About this video
Grinnell College head coach Max Hawsey treats the Shot Run offense as a system you can take in whole or in pieces. In this installation session he explains why Grinnell runs it, then walks through a step-by-step process for putting it in - how the offense exploits whatever defense shows up, how Grinnell signals and calls plays at tempo, and how formations are used to create the advantage before the ball is snapped. It is the blueprint session of the series.

Frequently asked questions
What does the installation session actually cover?
The reasoning behind the Shot Run offense and a step-by-step install: tempo, the signal and play-calling system, formation usage, and how the offense attacks whatever front and coverage it gets.
Do I have to adopt the whole system?
No. Hawsey explains that all or part of the Shot Run can be incorporated into an existing offense, which makes this a useful session even for a staff that just wants the tempo and signaling piece.
