Buck Sweep Right

Halfback takes the handoff and follows two pulling guards around the right end.

Concept: Both guards pull right (playside guard kicks out the end man, backside guard turns up to lead), fullback fills for the backside guard.

Every position's job

QB

Open pivot to the right, deep hand the ball to the HB, then carry out the fake to the left.

FB

Fill and block the first backside defender to seal the cutback.

HB

Take the handoff, aim behind the pulling guards, and cut off the lead blocker's tail.

Playside OL

Playside guard pulls and kicks out the end man on the line of scrimmage.

Backside OL

Backside guard pulls and turns up through the hole to lead the ball carrier.

Center

Reach block the playside gap and cut off backside pursuit.

TE

Down block the first defender inside to seal the edge.

WB

How to teach it

  • 1Rep the two-guard pull footwork daily so pullers stay tight and low.
  • 2Teach the HB to be patient and read the kick-out and log blocks before cutting.
  • 3Walk through the QB fake so the fullback and QB action holds the defense.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !HB outruns the pulling guards; fix by teaching a controlled first three steps and pressing the hole.
  • !Playside guard aims too shallow and gets beat inside; fix by aiming for the outside number of the end man.
