB gets taken care of the B-Back can run all day #FearTheVeer #TripleOption #Flexbone pic.twitter.com/pwxe6xF1iv

Bootlegs off of Toss action can be a tremendous advantage for the offense. Perfect throw by Hopkins. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/n2jfXowhbb

You can tell alot about a team by what it does on 4th and short. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/XUXtfdmgRP

This one is more concept over execution. The PSG does a good job on the 4-tech. If the PST gets a bigger piece of the PSLB this would have been a big gain. By motioning the A-Back across, you are pulling a 3rd level defender away from the play. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/ibb3lCirjc

If you have a stud at B-Back, yes you can toss him the ball. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/aV4tHKUZre
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
We've seen this more from Tech the last few years, but Army is running counter off of what initially looks like 13 to the defense; but instead of running it as an option play, they are pulling two backside linemen to block #2 and the PSLB. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/6XiAolDDLe
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Another interesting idea off of toss action. How many defenses forget about the FB once they recognize PAP? Army nearly hits a big play with the wheel. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/AQHH5VFndo
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Another 4th down conversion for Army. The A-Back seals the box and the B-Back kicks #2. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/PfNAc0kPfl
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Tossing the ball to the boundary with the WR cracking #2, always a good scheme. pic.twitter.com/TWLFo1SoAJ
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
We just saw Army do this, but the QB kept the ball. Here Navy hands to the A-Back instead. The execution wasn't great but you see the concept. PST blocks #1, BSG and BST have #2 and the PSLB pic.twitter.com/3UQQkWIyz9
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Far too often I see high school QB's pitching the ball backwards. Here is a great example of a parallel pitch from Perry #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/npQZRPlgwC

Tremendous execution of Counter Option #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/q0b1TAurvR
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Deep in the red zone, out of double flex, the WR helps the PST seal #1. The A-Back has the PSLB and the B-Back kicks #2. Perry walks in pic.twitter.com/yyJblRMaOa
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Keep running a good thing. Lehigh is essentially playing a 4-4 look. The FS is hard down hill to the action side. Navy has run Counter Option three times in the first ten plays of the game. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/qgPx9l9pnt

5th Counter Option in 15 plays. pic.twitter.com/vcQ4WxLLzu

Perry just missed on this same play in the last series. You knew they'd come back to it. Playing with one high safety is very hard against this specific play action pass. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/B0igKCOgLI
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Good look at midline triple against a 4 man front. It probably should have been a give, but by getting the edge quickly, the FS takes a bad angle to the ball. pic.twitter.com/R8kckQNUL1
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
8th Counter Option in the first 18 minutes of the game. Check out the LT here. Great veer release and stays on the block for almost 15 yards! #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/6uWYlC4WGN
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Lets get passed the missed block by the WR. Watch how the A-Back clips the hip of the read, and blocks level two to level three. If the OT cant get to the PSLB, the A-Back would have him. Good execution by Perry as well#FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/CunrVLgPPC
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
I think I lost track of how many times they've run counter option. pic.twitter.com/luWnsMpvR5
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
After about 3-4 misses in the last two quarters, the back up QB connects with the wheel on a long play action pass. With so many defenders committed to the run, the edge players are compromised in their responsibilities to run and pass #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/4Y9DQBrINd
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Sometimes you see some interesting defensive looks. Lehigh stacked the ILB's like we talked about last week with USF. This is just a follow concept with the A-Back and B-Back serving as lead blockers on the ILB's pic.twitter.com/9XMHQkgrac
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Simple scheme to start the game. PSG/PST combo #1. B-Back blocks the PSLB (we call this rebel) and the QB works pitch off of #2 pic.twitter.com/zp0flFtMPn
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Same concept GT used last week against USF. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/iT6r6IosKZ
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
More Counter Option from GT. Log #1 and Pitch off of #2. The WR does a nice job push-cracking #3. The A-Back has the NDD pic.twitter.com/OKSTL1u7zx
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Good stuff from GT. The PST blocks #1 and the QB reads #2 on the dive. If he runs over the top he hands the ball off. Otherwise he keeps outside the PST's block. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/m7wPKe9ziu
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Tech has really run this play a bunch so far this year. Motioning the other A-Back gives you a numerical advantage to get everyone blocked pic.twitter.com/Un3EqGYwmz
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Marshall does a good job replacing the read here, making it impossible for the pitch key to tackle him. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/TyrO6hlbpt
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Here it is again. You are forcing the defense to unbalance itself. The likely response is to roll the now front side safety down and move the other one over. Only chance the defense has. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/g56TJqBoDW
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 16, 2018
Alright DC's what your answer to this play. The offense has you outnumbered, can turn this into a double option and has everyone else blocked. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/7ZCEQ3J1e2
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 17, 2018
It's Tech's favorite play the last two weeks pic.twitter.com/MRQoBhrEhG
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 17, 2018
Here is solid rebel down near the goal line. PST Blocks #1. A-Back inserts for #2. B-Back has the Mike and the BSLB is picked up by the backside scoop. pic.twitter.com/ycna3GXJTp
— Scott Jazdzewski (@FlexboneCoachJ) September 17, 2018
Throughout the 2nd half, Tech has been loop releasing the PST to the Mike on Triple. Here 1/2 take the dive leaving Marshall free to roam. #FearTheVeer pic.twitter.com/uF1BRGRqnT
