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.
