The future of option football is power, versatility, difficulty to defend, stealth with precision & rule-based simplicity

The Ultimate Fusion of Power and Precision

Introducing the Tex-Bone Offense, a revolutionary system that  seamlessly combines the grit of a traditional triple option with the  versatility of a modern spread, creating a Texas-sized challenge that  leaves defenses scrambling.


  1. Unmatched Power: The Tex-Bone is the first and only  option system that uses the Power Run as its core play, ensuring  relentless ground dominance.
     
  2. Infinite Versatility: With the ability to execute  from any formation imaginable, the Tex-Bone adapts effortlessly, keeping  defenses guessing at every turn.
     
  3. Predictable Yet Unpredictable: While predictable  defensive alignments against spread formations reveal their strategies,  the Tex-Bone keeps the ball's destination a mystery, heightening the  challenge for any opponent.
     
  4. Stealth with Precision: Utilizing the Pistol  Formation, the Tex-Bone conceals its pitch direction until the last  moment, deceiving defenses with flawless finesse.
     
  5. Rule-Based Simplicity: Engineered for aggressive  execution, the Tex-Bone's rule-based system eliminates confusion from  defensive tactics, equipping players with a streamlined set of  techniques to master the entire playbook.
     

Experience an offense that is as hard to defend as it is easy to  learn. Built with answers for every challenge, the Tex-Bone Offense is  the perfect choice for those who seek domination on the gridiron.  Embrace the future of football.

 Coach Austin did a great job in sharing the teaching points that make the scheme/system work. As a defensive coach, I can see the issues we'd have getting ready to defend this scheme.

Greg Privott - Head Coach Northampton County HS

 The Power play has been a traditional headache for defenses. To put it in a triple option play - out of spread . . . Innovative. Adapting and tweaking double wing Superpower into the spread - genius! Love how with this tweaked old school power football into the spread, and have seemingly put a real smash mouth persona into your version of the spread. And, the versatility can still be present to integrate air raid, run and shoot, RPO's, and other spread concepts into the system. Coach Austin places the details you need to make things work optimally.
