    Any students of John Jenkins' offense here?

    I would be very interested in replicating the offense he employed at Houston from 1987-1992 in the game. I know NCAA Strategies has a good run down on the Run and Shoot, and that Jenkins' RNS was basically Mouse's version with a few changes made, but it is very complex and I was wondering if anyone here could give me a layman's breakdown of what Jenkins did and how he was able to run the offense. I suppose it was mainly out of the Ace formation.

    Any takers?

      Yeah, I looked over that, but without knowledge of football lingo and symbols, I can't really grasp the intricacies of it.

          What would be an accurate way to implement his offense in the game?

            How much of the run and shoot do you already understand? (i just need to know as a reference point to know where to start)

              I know some basic concepts such reading the defense in the game and knowing when to run or throw, as well as basic route reading with the option plays.

                Your 3 base formations is going to be ace spread, 4wr trips, and empty trips. Ace spread was used the most, very little motioning used. Basically what Jenkins tried to do was attack vertically downfield to essentially turn zone based defenses into man defenses. His three favorite dropback passes were streak ( 4 verticals) switch, and slide. For example, he may call streak 3 times in a row but the recievers will break at different points (because they are reading defensive leverage). You can do this on the game through presnap reading and audibling accordingly. I'll try to post more later

                  Jenkins also made heavy use of the "quick screen" to any receiver that is uncovered as seen here: http://www.youtube.c...YOodUP98U#t=77s and here: http://www.youtube.c...OodUP98U#t=116s
                  The way to do this is to hot route the reciever to a whip route. By being undercenter, you can get the ball out immediately and the receiver will already be looking for the ball. This is also a sure fire way to beat press coverage as well (eapecially if your receiver has a high release rating) for at least a 5 yd gain with the possibility to house it. This is also my preferred thing to use in goalline situations if they stack the box against the run.

                    x.........oocoo...........z
                    ..............q.....w..y
                    ..............s

                    Using the symbols from above, these are Jenkins adjustments for slide:

                    vs 2 safeties zone: w streak (hot routed), y bubble, z streak (hot route)
                    vs 1 safety zone: w deep out (hot routed), y bubble, z streak (hot routed)
                    vs man: w streak or deep out, y bubble, z in/slant/drag (your choice)

                    Video examples of slide:
