Western Kentucky 2021 Mini-Breakdown

Description

As of the time of this release the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are the #1 Offense in College Football with 6,857 yards of total offense. Beating out national powerhouses that are known for their explosive offenses such as Ohio State, Alabama, and Ole Miss. While that might surprise a lot of people, if you take the time to watch this offense you will instantly see why they have been able to be so productive. It is not just putting up a ton of yards either as they have more offensive touchdowns than anyone else as well (68). They are doing so by combining traditional Air Raid concepts with an extremely high tempo to keep the defense constantly stressed. Inside this mini-breakdown we choose five examples of the Hilltoppers creating stress on the defense. Starting with an amazing Mid Screen that they set up perfectly as a counter to their base Dual Screen. Misdirection galore on that one, and it creates the perfect angles for the Offensive Line. But that isn't the only misdirection concept WKU holds as we go into details on their End Around off a Fake GY Counter scheme (think 49ers from a couple years back). Creating hesitation and disbelief from the defense. The Hilltoppers use these types of schemes to create doubt in the defenders minds on their read keys. You read the Wing's pull on our GY Counter, that is fine we are going to use that to freeze you on an awesome End Around. Then we go to the traditional Mesh concept, however WKU puts their own spin on it using motion to create even more natural rubs for the defense to work through. Then we show you the use of Tempo & Space in the run game that they have created with a standard Inside Zone that pulls the outside linebackers out of the box and creates a nice clean box. Lastly we wrap it all up with an Empty Quick Game Concept where Western Kentucky spreads the defense thin to isolate the match-up they truly want to work (Slot-Option). This mini-breakdown is designed to help all the coaches out there get an idea what the Hilltoppers were able to accomplish in 2021, along with some ideas on. how to utilize tempo, the entire field, and the idea of misdirection.
