About this video
An option offense that cannot throw eventually gets the box loaded on it. In the third part of his Pistol-Flex Triple Option series, Simon Fraser University coach Paul Markowski lays out the passing game that punishes a defense for crowding the run. He explains the theory behind his play-action pass game, details three separate protection schemes, and then walks through five specific pass plays - each shown against an eight-man front, the look option teams see most.

This is the third video of Coach Markowski's four-part package on the Pistol-Flex Triple Option.
Frequently asked questions
Which pass plays are taught?
Five of them - Louie Alpha, Louie Scissors, Richard Utah, Ivy Left Eagle and Sprint Left Flood - each explained against an 8-man front, along with Coach Markowski's play-action theory and sprint out package.
Is protection covered?
Yes. Three different pass protection schemes are detailed, which matters in an option offense where linemen spend most of their reps blocking run schemes.
Do I need the rest of the series?
Not strictly, but the package is built to be watched in order: philosophy first, then the running game, then this passing game, then the option drills.
