Missouri plays in a 4-2-5 defensive formation that has 2 defensive tackles a field end and a joker and a defensive end 2 Linebackers and a middle line backer in the middle an the outside the objective off this defense is to keep the ball in front and to stop explosive plays.

What is plaguing college football?

In this modern landscape of college football with nil,fake injuries, transfer portal there are issues that are plaguing college Football but what are the issues?.

But what are the issues that are around college football? lets dive in to it first and foremost lets look at 4 highlighted issues

fake injuries':

In this first issue a issue is fake injuries' in the sport time is is everything but you don't wanna take a delay of game but how do coaches address this? well some will send a player out to fall and fake a injurie to incur a extra 30 second timeout for inquires (fake injuries) but that is only one thing that must be tackled and looked at and taken care of.

NIL:

We at skyarccfb have already spoken about the pitfalls and the good of nil but also how it is ripe with cheating and misuse but the problem that we ask is this how do you manage such? because it promotes a quasi free agency and misuse it becomes a tale of the haves and the have nots in cfb and if you want to know our thoughts fully on the matter read this article on nil

Transfer portal:

Just like the nil issue this promotes the idea its not ok to compete with and for your team when your team when you face adversity and thats something these young men need to understand when the going gets rough they need to stand shoulder to shoulder with their team to win a national championship but how does the ncaa fix that? how do they address it?

Social Media :

While this is not a ncaa issue but more of a player issue players let the garbage of college football social media in to their head and that is something that coaches and coordinators need to address as time goes on but my question is this : coaches how do you manage this in your programs?

Closing :

We are the custodians and the care takers of college football we must and always push college football in a healthy direction

The History and its use PT 3: Formations

Rules of the air raid 

Just like the philosophy of the air raid its about putting speed in space and getting the ball out quckly

• in a 3 by one set (using trips right as an example)  the quarterback works from the outside in with the furthest Wr bring his first read and he progresses and if all wrs (or the te) is covered he will go to his hot route which is the running back but we will dive in to that 

HOT Routes

Now you are probably wondering what is a hot route in football?

a hot route is a route that is called at the los (line of scrimmage ) when a blitz or pressure is coming  a hot route is a short route like a slant for example look below  at the play call below

From right right to left  the wide receiver on the right will be the qbs first read  the wr (or te depending on play) will be the second read and last wr in the bunch is the 3rd read    the last 2 players in the progression  will be the Wr on the far left of the formation running the seam (remember speed in space) the running back will be the hot route to give you a more visual representation hot routes  watch the linked video

Conclusion :

i hope this gives more visual reprensation of what the air raid can do and how it can win teams games

SkyArc revamp!

 Its a pleasure to announce a revamp of skyarc operations! more to come at skyarccfb!

The History of the air raid and its use PT 2

 Air raid philosophy :

The air raid philosophy is about putting speed in space and Spreading the defense horizontally and vertically esp when teams are playing man to man but the use that speed to exploit mismatches and attacking the defense where its weaskest

Concepts : 

Mesh,

4 verts,

all hitch's

4 cross

corner sticks

shallow

Personnel;

The air Raid uses 11 personell depending on package now mike leach used 10-20 depending on what he wanted to do on the field at that given time and it helps put speed in space and depending on the formation you can motion the full back in pass protection and it forces the defense to declare their defensive formation

concepts in practice

Mesh : mesh

4 Verts :4 verts

 all hitches      all hitches

4 cross shallow :4 cross shallow

Corner sticks :corner sticks

conclusion: 

when it comes to the air raid its easy to learn but hard to master and has we delve in to this study we will learn more

 

  

 The Air Raid its use and its history pt 1

The air raid offense is one of the most popular offensive schemes in modern college football but before we can delve in to formations and how to effectively use it we must understand the history of this prolific offense.

a new beginning

 

The air raid can be traced back to legendary coaches such as hall mumme, (pronounced mummy) mile leach, Sonny dykes, and tony Frankin in there respective tenures at their schools like Washington st (wazzu) and miss st  the air raid is used out of the shot  gun formation with a 4 receiver set and with 2 slot  receivers usually extremely pass heavy  but it can also use a trip set as well depneing on down and distance

History:

The Earliest iteration of the air raid can be traced back to 1941 with the Indiana Hoosiers under Bo Mcmillin who  was already adept at filling the air with deep shots to the end zone or getting chuck yardage plays.

The modern Air raid offense did not make is appearance until the early 80s  when hal mumme and mike Leach took over at Iowa wesleyn and Valdosta st and had success in the 1980s/90 and  the first exposure to modern college football was in 1997  there, Head coach Hal mumme and mike leach 

turned qb in to all American qb in 1998  then leach served as the offensive  coordinator at the university of Oklahoma before landing the head coaching job at texas tech. shortly in to the 2000s asst coaches like Chris hatcher,(valdosta st) Art Briles, (houston and baylor) and Sonny dykes (lousiana tech then cal) and many more when on to advance the air raid

The air raid at a glance :

The scheme is notable for its focus on passing, as 65–75% of the offensive plays are passing plays. The quarterback has the freedom to change the play based on what the defensive team shows him at the line of scrimmage, using a vocal signal called an "audible". In at least one instance, as many as 90% of the run plays called in a season were chosen by an audible at the line of scrimmage.^[6]

An important element in this offense is the offense does not huddle, known as the No-huddle offense. The offense gets to the line of scrimmage as soon as the previous play ends. The quarterback then diagnoses what the defense is showing, and starts the next play quickly. The quarterback is responsible for the audible play calls most of the time. The quick pace of the offense not only allows a team to come back if they are many points behind, but also tires out the defense and keep them off balance by limiting player substitutions.

Conclusion :

The air raid shares alot of commonalities with  the spread but also stands to be uniqe in modern cfb and will stand the test of time

stay tuned for part 2!

nil and the effects it has on college football

 nil and its effects

At its surface nil can be a used for wonderful things but it can be rife with misuse and and cheating over the last 5 years college football has transformed in to a sport where teams will buy recruits and that is some thing we dont need but the question is how do we fix it?.

 i suggest we move nil funds where players can get the money after their four years (graduation) of playing at that school and they can use that money to pay off schooling and set themselves up for life and pay medical bills but who manages this?, not congress not the ncaa but can we trust the schools that we are not sure but there must be a way to make a fix for it all especially with Colorado's qb making 5.1 mill

but we must ask is this what we want for college football? not a bit we need to address this and address this soon

STATS:

Down below is the nil cash that's most schools are paying on average

QB :500k-800k

RB:200k -300k

WR :75k-300k

OL:350k-500k

DL :250k-600k

LB:100k-300k

DB:120k-225k

Brief history:

Nil officially started on July 1fst 2021  but the foundation was laid in 2019 and the ncaa signed a 2.7 billon dollar agreement in may to begin paying players once revenue sharing is approved and be shared in 2025

How much do schools pay?

$1.17 billon with Alabama leading the most with it

  

Schools play 103,000k a year in nil

Conclusion:

The question is this i must ask for the college football folks is this what we want for the sport we love?  do we really want qausi free agency?
