 Double Digit Coverage System

The Huskies Double Digit coverage system allows our defense to play the best coverage based on the
Shade of the Defense and Offensive Formation. This system also allows the coverage to be changed vs.
Change of strength motion without changing the front.

There are four ways to determine which Digit will be played.

1. When playing STRONG / WEAK Fronts the call will be tagged with the word MO to allow the
Coverage to change.
MO = 1st Digit is played vs. ALL Formations.
Check to 2ND Digit ONLY vs. Change of Strength Motion
Example: STRONG 43 MO
= Cover 4 (1st Digit) vs. ALL Formations
= Cover 3 (2nd Digit) ONLY vs. Change of Strength Motion

2. When playing CLOSED / OPEN Fronts no tag words will be used.

1st Digit is played to all PRO Formations
2nd digit is played to all TWINS / SLOT Formations.
Example: CLOSED 47
= Cover 4 (1st Digit) vs. PRO Formation
= Cover 7 (2nd Digit) vs. TWINS / SLOT Formation.

3. When playing FIELD / BENCH Fronts the call will be tagged with the word CHECK to allow
the Coverage to change.
CHECK = 1st Digit is played vs. Pass Strength to the FIELD (Husky Call).
Check to 2ND Digit ONLY vs. Pass Strength Away from the Husky Call (FSL).
Example: FIELD 4 CHECK 3
= Cover 4 (1st Digit) vs. Pass Strength to the Field (Husky Call).
= Cover 3 (2nd Digit) vs. Pass Strength Away from the Husky Call (FSL).

4. When the coverage Digits are Mirrored (33) we will play a 4 under, 3 Deep Rotated Zone
coverage to all formations Regardless of Motion. Tag words will be added to determine the
direction of the Rotation.
X = Rotation away from Pass Strength.
Z = Rotation to Pass Strength.
Y = Rotation to the Closed Side (TE).
SPLIT = Rotation to the Open Side (SE).
SHORT = Rotation to the Short Side (Away from the Husky Call).

Coverage Digits
Even Digits are 2 Deep or ¼, ¼, ½ Coverage.
4 ¼, ¼, ½ 3 Under, Weak side Rotation

Odd Digits are Rotation Coverage’s

3 3 Deep 4 Under Rotation to Strength

5 2 Deep 5 Under Rotation to Strength
7 ¼, ¼, ½ 3 Under Rotation to Strength
12
 Double Digits with Front
STRONG = Even to Odd (MO)
WEAK = Odd to Even (MO)
CLOSED = Even (PRO) to Odd (SLOT/TWINS)

BENCH = Odd (Pass Strength to Field (Husky Call) to Even (FSL)
STRONG: Front is set to Pass Strength.
