“Running the Sweep, Shovel & Shovel Option Using Multiple Formations”

“Bringing it to the Table”• Sweep, Shovel & Shovel Option + “Double Shovel” =• “Compliment each other” or “exploit” the defensive over

aggressiveness.• Good outside game opens up the inside running game. • Forces Defense to play assignment football.• Shovel is safest pass to throw & Slows down outside pressure.

What the Sweep & Shovel Option Series has done for Colton Football:• Multiple Formations Create Massive Preparation for opponents.

(“Defensive Confusion).• Helps blockers and blocking angles when defensive is hesitant. • Most productive plays in our offense the past couple of seasons & continues to be the most hated offense by opponents.
