Clinic Talk: The West Virginia Air Raid Offense
The Air Raid offense has been well documented over the years by guys like Chris B Brown of Smart Football, and the playbooks have been passed around on the internet from Hal Humme’s time at Kentucky and Mike Leach’s time at Texas Tech. What we all know is that Air Raid guys are known for slinging the ball around, throwing bubbles and tunnel screens as outside runs and running empty sets in the shotgun with quick releases.
What many don’t realize is the base of the offense is set in 21 personnel (2 backs, 1 TE) and includes a run game.
Above, I’ve insert a page from the Kentucky ‘97 playbook.
