4 Minute Offense Plays

The 4 Minute Offense is used when you are ahead in the game with 4 minutes or less left and you need a good offensive drive to control the ball and run the clock out.

​

The series I used in this situation was the TWINS* formation with the base runs and passes.

 

I liked using TWINS because with a TE in the formation I could predict where the front would be aligned.  The 3 technique DT would go to the TE side and 0/1 technique would be to the split end side.  This set up our run blocking for INSIDE ZONE and COUNTER perfectly to what we practiced.

​

We are running plays we have practiced and can execute at a high level. 

When you are in a 4 minute situation, EXECUTION is the most important factor

not trying to trick the defense.

​

*TWINS formation for me is generically called PRO TWINS.  I just shortened it to TWINS for our offense.
