Rutgers @ Louisville 7:30est ESPN Thursday
OK here we go again. For some of you new members or first time checking out these threads I am a brand new coach that is trying to learn everything I can. I will be watching and taping this game and I would like to know what to watch for when watching this game. Such as what type of Offense/defense does both teams run, does one team do something particularly better then most teams out there, block schemes, routes, philosophies etc.... Try to keep it about the X's and O's but keep the clinic speak to a minimum so new guys(like me) can understand what you are talking about. Also , during the game I will be on here and most of the time Brophy is on here so feel free to leave comments as the game is being played.
P.S. Keep it about the Xand O, I know kragthorpes name has came up for SMU and in this thread I don't care. O-Yeah Keep chopping wood! I love schiano! sorry had to be said ;D ;D

Well look at each teams strenghts and go from there. Louisville, although has a terrible record, is an excellent passing team. Brohm is a very talented QB. So when they are on Offense watch their pass blocking schemes, what the RB's do in protection, Brohm's drop backs, etc. It's hard sometimes to see the pass patterns on a televised game but if they do some replays you can get the jist of the route combo's.
Rutgers has a good running game in Rice so take a look at their run blocking schemes, QB footwork, what types of runs they use in certain formations and situations, etc.

Watch the Zone blocking of RU. Their OL Kyle Flood is one of the best around, he is great to hear speak at a clinic.

Does any team only utilize one type of blocking or do all teams switch depending on the play call? One last question how would you describe zone blocking? I know that might be dumb question, but I really want to learn and this is the best way for me. Any one feel free to answer these questions for me.

Look at how RU lines up against Louisville's pass-first O. Schiano is a solid D coordinator. They get close in but generally you can at least figure out how many safeties are deep from who is in the box and whether the receivers are covered. Watch the LBs and/or outside defenders before and after the snap. Do they move around? Show blitz? Where do they line up? Etc
And then how do Louisville's blockers handle them.
