In football the goal of every offense is to control the ball and score. Every team
faces how to best achieve this goal. The dilemma is whether the offensive scheme
will feature a running attack or a passing attack. A good team realizes the best
offensive strategy features a balance of running and passing. However, simply the
threat of balance is often the key to allowing a one-sided attack to succeed.
Just as a good team understands the need for balance, a good team also
understands, depending on the level and talent pool, the difficulty of
establishing that balance. Combine that with autumn weather conditions, the
added time and skill it takes to implement a complicated passing scheme, and the
old adage that "three things can happen when you pass, and two of those are bad,"
and I believe that an offensive scheme based on a running attack is the most
successful way to move the ball and score.
During a football game, each team will get the ball between ten and fifteen times.
The team which controls the ball through low-risk, positive-yardage plays,
decreases the opponent's number of opportunities to have the ball and, thus, score.
The Wing-T is a superb model of such a ball-control, ground oriented offense.
While the Wing-T has a wide array of formations and plays, fundamental play of the
offense is the sweep.
28 or 29 Sweep:
This play is designed to run "off tackle" with the tailback carrying the ball
through the 8 hole, if we run it to the right side from the T Right formation,
or the 9 hole, if we run it to the left side from the T Left formation. The TB (2)
will get the ball and follow the pulling guards, who will create an alley, a
running space for the TB, in either the 8 or 9 holes.
Skill Position Assignments:
Quarterback
• Take 2 steps straight back at 6 o'clock and give ball to the TB.
• Fake bootleg around backside.
Fullback
• Aim for the left foot of the center (for 28 Sweep) or right foot of the
center (for 29 Sweep).
• Fake a handoff from the quarterback and block backside A-gap.
• The block takes priority over the fake.
Tailback
• Take off laterally (like stealing a base in baseball).
• Take the handoff and follow the backside guard's block.
• Make almost a 90 degree cut up the whole created by the guards'
blocks.
• Be patient. The hole takes time to develop.

Numbering System:
Skill Position Numbering
The Quarterback (QB), Tailback (TB), Fullback (FB), and Wingback
(WB) are all assigned numbers. These numbers will be the first ones
mentioned in the name of the play. (For example, 28 Sweep-- the "2" means
that the TB is going to carry the ball).
SE T G C G T TE
QB WB
(1) (4)
TB FB
(2) (3)
T Right Numbering:
9 5 3 1 0 2 4 6 8
SE T G C G T TE
QB WB
(1) (4)
TB FB
(2) (3)
T Left Numbering:
9 5 3 1 0 2 4 6 8
TE T G C G T SE
WB QB
(4) (1)
FB TB
(3) (2)
To recap: "T Left 29 Sweep." This means that the offense will line up in the T
Left formation. The TB (2) will carry the ball through the "9" hole, between
the WB and TE.
