About this video
Head Coach Scott Parseghian of Wayland High School in Massachusetts calls the Shotgun Spread passing game the perfect complement to the spread option run game, and he keeps it deliberately simple. "The threat of our running game resulted in the success of our passing game. We actually call the pass pattern route in the play call," he explains. The session centers on the quarterback reading the defense and finding the open receiver, then builds out formations, protections and the core concepts.
