Our base run game out of the shotgun consists of more than the following three plays, but we start with them. Each play is a
complimentary play to the others. They look the same, have jet motion with them and attack multiple areas of the defense on each
play. We can run all our shotgun plays from under center also. We have some subtle variations included in this report to either help
break defensive keys, slow down the defensive flow, or provide better blocking angles for our offensive linemen. In 2018, we rushed
for over 3,000 yards. We run the ball 85% to 90% of the time. Therefore, we are faced with 8 and 9 and sometimes 10-man boxes
each week and we still find a way to run the rock.
Jet Sweep
The jet sweep is the first play that we install every year. Nearly everything we do offensively is predicated on jet motion. The jet is our
best perimeter play and running it out of the shotgun has allowed us to evolve our traditional Wing T into our Spread Gun Wing T. We
ask our offensive linemen to make a realistic block by enabling him to drive his defender outside if that’s the way he wants to go.
This is a read attack jet sweep reacting to the blocks as they occur.

Over time, we have observed defenses that react to our jet motion in a variety of ways. They will slant to the jet motion, blitz to the jet
motion, roll the secondary to the jet motion or any combination thereof. Sometimes defenses overreact and sometimes they under-
react but our goal is to keep them guessing and make them pay for whatever defense they deploy. The strength and success of our
jet sweep is because it exists in a series of other plays that help each other succeed. The Jet series plays look very similar to one
another while being quite different. When we add some variations to the blocking and backfield schemes our offense becomes a
nightmare to prepare for.
Coaching Points
QB will snap the ball when the JET back is in the backside B gap. The QB will mesh with the jet back and carry out his QB Isolation
fake. The ball carrier (Jet Back) will follow the block of his FB. The offensive line and play side wingback all take a 45-degree
fire/reach step and try to gain outside leverage. If they cannot get outside leverage, then block your man outside as fast and hard as
possible. The FB and Jet Back will read the blocks and cut up inside or stay wide and outside. We read attack the #2 defender. The
fullback (gun back) is our lead blocker and he must make the correct read on the block our TE or OT make on the #2 defender for
his route to block the #3 defender. We do not block anyone from the play side A gap back. The Center, BSG and BST simply cut off
backside flow at the 2nd and 3rd level.
X: Stalk block the #1 defender or run off if tagged.
Y: Cut off backside flow at the second or third level.
RH: Block the #2 defender. Try to gain outside leverage but if you cannot then block him outside and we will cut up inside of your
block.
LH: Fast jet motion receiving the handoff in the play side A gap. Get to the edge as fast as possible reading the block on the #2
defender and following your FB.
FB: If offset alignments you are the lead blocker on the jet sweep. FB will read our block on the #2 defender to determine if he leads
the play inside or outside that block.
QB: Snap the ball when the jet back is in the backside B gap. Meshing with the jet back you will make the hand off in the play side, A
gap then continues with a great QB Wham/Isolation fake.
PST: 45-degree Fire/Reach step attempting to win outside leverage. If you cannot get outside leverage drive your man outside and
back off the LOS.
PSG: 45-degree Fire/Reach step attempting to win outside leverage. If you cannot get outside leverage drive your man outside and
back off the LOS.
C: 45-degree Fire/Reach step attempting to win outside leverage. If you cannot get outside leverage drive your man outside and off
the LOS.
BSG: Cut off backside flow at the second or third level cut off backside flow at the second or third level.
BST: Cut off backside flow at the second or third level.

Editor’s Note: Coach Sorber has provided a clip by clip narration of this concept below:
Clip1: Unbalanced jet into the boundary. We outnumber the defense on both flanks. Great reach block on the #2 defender. We have
such good numbers our FB just has to clean up as he leads the play.
Clip 2: Unbalanced empty backfield jet. Defense keeps a 7 man box to defend internal QB run which means they cannot properly
defend both flanks giving us huge number advantages.
Clip 3: Base formation jet to SE vs an 8-man box cannot have enough defenders to defend both flanks. When our FB offsets it
increases our numbers advantage.
Clip 4: Base formation jet to SE into the boundary. The flanks are totally undefended here as they want to keep a 7 man box to
defended internal QB run game. Impossible to defend both flanks and the interior of the defense at the same time.
Clip 5: Unbalanced TE over jet to the field. In this clip, we have 4 blockers to block the jet sweep against only 2 defenders. The
defense must remain in a 7-man box or decide to defend a flank or flanks.
Clip 6: Base formation jet to SE to the field. Our jet series/formations make it difficult for the defense to fortify both flanks and their
interior at the same time as we consistently stretch the defense horizontally with jet motion while attacking the interior with our QB
internal run game.
Clip 7: Good example of cutting the jet up inside after reading the block on the #2 defender.

Belly G Variation vs. Odd Front
Against odd fronts, we can run a Jet Belly G (guard pull) scheme. See Diagram #2. The jet belly G scheme is when our FB and
guard switch jobs. With the fullback taking his isolation/wham course it makes this jet sweep play initially look like QB isolation or
Wham. This tends to force the inside linebackers/FS to fill on interior run threat delaying their scrape or pursuit to the jet sweep.
Defenses know we run QB Iso so they must react to the fullback isolation key.
Clip 1: Base formation jet belly G into the boundary. Because our FB is now attacking the B as he would in QB Wham/Isolation. The
ILB must slow play the jet disabling him from scrapping quickly to our jet. This variation messes up the run fit of LB's and safeties.
Clip 2: Unbalanced formation jet belly G into the boundary. Huge numbers advantage into the boundary as the defense remains
balanced in an attempt to equally defend both flanks and its interior.
Clip 3: Unbalanced formation jet belly G into the boundary. Defense unwilling to unbalance to not weaken their defense somewhere
else.
Clip #4: Unbalanced formation jet belly G into the boundary. Huge numbers advantage into the boundary as the defense remains
balanced in an attempt to equally defend both flanks and its interior.

Clip #1: Empty formation unbalanced jet. Defense stays balanced in their 4-4/6-2 in an effort to defend our jet series giving us a huge
number advantage to the unbalanced side of the formation.
Clip #2: Empty formation unbalanced jet. Defense stays balanced in their 4-4/6-2 in an effort to defend our jet series giving us a huge
number advantage to the unbalanced side of the formation.
Clip #3: Unbalanced formation jet. A good example of the jet back cutting the jet up inside based on the blocks he reads on the #2
defender.
Clip #4: Unbalanced formation jet. A good example of the jet back cutting the jet up inside based on the blocks he reads on the #2
defender.
Clip #5: Unbalanced formation jet. The #2 defender has widened himself as he has become so jet conscious that it becomes an easy
out block and cut up inside the jet.
Clip #6: Base formation jet into the boundary.

Jet Belly Tag Variations
Against even fronts, we can run jet belly TAG (tackle pull). See Diagram #4. The jet belly tag scheme is where our FB and tackle
switch jobs. With the fullback taking his isolation/wham course it makes this jet sweep play initially look like QB isolation or Wham.
This tends to force the inside linebackers/FS to fill on interior run threat delaying their scrape or pursuit to the jet sweep. Defenses
know we run QB Iso so they must react to the fullback isolation key.
Clip #1: Base formation jet belly TAG to TE into the boundary. FB and PST switch jobs to make this jet play more resemble the QB
Wham/Isolation play. Doing this forces the ILB’s and safeties to slow play the jet sweep.
Clip #2: Same thing.

QB Isolation/Wham Concept
Shotgun QB Isolation (Wham) is a complimentary play to our shotgun jet sweep. This play attacks the interior of the defense while
we have a strong jet sweep fake attacking the flank. QB Isolation is the shotgun version of our under-center FB Belly Isolation. We
can run this play to our gun back (FB) or away from him if we feel defenders are reading or keying our FB. This play can hurt over
aggressive safeties and linebackers that overplay the jet sweep. OL blocks man ON play side and the backside will cut off backside
flow.
Clip #1: QB Wham to SE. The defensive secondary, in particular, the FS rolls to the jet motion in an attempt to defend the jet. When
he does this, it takes him out of his proper run fit to defend the internal QB Wham play which results in a big run.
Clip #2: QB Wham to SE. Again, the FS over-pursues to the jet motion ruining his run fit on the internal QB wham play.

QB Isolation/Wham vs. Even Front
Clip #1: QB Isolation with no jet motion to mess with the defense and QB Isolation is away from the gun fullback as a defensive key
breaker.
Clip #2: QB Isolation with no jet motion to mess with the defense and QB Isolation is away from the gun fullback as a defensive key
breaker.
Clip #3: QB Wham to the gun back with ICED motion.

Clip #4: Iced motion QB Isolation.

QB Concept
Shotgun QB Counter is a complimentary play to our shotgun jet sweep and QB Wham. This play attacks the interior of the defense
while we have a strong jet sweep fake attacking the flank. QB counter in the shotgun is the same as our FB counter under center
known as our Joker series. This is a counter play away from the jet sweep with a hard jet fake from the QB. This play is blocked on
the play side as a gap down linebacker scheme with backside pullers. We actually use two blocking schemes "Gap Train" and
"Freight Train. See diagram 6. We like the gap train vs even fronts and the freight train scheme vs odd fronts because of the angles
we get.
Clip #1: Unbalanced QB Counter/Joker gap train to the weak side into the boundary. This is what happens when defenses overreact
to the jet motion, to the field against an unbalanced formation. Creates great angles for our gap blocks. Inside linebackers disappear
and big plays occur.
Clip #2: Unbalanced QB Counter/Joker gap train to the weak side into the boundary. This is what happens when defenses overreact
to the jet motion, to the field against an unbalanced formation. Creates great angles for our gap blocks. Inside linebackers disappear
and big plays occur.
Sorber 7
QB Counter Vs. Odd Front
Clip #1: Unbalanced QB Counter/Joker freight train to the weak side into the boundary. The FB and BST switch jobs and in this way,
we can block the same play just a little differently which confuses defensive keys.
Clip #2: Unbalanced QB Counter/Joker freight train to the weak side into the boundary. The FB and BST switch jobs and in this way,
we can block the same play just a little differently which confuses defensive keys and leads to big runs.

Conclusion
Each one of these three plays set up the other. Together they create a series of plays that look the same with jet motion but are
different and can be used to exploit your opponent’s defense. Combined with a few blocking variations and a multitude of formations
your offense can be difficult to defend and exciting to teach and watch. With our ability to stretch the field horizontally with the jet
sweep and our robust interior QB run game most defenses are forced to remain in balanced alignments. Even when we unbalance
our formations the defenses remain balanced giving us huge number advantages at one or both flanks. Defenses understand that
they must remain in 7-8-man boxes to defend our internal run game which denies them the numbers to properly defend their flanks.
Our opponents understand this, and some will slant, blitz, and roll their secondary to our jet motion to compensate for lack of
defenders at their flanks. This overreaction allows our QB counter game to be successful.
