One game in, and Buster Faulkner already looks like exactly who we thought he'd be.

Our new breakdown digs into how Faulkner has brought his Georgia Tech offensive DNA to Gainesville, built almost entirely around G/T Counter and everything he dresses it up with: motion, screens, different personnel, different formations, same core concept.

The address has changed. The identity has not.

Check out the full film breakdown:

As Denny Green famously said, “They are who we thought they were.” And after one week of Florida football, Buster Faulkner looks exactly like who we thought he would be.

UCLA opened the Bob Chesney era with a seven-play, 71-yard touchdown drive, and it told us a lot about what this offense wants to be.

Motion. Misdirection. A quarterback in Nico Iamaleava who threatens defenses with his arm and his legs. And an early look at how much Wayne Knight is going to matter in this passing game.

We broke down all seven plays, one by one, to show you the identity Chesney and OC Dean Kennedy are building in Westwood.

UMass hadn't won a game since 2023, then they walked into Rutgers and dominated. A big part of that was quarterback William "Pop" Watson, a transfer from Virginia Tech who looked electric in his debut. But the play that got the most attention this weekend, a touchdown pass that had defensive coaches yelling about linemen downfield, was not just a great call. It was set up by the play before it.

We break down the full two play sequence, from the initial pin and pull run to the pass off the same look that caught Rutgers completely off guard. This is a great example of play sequencing done right, and it likely gave UMass a wave of confidence early in the game.

Tarleton State just beat Bowling Green 20-13, their second straight win over an FBS opponent. This breakdown is on last year's tape, and the identity on film is exactly what showed up on the field this weekend.

H-Iso is an old-school Pro-I isolation run, the same downhill play you grew up watching out of the I-formation, just packaged out of modern personnel. The H-back inserts as the lead blocker, the running back follows him downhill, and it comes down to who is tougher.

The play action off it is where things get interesting. Same quarterback ride, same H-back insert action, and routes built to attack the exact space the run defenders vacate. Slant behind a linebacker filling his gap. Hitch when the corner plays with cushion. A slot fade over the top the moment a safety gets too aggressive in the run fit.

Stay deep and Tarleton has the numbers to run H-Iso all day. Trigger downhill to stop it and the play-action game attacks the space that commitment creates.

Same picture every time. The answer just changes based on how the defense reacts.

Full breakdown with the clips here:

Some of the best offenses in football history have been built around a simple idea: find a run you can hang your hat on, force the defense to stop it, and then build the passing game off the same action.

North Dakota State's defense put on a clinic in their FBS debut against Jax State, holding them to just 170 total yards and 2.7 yards per carry. The Bison mixed in regular Cover 2, Tampa 2, and Roll 2 out of simulated pressure, and their safeties ran the alley to the football all afternoon.

We broke down our favorite reps from Saturday, including the simulated pressure package they've used for years and how it showed up again against Jax State on third and eleven.

Coach Dixon is headed to the UCF game tonight to get his first live look at their new quarterback, Alonza Barnett III.

Our latest breakdown is on Q duo lead, the wrinkle Matt pulled out of a twenty play cut up of Barnett's quarterback runs at JMU last year. Split back action, the wing reaching the backside end, running back inserting on the extra defender, and the quarterback running downhill behind it. Against a cover one look there is no extra fitter, so somebody has to make a play in space.

Best part is the install. Whether you call your base run zone or duo, this is a tag on something you already have in.

Youngstown State is always in the mix as a top FCS contender, and their offense runs through quarterback Beau Brungard. In their opener, Brungard carried the ball 28 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns. We broke down the run scheme the Penguins used to feature their quarterback, from Q Counter to quarterback power and Q draw.

In Part 2 of our Vikings defense breakdown, we look at what happens when offenses try to spread this defense out. The answer is Nickel and Dime packages built on the same core principles, six man fronts, mugged looks, and vision break coverage that lets the defense play downhill.

The Vikings defense has looked like organized chaos through the preseason, but strip it down and it's built on principles any high school staff can install. In Part 1 we break down how they get to a six man box out of their base 3-4, their favorite run stopping pressure, and how they attack the quarterback with fire zone coverage.

Full breakdown here:

How the Vikings 3-4 defense builds a six man run fit and disguises fire zone pressure, and how high school staffs can install it Friday nights.

Coach, every single pressure the Jaguars ran in their preseason opener produced a free hitter.

Not one or two of them. Every one.

Bear fronts they walked into after the snap instead of lining up in. Weak overloads that stunt the 3-tech all the way across the center's face. A read blitz where the linebacker lets the center pick his own poison. A seven-man max pressure with the safety coming through unblocked when the back stayed in to protect.

And then the one worth watching twice: a three under, three deep fire zone with both safeties swapping jobs post-snap, two pop out players, a Magic stunt path, and a coffee house rusher who sold the drop before working back to the quarterback. That rep beat max protection full slide. That is the answer offenses reach for when they want to be right about everything, and Anthony Campanile got home clean anyway.

The timing is still a beat slow. New Orleans found the curl behind the vacated overhang and found the one-on-one against the overload. But that is an August problem, not a scheme problem.

We broke down every rep, what the protection did, and what Jacksonville played behind it.

Breaking down how Anthony Campanile and the Jaguars schemed free hitters in the 2026 preseason opener, from Bear builds to weak overloads to fire zone exotics.
