I've seen tons of clips of Liberty Hill running this offense better than anyone. I've noticed two things though: - It seems like their 11 aren't even close to being set for a full second before the snap of the ball. Maybe 1/4 of a second at most. For anyone familiar, has this ever been addressed or clarified? Do the refs just default to "one moment?"
- Did anything ever come of this TD play where the ball was tackled, but the refs bit so hard on the fake, the ball carrier got up and "scored." (4:50 mark)
To the second bullet point: Was that ever addressed, or is this something they are still getting away with?
I'm not trying to belittle it honestly. These two points are just so bizarre that I was wondering what conversations or actions have been going on around them.

WOW!!! Everyone says I have a story for everything, but I have one for this. Ha Senior year, playoffs. Other team runs a fumble rooskie type play to the guard. He scores a TD. They bring it back for being an illegal play. The crazy part was when we watched it on video. We actually tackled the guy when he got the ball. Knocked him down trying to get to the guy we thought had the ball. The guard just got up and ran for a TD. Thank goodness they brought it back, but the refs had no idea he had been tackled. |

Appears to me there was a mishandled fake. Ball was on the ground (or laying on the guard). FB was knocked to the ground (good coaching by Hutto). FB seeing the ball grabbed it and took off. At that point officials would likely have considered it a fumbled ball behind the LOS thus allowing the TD. Nobody in the state that runs the Texas Slot-T runs it better than Liberty Hill. Their O Linemen have always been fast in getting their hands down, and the QB's precise with the snap. What happened on that play isn't something they plan, or get away with. It was just a fluke play that can happen in the game of football, and sometimes can happen more often with offenses that place an emphasis on misdirection. |

FB seeing the ball grabbed it and took off...snip.... Nah coach, that isn't what happens at all. FB gets the ball on a trap. Gets stuffed and brought to the ground. Refs, presumably concerned about stopping a play are slow to blow a whistle, and apparently loose track of the ball. FB doesn't hear a whistle, stands up and runs for a touchdown after being tackled behind the line of scrimmage. |

Play it back in 0.25 speed. The fullback's arms remain in the 2-arm hold the entire time. There's even a point where you see #28 (fullback's) back as he's going to ground, and you can see the nose of the ball. |

Oh well, **it happens. It's football. DE jumps offside and gets back, no flag, play resumes and QB throws game winning TD. Wait, there IS a flag, in the offensive backfield. HB flinched on the DE jumping offside, play called back. Refs. They get most calls right, and some calls wrong.

Officials usually let a play go if they think the players have stopped their momentum after a shift, even if it hasn't been for an actual second. That's what the rule was designed to do.
As for the touchdown, that's to make up for the ones they probably lose due to inadvertent whistle.

wow,
11 absolutely destroys the fb #28, gets up looks around for the ball as in whats going on, fb jumps up and takes off, no whistle. guess he was doing the right thing, shame on poor officiating for watching the "ball" but not really watching it.
nobody would win that argument with the white hat.

I could see a high school official missing the FB in that play, given how fast those fakes hit. But, I've always wondered how Liberty Hill gets away with their quick huddle break and snap. That's certainly not by the books.

They're set. You can get a pretty much complete one one thousand count in before the ball's snapped.

Not even close. Maybe a half second if you are generous.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen spread teams using motion snap the ball when the man in motion is going toward the LOS. Or how many times I've seen pass oriented offensive linemen literally tackle pass rushers and get away with it for most of the game. Or how often my DW fullbacks got their knees taken out by a defender lined up outside the free blocking zone when the FB is blocking on a Super Power. In each of those cases I always spoke with the officials prior to the start of the game to look for those infractions. Some crews paid attention, most crews didn't.

Tell you one thing about the speed of the break/snap: this year the goal is for us to be even faster.
We're going to be f***ing obnoxious about it.

I absolutely LOVED watching the LH Slot-T running on all cylinders. Attended and watched games for a number of years when I lived in Austin. Brings back fond memories of when I ran my Double Wing offense. Now that I'm retired, moved away from the blueberry, and live near Fort Worth I hope y'all might be playing someone up this way soon. |

SetHIT The snap is on HIT but they move on Set When we coached against them, we had our DL go on Set haha In practice, the scout OL and DL were engaged before the ball was snapped constantly... It helped and neither team ever got called haha |

I think it is a little bush league to be honest. I believe LH uses just a one word snap count. I think it's just a matter of those boys up front being coached to come off the ball on the first letter of the snap count. IMHO pretty impressive coaching that they can do that on just about every snap. |

The same as "pushing the boundaries" by sending offensive lineman downfield on RPOs because the officials in HS can't keep up with the 3 yard rule. |

And the same as telling your offensive linemen to be more aggressive holding and telling your DBs and WRs to be more aggressive on pass interference when you know you have a crew who will let em play... |

Coaches, I need your help. I was a district championship head coach in Virginia this past season, I was let go by my new principal to bring his buddy in. I am a Wing-T guy at heart, but ran the spread. I really want to learn the SLOT-T, and hopefully run it if I ever become a head coach again. Not much info out there, and I need your help. PDFs, google drives, power points. Anything would help? If i become a head coach again, i would like to bring the SLOT-T to Virginia. Thanks again I've seen tons of clips of Liberty Hill running this offense better than anyone. I've noticed two things though: - It seems like their 11 aren't even close to being set for a full second before the snap of the ball. Maybe 1/4 of a second at most. For anyone familiar, has this ever been addressed or clarified? Do the refs just default to "one moment?"
- Did anything ever come of this TD play where the ball was tackled, but the refs bit so hard on the fake, the ball carrier got up and "scored." (4:50 mark)

Thanks again There's resources out there, but you really need to talk with one of the guys that runs it to learn the adjustments/details. A couple of guys in Texas you could contact: Robert Draper, Florence HS Josh Finney, Winnsboro HS Brian Herman, Georgetown HS |

The guys at LH were very open when I reached out. |
