Only works if the running game goes. As soon as the box is stacked at all, your receivers have the 1v1 advantage. As soon as they move the safeties back out, the running game has h2h blocking for their running game.
As a Vols fan, it’s been two different offenses since he started coaching us. The one with Alex Golesh who was here during Hooker era and cooked with Milroe vs Clemson in the bowl game and the offense without him. Lots more running now then with Golesh. He has also turned around USF with the Hooker Veer and Shoot offense, I would strongly advise you watch his offense too.
I agree, but I also think that the offense has been somewhat figured out. Golesh had the luxury of defenses not knowing how to scheme against this offense... So many busted coverages and wide open receivers streaking for endzone. That's not going to happen anymore no matter how good our players are or how smart our coordinators are. Also, Hooker was a 6th year QB and was phenomenal for that system. So yes Golesh was great, but he also benefits from things that no other OC is going to get.
I played qb in this offense and its so much fun playing in it and now running it at the high school level. With that being said you better have wide outs that can win. Tennessee does not have that
This offense came into the national spotlight in 2011 when Art Briles ran it at Baylor. When national reporters, who had little knowledge of the Art Briles offense, said "you guys can really run the ball well," Art Briles replied "no shit." Briles turned average QB"s and fast receivers into superstars.
@@darkjorb I agree, that’s where I personally recognize it, and will most likely make a video about those Big 12 days. But I more mean the wide splits I think became public to a casual fan after that Bama/UT classic.
@@RushTheFieldShowi had a great coach from Texas called Randy Jackson, he teachee it on the basis of Baylor and it worked out to be the best offense ever in german (semi)-pro american football
This offense is called veer and shoot and it came into the spotlight with baylor and RG3. Its not a gimmick offense. That would imply it can only be used sparingly before being shutdown. Multiple ncaa teams use it. Its an offense that takes advantage of the hashes being wider in college. Its a run first offense. Look at the top rushing teams this year. Notice theres multiple veer and shoot teams in the top 20. Its a qb driven offense more than others. Wrs are second most important. They run alot of mid-deep choice routes so the qb and wr have to be on the same page. The reason it has the name veer yet doesnt actually run the veer is due to the choices at the LOS. You can either run with the qb, rb or pass. Its unique in that rpo’s are built into it depending on the shell you see. Alot of teams call rpos from the sideline. In this offense its apart of the pre snap look. Because again, theyre split wider than normal. Theres not much a defense can do to disguise a coverage. Its it’s incredibly difficult to stop this offense when it has a good qb. Like most run and shoot offense. The biggest problem with r and s offenses is that its heavily qb and wr dependent. You need highly intelligent players who see everything the same. Its why r and s isnt popular. Air raid/spread is much simpler and doesnt require much brain power to run.
It IS a gimmick offense. It runs a handful of plays and tries to catch people out. There's a reason Tennessee sucks on the road. It's hard to gimmick people out of position with a loud hostile crowd.
Its not a gimmick. Thats exactly what an r & s offenses does. Its predicated on choice routes. You dont need a huge playbook. Just offensive formations. You should be able to run every play out of every formation. Its not looking to catch people out. Its looking to make the defense show their coverage pre snap and lighten the box. It forces a defense to make a tough decision. There ALWAYS is a wrong decision on defense. Its on the qb to make that read. Especially with the veer and shoot. They run alot of deep choice. You dont have time to second guess. R & s offenses have always been for smart qbs and wrs. You have a small amount of plays but a plethora of choices per play. The reason the word veer is used is because theres three options pre snap the qb has to make. If he chooses to pass he then has to choose the right option route for the coverage he sees. This is also why the veer and shoot offenses are among the top 20 best running teams in college. They constantly get light boxes. They suck on the road due to lack of preparation. Once again you cant be wrong on your choice. A R&S team running on all cylinders is near impossible to stop. The veer and shoot takes those r&s concepts and adds rpo’s into the mix. They line up wide the same reason r&s teams ran motion every play. Its to see the coverage pre snap.
If you don't have the receivers too run the offense it won't work..Especially if they don't have speed to take shots down field...That's why it worked so well for Art Briles at Baylor in the mid 2010's
I think Nico been playing good. For what he has the receivers have been banged up all year for this offense. Also, Tennessee’s offensive line is actually not very good 1 on 1. That could also be the reason why he’s missing throws because he’s just getting a lot of pressure. despite that the reason why their offensive line has been really good running the ball is because Tennessee runs a lot of counter, super counter, weak side counter. They do all these different things creativity wise in the running game. And that goes along with what you said that they’re predicated on running the ball. I will also look at the fact that when you run receivers that wide outside, a lot of the routes are very slow developing so you need the time to throw. That’s my take from looking at them because I am a Georgia fan so we see them every year.
@ did you even watch the game like receivers had no separation at all and he still did a really decent job of taking care of football. what does the team barely be able to score 20 points all year have have to do with anything if a quarterback is good or not. Just so you know Tennessee scored over 20 points in a game in 9 to 10 games this year. Also, you guys like to tell me that Drew Allar is go QB in terms of the regular season passing. They’re really right near each other. Nico has done a good job for a first year starter. That doesn’t have a great line and injuries in the receiving room all year.
@@tomdemay6147that literally has almost nothing to do with the QB. The guy is 100% correct in his analysis, I'm a UT fan and watch every second of their play and he nailed it. Our o-line has to improve and our WRs have to improve in order for the QB to shine.
@ this has been a issue in all of SEC play for them. Not really excuses. I’m talking about his and Tennessee season as a whole. I don’t really care I’m not a Tennessee fan. But solid first year. People like to say LaNorris sellers had good year Nico had better numbers overall better passer and takes care of ball better than sellers
As a UT fan, everyone already knows its a gimmick offense. Its built for 7-10 wins a year with an occasional big pop season depending on personnel. Spacing and Tempo is all it is. Its simplistic.
And that's all we could hope for anyway with our scholarship restrictions through 2028 To run a pro style, we'd have to hit on basically every recruit/portal grab
This osu game is how i expected the Alabama game to go... I never thought we could win a big game this year with a sub 50% blue chip ratio and no working qb/receiver combos. Kalen deboer saved Tennessees season. Thats a really bad first year considering their talent profile
@@jeffkonves1428not according to everything I've seen. Everything I've seen says they spent ~13M, which is half of what OSU spent (literally half). Plus, Nico isnt getting $8M a year, that's over 4-years.
Unfortunately it seems that we've opted to be the everything school. The full commitment to football doesn't appear to be there and I'm guessing our probation through 2028 has something to do with that
@@Nowledgeman I don't think it's probation, I think it's just that our Admin spreads the money around... The Vol Club, for instance, is profit-sharing across the entire program... If we want to have a good football team, we're going to have to sacrifice our other sports. According to a poll I saw yesterday, most ppl would rather be an everything school... Sucks for us football fans! Id dissolve the basketball & baseball teams if it bought us a WR1 lol
Dude!! Seriously that is my motto for offensive play calling. Play the game like chess and call the offense like a boxer. Don't swing wildly for a knockout go to the body early and often and use the jab to position your opponent.
Bro OSU has 5-stars all over the field, UT has like 4 lmao. Have you not seen breakdown videos of the talent difference between those two teams? Or the NIL spending difference? It's not even remotely the same teams, might as well be in two different leagues with talent. I think it was something like 43 blue-chip players (UT) vs 69 (OSU). Just stop.
Terrible take lol. The reason Tennessee got beat starts up front on both sides of the ball. The O line lost the battle every play and Nico ran for his life. Meanwhile other side of the ball will Howard had all day to throw.
This offense only works if you have someone to be scared of the deep ball. Goodley, Reese, and Hyatt
Only works if the running game goes. As soon as the box is stacked at all, your receivers have the 1v1 advantage. As soon as they move the safeties back out, the running game has h2h blocking for their running game.
The public claiming a vertical passing game is an air raid offense already shows they don’t know ball 🤦♂️
I’m an osu fan but their star runningback was out, if the ground game doesn’t work nothing happens
@@13studio61 it’s like a boxer without their jab
truth. and 2 of the next 3 were in the portal
