8. After a penalty or a time out, have your play called and the team ready to play at the line of scrimmage. Do not follow this procedure when trying to run out the clock.
9. Try to score in one play after a break in an effort to demoralize the defense. Should you follow this procedure several times and not be successful, discontinue it; otherwise, you will demoralize your own team.
10. Never try to score just before the half from deep in your own territory. Run out the clock and get a fresh start the second half.
11. When you are behind, never try to score in one play. Play the game as if it were a tie contest; otherwise, you can be out of the game before you realize it.
12. Normally we like to pass on first down and on a waste down. On short yardage, throw play passes. On long yardage, throw in front of the deep men.
13. First down is your important call. If you make five yards or more, you have the advantage. If you fail to make four yards, the defense has the advantage.
14. On clutch downs and short yardage, run fake gives because the defense must go to the first fake under such circumstances.
15. Remind your line to tighten up on the goal line, and do not call plays that require linemen to pull as the defense may break through and throw us for a loss.
16. Do not pull a play out of the hat. If you are in doubt, run an option run-pass.
17. We will rehearse weekly every situation possible, such as saving time, killing time, giving up a safety, side line offense, etc., so that you will automatically make the right decisions in the game.
