Frequently asked questions
What are the Rhino and Magnum packages?
Rhino is Coach Rampy's short yardage package with multiple runs and a pass that were extremely effective inside the five yard line; Magnum is a Power I run from the Pistol alignment, with runs and passes that need no personnel substitutions.
Is this for Pistol teams only?
It comes from the Pistol, but any high school or college offense looking for a short yardage and goal line package with power and attitude can borrow the Magnum idea of a Power I without changing personnel.

Why does Magnum avoid substitutions?
Coach Rampy runs the Power I look from the Pistol with the players already on the field, so the defense sees the same personnel it saw on the previous down and the offense never has to burn time swapping in a goal line group.
