Concept Layering

Lincoln Riley's Screen Game

Lincoln Riley displayed a principle that I’ve been preaching in all the books I wrote. It’s called “Concept Layering” which starts with the base building block of your offense and stacks layers of nuance and complexity to that play.

One of the tope running plays that Lincoln Riley used at Oklahoma and continues to use at USC is GT Counter. The Concept Layering comes in that ways he dresses up GT Counter or how he uses GT Counter to pull the eyes of the defense in order to run something else.

This GT Counter Screen Sequence is a Master Class in Concept Layering!
