Boise State: Behind the Scenes and on the Field

Boise State and TCU. Both of these teams are very successful non-BCS teams. Going into this game, Boise had a 65-game home-winning streak, they hadn’t lost in Boise in more than 13 years when I rolled into town. As a fan, I was not only excited to see the blue turf field, but also to see the creative offenses that both teams employ. From a coaching perspective, I focused on two aspects of their program:

  • Their pre-game routine the day before the game
  • Their impressive shift game

Video: Take Advantage of Your Front Line’s Agility

Springfield High (Ill.) School has developed a reputation for their quick moving offense that’s able to pick up big chunks of yardage in a short amount of time. The Senators aren’t afraid to sling it around and they’re very familiar with empty backfield sets. This season Springfield has developed a running attack that’s the best they’ve had in years. It helps to have dynamic backs like Malik Harrison, with his great speed, and the very elusive Chase Thompson. It also helps that they have some ground movers on the offensive line that are as good at run blocking as they are at protecting the quarterback.

Hudl Camera Recommendations

We get asked all the time: “What kind of camera should I use with Hudl?” The answer depends on whether or not you’re going to use Hudl to capture game video as it’s happening, or if you’re planning on loading video in to Hudl after the game is over. Either way, we’ve got you covered. Below you will find a list of reasonably priced cameras that’ll work in either live capture or post-game situations.

Video: Breakdown of Coach Joe Reed’s Win vs. Pleasant Plains

Offensive Coordinator Joe Reed and the Athens football team went into halftime last week during their game against Pleasant Plains 6 - 0. Pleasant Plains was playing strong, and they hadn’t been able to get anything past them. 

The second half gave the Warriors a chance to redeem themselves. So what happens when you’re down 8 - 7 in the 4th quarter, and you need a big play to get your team into opponent territory to score?

Four Benefits to Bringing Video into Your Classroom

Football is only part of my job. I teach Advanced Sports Performance, Exercise Science, and weight training classes at my high school.

Video is honest evidence of where improvements need to happen not only on the field, but also in the classroom.

Have You Switched to Google Chrome Yet?

Your Web browser is one of the most important pieces of software on your computer. It’s most likely the first thing you click when you fire up your machine and the place where you’ll spend the most time while you’re on the internet. There are multiple browser options, but not all are created equal.

Hudl will support several browsers: IE7, IE8, IE9, Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome. Chrome came into the picture in 2008, and has been our browser of choice ever since. It has essentially changed the way people can view the Web.

Here are five reasons we recommend Google Chrome:
