When you’re playing with Tempo, one of the best things you can do is use Formation into the Boundary (FIB). When you combine FIB with Tempo the defense will struggle with pre-snap alignment. Bowling Green lined up in Trey (TE Trips) to the Boundary and ran Toss Power Read Back to the Field, but instead of having the QB run Power, they pulled the TE and used a Power Shovel Pass.

QB Reads the Field 5 Technique for Toss or Shovel
Most Shovel Passes go to an H-Back who is off the line of scrimmage, but I love the idea of pulling a TE. I think it creates problems for the defense because they aren’t able to identify that TE as a “Sniffer” and roll they safeties accordingly. Toss Power Read + Shovel is a great way to keep your QB out of between the tackles run schemes.
