Kelley: We will still use the middle of the field a lot. There have been several times during my coaching career when a simple trap play goes for 40 yards and makes you look like a genius. We’ve never been afraid to run the ball in the two-minute drill. As long as you have timeouts, sometimes the element of surprise works in your favor. If you have timeouts on your side and you’re around midfield with 40 seconds left in the game, you feel good about giving a slot the ball on a jet sweep. Reed: I will go over the middle and also run running plays. We have some quick throws, pocket throws and obviously a lot of things going to the sidelines.Īre you hesitant to go over the middle in a two-minute situation? We just pare down some plays that week-to-week we typically run. We don’t have any specific plays that are only for two-minute situations. Reed: The bubble screens and jet sweeps work well in our two-minute offense. Then, we’ve got three-step and five-step passing plays.
Some of it is the screen game, some of it is option game, some of it is the draw. We don’t change them from week to week, so once the kids learn them, they learn for the year. Lenti: We have about a dozen plays that never change. As I’ve gotten older, having more of a plan of specific plays that you’re going to run for your two-minute offense and not only repping those, but also repping them quickly, is critical. Our players get used to knowing those plays and it’s easier for them to rep. Get it to the slot and get out of bounds. I’m going to call a fade on the outside with a 10-yard out by the slot receiver. We use verticals where the outside receiver has the option to hook it up or not because we can get it to him quickly against soft coverage, or a prevent look. Hancock: We probably have five or six pass concepts that we run. What plays are staples of your two-minute offense? They include Head Coach Frank Lenti of Mount Carmel High School (IL), Pulaski High School (AR) Head Coach Kevin Kelley, South Oldham High School (KY) Head Coach Jamie Reed, Siena Heights University Offensive Coordinator Jeff Hancock and Aurora University Offensive Coordinator Matt Kalb. To answer these questions, AFM asked five coaches to share their practice and game strategies for their two minute offenses. How do you ensure the greatest offensive efficiency in pressure-packed, two-minutes-to-play situations? What are the best plays to have in your arsenal and what’s the best approach to use in practice? When you must have a score with limited time left, it’s critical that your offense remains calm under this pressure – advancing on every play, stopping the clock whenever possible and judiciously using timeouts. No huddles, keeping the defense off balance, quick scores.īut a true two-minute offense, of course, has the added pressure of clock management. With the increased use of the up-tempo offense at all levels of the game, some teams seem as though they’re running a two-minute drill the entire game.
