Anyone know anything about the sugar huddle???
The sugar huddle is run by no huddle team. It is a huddle with just the OL and QB about 2 yards behind the LOS.
What is the purpose of the sugar huddle???

I think its just a compromise between no huddle and traditional huddling up. Rec. get calls from the sideline to thier wristbands just like the QB. Quicker then sending a play in a more controlled by the coaches then Indy speed No-Huddle.

Another idea behind this may be to already have the shell of the offensive scheme in place to make it easier. Such as when the Center, TE, and SE will break first from the huddle to form the shell of how they will be lining up and the rest of the guys know where to go on the second "break."
But the above post sounds like the real reason, just guessing.

I thought the sugar huddle was the quick huddle close to the LOS sam wyche ran with the bengals !?!?
From what I have read the QB and oline huddle only in no huddle is also close to the LOS and is often called the muddle huddle...

The sugar huddle was what Sam Wyche used with the Bengals quite a bit. I think it is a variation of the no-huddle. He used all kinds of words (male and female body parts) to make the call. It wasn't necessarily a hurry-up type situation but was to keep the defense off guard.

WVU utilizes the "Sugar" huddle. Just as Ex-Central stated... the play is signaled in from the sideline for all the "skill" players... the QB calls the pass protection / play / snap count to the interior lineman who are lined up back to the LOS 3-4 yds off the ball.
The sugar presents another tempo to the game, not quite hurry up and not milking it either.
We have been using this style of tempo for some time now... but we call it "Honey" huddle. The Tempo we Amtrak - as in the train to speed the game up. We will go in and out of tempos several times a game. But the Honey or Sugar huddle allows us to further dictate the tempo of the game.

Do you just use it as another tempo change or are there other reasons for it.
How far back do you hudddle and how quickly do you snap the ball after you break the huddle. I've that some team snap the ball on 1st sound after breaking the huddle.

We leverage this style of tempo setting offense in different situations - from certain field positions to kick starting our offense or answering a score quickly yet not burning a ton of energy! All depends on how your kids respond to it in practice. We start it by calling Amtrak, Amtrak on the sidelines when we make the personnel change... then something clicks in the kids heads... time to go! We use the term Amtrak between drills in practice, to and from water breaks... its to the point the kids are yelling it and the coaches dont.
As for our honey huddle, the Oline is standing tall lined up on the center 3-4 yds off the ball with their backs to the LOS. Once the QB breaks the huddle the Oline simply turns around and jumps to the line. We usually go on first sound... that way in short yardage situations, we can go on two and get the 1st on a penalty.

Spurrier used it at UF and called it a "muddle huddle" Its when u wanna go no-huddle,but not at that fast pace. |
