Pass Defense Tips - Finding a Blitz

How to Find a Blitz in College Football 26

No matter how strong your coverage is, it won’t hold up forever if the quarterback has all day to throw. That’s why adding a reliable blitz or pressure scheme is key to throwing off your opponent’s rhythm and forcing mistakes.

Mike Will 2

Mike Will 2 is a consistent blitz play found in the 3-3-5 Stack formation. It’s designed to bring quick B-gap pressure from the right side, helping you get fast sacks and force the quarterback into rushed decisions.

How to set up Mike Will 2

To run this blitz effectively:

  • Turn off Auto Flip in your coaching adjustments before the play.
  • Call Mike Will 2 from the 3-3-5 Stack formation.
  • Show blitz
  • Spread the defensive line
  • Blitz all linebackers.
  • (Optional) Back off your outside corners if you want extra cushion against quick throws.

As the user:

  • Control the left of screen linebacker and all him to run forward at the snap for a few steps to sell the blitz, then drop into coverage over the middle to help against quick passes.

Tip: Mix it into your gameplan

Don’t rely on this blitz every down — but work it into your defensive scheme to keep your opponent on their heels. The more pressure they feel, the more likely they are to make a mistake.
