    The document provides playcalling instructions for a wishbone offense. It emphasizes the importance of effective fakes by the quarterback (QB) on plays involving a fullback (FB) dive to disguise the true play. This includes the QB carrying out fakes on option keepers and pitching the ball on plays where the halfback (HB) is actually taking the handoff. The document also outlines specific plays like the counter, toss, sweep, quick pitch, and bootleg pass that rely on the QB selling the fake FB dive before executing the real play.

    FB Dive (left and right)

    QB M-U-S-T carry out the fake outside after the handoff EVERY TIME!

    QB Option keeper (automatic!!!)

    Heres where good fakes REALLY pay off QB must make his cut upfield just behind the OTs block dont keep running sideways get UPFIELD!

    Fake Dive HB Pitch (automatic!!!)

    As a level one play, we are not reading this we are faking the dive to assist a called toss to the HB

    Counter (a homerun play!)


    If you will stress to your QB that every play involving a fb dive MUST look like an actual FB dive in terms of ball handling and fakes, then this play becomes your secret weapon.

    Toss Power Lead

    The QB must reverse pivot, (especially at younger ages or he will pitch to the wrong runner!). As the QB gets more experienced he will see the reverse allows him to pitch quicker, rather than having to wait for the FB to clear out of his toss path.

    Power Sweep

    The QB must reverse pivot, (especially at younger ages or he will pitch to the wrong runner!). As the QB gets more experienced he will see the reverse allows him to pitch quicker, rather than having to wait for the FB to clear out of his toss path.

    Quick Pitch when the DE plays too tight!


    Again QB reverse pivots which makes this look like the power sweep but it goes the other way great for over-quick LBs and slow DEs. Since the motion of the Quick Pitch are a more technical for the QB we dont install this play until the second season or until the 4th grade.

    Motion Dive
    This quick hitter play is a bit of a change-up for the DL to see there is no FB dive, and in fact, the FB motion may cause a bit of confusion for some teams, who are not use to seeing motion in a wishbone offense. This motion will set up several other new options for both runs, and passes.

    Flood Pass
    This play works really well after you establish the Motion 23 (34) Dive play. Look for the Motion Back if they are playing a 3 man zone coverage, such as the common 5-3-3

    This is one of our favorite passes, and once the defense has seen the FB motion and the HB dive a few times, they begin to fall asleep which is when the QB fakes the dive, sprints back, and now has a flood read (Deep Shallow Screen in that order) or run.

    Bootleg Pass

    The key to this pass is 1) Set it up with the FB motion HB DIVE, 2) Use X SPLIT LEFT to give the BacksideTE a huge open gap to run into as he comes across the field. QB must take his time to give a great fake before bootlegging out to allow the Y TE time to clear the LBs as he runs behind them.
