Indiana’s pass concept that Rutgers had no answer for

#17 Indiana was outgained majorly in total yards despite a one point upset of then #8 Penn State last week, but they started to make plays late that helped produce the upset victory. Their astute coaching staff identified during their preparation for Rutgers a passing concept that would haunt the Scarlet Knights all day in their 37-21 loss on Saturday.

Indiana runs most of their plays out of 11 personnel, but the grouping is not important, because all this concept requires is two receivers that end up on the left side. This 2020 Rutgers squad plays a lot of base defense, as in a 4-3 even against three receiver, one tight end looks and players don’t remain on one side of the field, but switch sides depending on where the tight end lines up.
