In this Quick Hit, Kyle and Matt break down how the Tennessee Volunteers use the Dart run concept with an H-back to solve issues that arise against odd fronts. This episode focuses on film study and schematic insights from Tennessee’s approach to Dart, highlighting how adding a blocking back helps seal the alley and climb to the second level.
You’ll see breakdowns of how different defenses react, where the Volunteers succeed or fall short, and how “hat for a hat” blocking rules create efficiency in the run game—even if not every play is a home run.
