Creating explosive plays

Taking advantage of aggressive safety play is one of the best ways to create explosive plays. Pattern match rules used by defenses in 2 high looks allow the offense these opportunities. 

In the film clip below, Michigan State uses a dig route by the tight end to trigger the safety down. The outside receiver runs a skinny post route, designed to get behind a safety in a 2 high look. Connor Cook correctly recognizes the coverage and makes a perfect throw.
