VT's strength is the D-Line and they'll specifically plan on ways to stop inside-zone. Though I believe we'll find ways to run inside, I think this bleacher report article gives some ideas on plays we'll use to get run the ball off-tackle and outside-zone.

NOTE: where this article shows a full-back, I expect we'll use Vannett as a lead blocker.

I expect to see WHAM (since we destroyed a number of teams with it)  Crack-Toss and Crack Toss (Jet) - since I believe this allows EZE, Braxton, and Samuel to use their speed on the outside.  

Since VT will be bunched up inside playing bear, I expect us to seal them inside while we kick out their DE and open up the off-tackle power runs.  On a play like crack toss jet, I expect to see EZE demolishing a corner while Braxton houses one. 

What do you think?  How will Urbs/Warinner out-coach Beamer/Foster?
