I worked in Howard Univ Sports Medicine Dept during his time there and it was so cool seeing the early iterations of the Go-Go scheme live. Thanks for this breakdown!
The biggest change that's going to come to football in the future is the implementation of rugby core skills to change how match ups. The techniques for ball carrying, positioning and pitching would be a nightmare for any defence especially at the collegiate level. Think the problems the tush push (god I hate that name) caused as there is way more untapped.
But yeah I could definitely see it happening tbh with the way NFL offenses use the short passing game to account for bad offensive lines it kinda feels like it's coming
They had something similar 150 years ago and within the modern rules the wing t and wishbone. It wouldn’t work today because defenses are just 2 fast and 2 smart , that’s why the pass is popular now
Good video but a little feedback, too much talking into the camera and not enough chalkboard or game footage. You halfway diagramed a triple option but that was all. The Go-Go offense is a lot more than just a triple option play
@@ggsimmonds1 Definitely agree, wish I fleshed out the formation and the different blocking schemes on it. Think I’m going to do that in the next one trying to explain the modern offense for the service academy. It’s also tough to use game footage for copyright purposes.
Agreed^ just show the film maybe you don’t have all 22? I know it’s tough without it but still I just wanna see how they’re lined up in the actual game
@@RushTheFieldShow the Washington commanders have something similar to this I played a GM with them in Madden they had two RB in backfield on the same side
Great video, I've been down the rabbit hole too and one thing that I didn't expect was how invested he was in the past game as well and how the formation basically gets you for eligible wide receivers to a side so it stresses the defense in all the ways that you stated in your video plus the threat of a four receiver side and if you have a dog on an island backside just tons of trouble for defense
Earlier in the season, I saw a game involving Drake (non-scholarship FCS school) earlier this year and they lined up in some Go-Go type sets at times. It's definitely infiltrating college systems already!
I played safety at Howard my freshman year and he was the OC, crazy to see. Also, he named the offensive style “Go-Go” while coaching in DC after the music genre that started there
I'm Canadian, and I like NCAA 'ball more every year. So when I saw the thumbnail I clicked. When you asked me to follow you, I did. I watch more than 10hrs of mostly football related content every week at this time of year on TH-cam. I'm now making the comment and about to drop the 👍. I'm the guy. The one you are looking for. Did all this before you talked a smidgen of 'ball. Not bad 1/2 of the way through. But, given that a couple of weeks have passed, we know that Boise St. schemed very well for the UNLV/Marion offense and handed them their most impactful/demoralizing "L" in quite some time. Now, moving on from this video, let's see if you can earn the sub I gave you. NCAA 24 is definitely not reality. I mean, play it all you want but your love for the offense is irrelevant to us. Keep it up, man. Good luck!
Great breakdown of the Go Go offense. I was actually doing a search about Tulane and their dual QB attack and your video came up. So happy I clicked on the video. Please keep up the great work.
Played against a team my senior year 20 years ago that ran that formation, the back next to the QB always took a counter step, back on the end was always a pitch back. They'd either run counter, triple option, fake counter speed option, or fake both and pass. They were one of the few true spread teams at that time and they used a lot of crazy formations and motions to get match ups
My son played under him at SPSV, I got to see first hand this offense at the early stages and recorded a lot of it in practice. That year we put up so many yards on the ground and in the air. He ran that HS program like a college program..
Just a suggestion as a QB coach from a big time high school program... Take your one H lined up in the backfield and look at him as a true H, or as dude who can be lined up in a split formation...attached to the Oline like a traditional TE...or split out because he can play in the middle of the field because he is a big target with good hands and call him your H. Take the guy you are calling the "other H" and name him as your R or F which will help others watching you explain concepts to keep the two seperated, eliminating confusion. Also, draw your center with a box so your Oline looks like ○○□○○. This helps when as a coach you want to create a three man surface on one side of the center like this H○□○○○. And though some people call that unbalanced, it is not, it us what is considered a heavy formation. This, according to the rule book, is an unbalanced formation... ○○□○○H E X Q F. Z Note that the H and E are both on the line of scrimmage. This unbalanced formation has the E capping the H, causing the H to be ineligible so he must not be allowed to run a route or even go downfield to block for a screen or you will be called for illegal man downfield. However, this formation is great for creating more hats where you want them as you bring the X in motion across the formation to have momentum on his route while coming from a slot, avoiding reroute. It most times also brings the Sam backer walked up onto the H, taking him out of coverage and allows for an easier block if you are running the ball with your Q.
@@robertmosher7418 Will do from now on, genuinely was being lazy on showing it and regretted it following the amount of people watching this video. But this is the stuff I like and will add in future videos and truly appreciate. Would like to hear your thoughts and opinions especially at the big HS level on successful schemes to install knowing the level of competition across the board
Would have liked a little more detail on the whiteboard. The only thing you really showed was a traditional triple-option with one small wrinkle, (both RB's on the same side).
People make far too much out of offenses. There is nothing special about how they operate. Football is blocking and tackling, running and throwing. I have no idea why NFL play books are so thick. The thing I liked about Mike Leach is that he had no time for any of it. He had all of his plays on one small sheet of paper and look at the success he had running a handful of plays. Football is not nuclear science, it's not astro physics hell it's not Maths 55 and yet all of those involved in the game at a variety of levels act as if it's the most complex thing since abstract algebra. It's just a game.
I would absolutely love for Brennan Marion to be the next HC my alma mater, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, next year head coach after next season when Timmy Chang's contract expires. He was a WR coach for my bows before under Todd Graham & he knows the Mountain West Conference very well, so it'd a smart move for him to get his first head coaching job in the Mountain West where the GO - GO offense has been successful so far. I would love to see it in the B1G Ten one day, but it'd be best keep it in the Mountain West for now, evolve it & take it to the B1G Ten when it hits it peak.
I’m a commanders fan. Cliff Kingsbury fresh off a year at USC is definitely running elements of this right now in Washington with Eikker and Brian Robinson and Jayden (when B Rob is healthy ).
You had me wanting to learn about this offense, but then you gave us one formation and didn't show any scheming outside of how they would run the triple option. What are the route concepts that they run? Is it consistently 3 in the backfield every snap? What are the O-line splits like? What is the run blocking like? How much throwing do they do? Where are the hot zones that they want to hit in the throwing game? How do they use pre-snap motion? There are a million other questions that you could choose from. You still can. Make this into a series. But putting up one diagram where the backs are lined up a bit different than normal isn't giving us much information.
Completely get where you are coming from and I have it in my notes. This was the first time testing a video like this and for sure was just at the tip of the ice berg for this offense and was mainly focused on just very basic rules for installing the methodology of 'Go Go' I got a video working on for the Oregon offense that will implement a lot of different clips and CFB25 usage to get around copyright claims.
@@RushTheFieldShow Awesome. Having clips of the actual offense would be great, but if copyright is a problem, then consider diagraming the plays like you were doing on the white board. NFL channels usually do breakdowns with the all-22. That would be sick if you could do something like that. You have the right idea, I liked the video, I just got to the end and thought "where's the rest?"
Biggest change that we're going to see is that that's going to be 4 16 team power conferences separated from everybody else. And that will be the league with only teams from those conferences being allowed into a playoff
@RushTheFieldShow feels like it with every power conference in a race for who got to 16 teams first. Obviously the big 10 won and it would make the most sense moving forward with players being paid and the free agency portal
Nice vid. But what you showed us is not a new system. What you drew up is a system called the Wing-T. The only difference is that a traditional Wing-T has the QB under center. The Wing-T has been around for 70+ years.
Cool information video but if you think the eyes of the nation are watching UNLV and Boise at your wrong, also you make it seem like the only way to have 2 back is splitting them and that’s false there is a lot of ways to line your back in the back field. Also UNLV is only having a good decent season is cause they do not really play tough teams.
I worked in Howard Univ Sports Medicine Dept during his time there and it was so cool seeing the early iterations of the Go-Go scheme live. Thanks for this breakdown!
Yeah he didn’t touch in the HBCU time, the name and where the term “go go” comes from.
In hindsight I definitely should’ve, was mainly focused on the concept of it and not the historical break down
@@ant8ank2 they sure put a lock on him. I would think they would play out of the Go-Go set more if he could. It's kind of a 1/3rd Go-Go right now.

Bruh you talk to much. Just get to the damn point
Lmfaoooo chill but I feel you
Facts, I almost cut off the video. I skipped forward tho
First heard about this offense when we was at Howard but HBCU’s don’t get a lot of love, especially pre- Coach Prime. I’m glad he’s getting love
lol no u didn’t pal

@@johnhouston8801 it’s such a unique offense with so many options on play calling. cant imagine having to prep for this offense as a DC.
When i hear "go go" i think chuck brown and DC go go music.
He created it at Howard Univ. In DC
Earlier in the season, I saw a game involving Drake (non-scholarship FCS school) earlier this year and they lined up in some Go-Go type sets at times. It's definitely infiltrating college systems already!
Go-Go is inspired from his time at Howard. Go-Go is a genre of music in the DMV (DC, MD & VA)
I failed your football test…. When you said go-go the first thing I thought was dancers. 😂
Same
lmfaooooooo
U must be from the area!!!😂
This is my go-to offense I use in cfb 25, it’s basically unstoppable when run correctly
You just select UNLVs playbook?
@@tjf.994yes
Having 2 backs together in the backfield next to the qb is just the single wing. It’s been around forever

With the way Mensah is playing Thompson will transfer again
Thank you!! I need to dive a bit deeper, but I am glad you gave it a shot fr!
He's got a high level experience OL coach, Vice, that helps with the running offense
Played against a team my senior year 20 years ago that ran that formation, the back next to the QB always took a counter step, back on the end was always a pitch back. They'd either run counter, triple option, fake counter speed option, or fake both and pass. They were one of the few true spread teams at that time and they used a lot of crazy formations and motions to get match ups
I could only imagine the nightmare just having to not only install a defense to counter it but just the motion and eyes have to be so disciplined
i've been wanting to learn more about the technicalities of formations and plays but havent found it in a digestible format until this, nice video
Very glad this video popped off. As a high school coach, please keep doing these types of videos!
My son played under him at SPSV, I got to see first hand this offense at the early stages and recorded a lot of it in practice. That year we put up so many yards on the ground and in the air. He ran that HS program like a college program..
Go-Go name from the offense comes from Go-Go Musoc n Washington DC cause he caoched at Howard
That’s what I immediately thought soon as I heard the name. I assumed he was either from the DMV or coached in the area

mic on the fitted is crazy. had to subscribe lol
gotta be a little crazy to succeed
Needs more live footage of the offense.
Going to use some CFB 25 footage and others for an upcoming Oregon scheme video.
It's the football version of the Running Rebels

Now hes the Headcoach at Sacramento State

We need him at FSU. Right now we go a no go offense. In fact we have nothing going right for us.
FSU needs a prayer, or two, or eight
Good explanation!!!
As a DFW native. Love the Plano corny dog hat
FSU has him in there sights for the OC position!
You’re all crazy if you dont think 2-3 loss teams won’t and shouldn’t make a 12 team playoff
Just happened to have this pop up today where UNLV is playing Boise State again lol
It does no good if the other team has more talent. And your defense can't stop the other team.
I thought I was going to learn something new; instead, I saw a new formation and one pay. I'll have to watch highlights instead.
Ngl man this a real good video i subscribed preciate the content brother
Preciate it my man
im just praying we keep brennan
Basically a version of rich rod spread
Clicked because UNLV is my favorite playbook on CFB, stayed because of the damn corn dog hat
This Go-Go offense has a lot of wing-t and single T of the 1940's 😂
I wish the Bucs would use this with Bucky and white
You are cooking..
Great vid

Is it called the Go Go offense because when they were asked about it they said “Our Lips Are Sealed?”
I saw the thumbnail and all can think is the song “We got the beat “…..
bahahaha
Good Job man. It would be nice if you can use actual game footage in your break down; or better yet, use the use NCAA football game and the team PB.
That's the plan, I do feel like this video was pretty much the tip of the iceberg imo.
Dude was coaching at a new school every single year.

@@Rickzplayz9he literally said they aren’t but 😛
Its the wing t in spread
I played QB in this for a year
What is attached to your hat?
Its a mic
Microphone!
As an Oregon fan, this reminds me a lot of Chip Kelly’s Blur Offense. Are there similarities?
What scheme is UNLV on CFB25 pro style spread ?
10:30 Brennan Marion was a central figure in that NIL dispute which will probably stunt his growth as a coach
Yeah u doubt he gets a d1 offer next transfer portal window
Cap. He will be a HC if he wants it soon. Still only 37
Maybe he goes to FSU as an offensive coordinator and takes the challenge of turning around one of the worst, if not the worst, offense in the country
Is it simulated In NCAA 25?
Oklahoma better offer him millions
Oklahoma needs so much more than just the Go Go
Brendan Mariam WVU head coach???

Also UNLV is only having a good decent season is cause they do not really play tough teams.
lol i call it the NO-GO Offense now
So it has nothing to do with Go-Go music?
Great vid I want more film or chalkboard
In my notes, will add that more. Prob more CFB25 film stuff.
There’s a VERY good chance he goes to Oklahoma
What’s the black box on your hat?
My wireless mic!
First 5 minutes it just him saying the same
Thing in different ways
Art of Repetition
And it started at Howard U btw
I for sure shouldve mentioned that

Just gave you a follow on Twitter as well. Nice video.
Appreciate the follow sir!!
Fsu new offensive coordinator
Is there real rumors of this?
This offense did t age very well at Boise last night. 7 pts 😂
What's the formation called in CFB 25?
Check UNLV Playbook itll be in some of their shotgun sets.
@RushTheFieldShow I found it. Duo. :)
I thought you were Paul Skenes...
..... not the first time I have heard that.
FWIW, it didn’t work so well at W&M.
The mic on your forehead was just bizarre
The audio gets odd in editing when I put it on my shirt, thats why I go with the hat.
fsu needs him
Is there rumors for him to go there?
praying he becomes oc at fsu
Whether he goes to FSU or OU or wherever he won’t be there long you can count on it! Someone will want him to be their HC
