About this video
Coach Jim Girard of Wayland High School in Massachusetts takes the 30 Stack defense against the Wing-T offense, focusing on the three plays that decide the game: the trap, the buck sweep and the waggle pass. The keys, he says, are dominant team speed and an outstanding nose tackle, because Wing-T teams will double down on the nose and free other defenders to make the tackle. "We treat the Wing-T also like the option; that is, assignments to a progression of plays."
