  • Game Summary
    Florida Thwarts East Carolina Comeback To Win Birmingham Bowl, 28-20 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III intercepted an East Carolina pass in the endzone with just over a minute to play, halting a Pirate drive to help preserve a 28-20 victory in the 2015 Birmingham Bowl at Legion Field. The Pirates, who also played in the inaugural Birmingham Bowl in 2006, were driving for potential game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion, when Hargreaves picked off a Shane Carden pass with 1:20 to go. ECU had all of its timeouts remaining, but the Gators, faced with a third-and-four from their 26-yard line, were able to seal the victory when quarterback Jeff Driskel converted a first-down on a run off a bootleg play. Driskel began the season as Florida’s starting signal-caller but was replaced by Treon Harris midsea- son as the offense struggled. After Harris was injured in the third quarter of the Birmingham Bowl, Driskel took over as the Florida quarterback. The Pirates grabbed an early 7-0 lead when Carden connected with wide receiver standout Justin Hardy on a 3-yard touchdown pass with 7:06 left in the opening quarter. Florida tied the game moments later when Brian Poole intercepted a Carden pass and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown. Just four seconds into the second quarter, Gator running back Adam Lane scored on a 2-yard touch- down run and Florida never trailed again in the game. Lane would finish with 109 rushing yards on 16 carries with one score.

  • The Passing Tree Is the Number System Used for the Passing Routes
    The Passing Tree is the number system used for the passing routes. All routes are the same for ALL receivers. The route assignment depends on the position of the receiver and how it is called at the line of scrimmage. This system has all ODD number routes flowing toward the center of the field, while EVEN number routes are toward the sideline. All routes are called from LEFT to RIGHT. Inside Tight Ends, Eligible Receivers (I) , are also called from LEFT to RIGHT. The above passing tree assumes the quarterback is on the left side of the route runner labeled. Below are the routes used in this playbook: ROUTE NAMES: #1 – ARROW/ SLANT. Slant 45 degrees toward middle. Expect the ball quickly. #3 – DRAG. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward middle.. #5 – CURL ROUTE/ BUTTON HOOK. Drive out 5-7 yards, slow and gather yourself, curl in towards QB, establish a wide stance and frame yourself. Find an open or void area #7 – POST. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep post. Opposite of Flag/ Corner Route . #9 – STREAK/ FLY. Can be a straight sprint or "go" route off the line of scrimmage. #8 – HITCH N’ GO. Drive out 5-7 yards, curl away from QB, show hand fake (sell it!, and then roll out and up the field.) #6 – CORNER. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep corner. #4 - OUT. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward sideline.

  • Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy
    Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by _____________________________________________________________ Liam Koenen _____________________________________________________________ Camden Lariviere April 28th, 2016 Approved By: Prof. Christopher A. Brown, Advisor _____________________________________________________________ 1 Abstract The purpose of this MQP was to design an effective play-calling strategy for a football game. An Axiomatic Design approach was used to establish a list of functional requirements and corresponding design parameters and functional metrics. The two axioms to maintain independence and minimize information content were used to generate a final design in the form of a football play card. The primary focus was to develop a successful play-calling strategy that could be consistently repeatable by any user, while also being adaptable over time. Testing of the design solution was conducted using a statistical-based computer simulator. 2 Acknowledgements We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following people, as they were influential in the successful completion of our project. We would like to thank Professor Christopher A. Brown for his advice and guidance throughout the yearlong project and Richard Henley for sharing his intellect and thought process about Axiomatic Design and the role
