NCAA Football 13 Defensive Tip (3-4 Predator Cover 1 Lurk)

For our first defensive video tip in NCAA Football 13, we are going to go over a fairly simple and easy play to set up.  It isn’t designed to be used repeatedly but if you mix it into a scheme it can be quite effective.

Formation: 3-4 Predator

Play: Cover 1 Lurk

Setup:

  1. Spread D-line
  2. Blitz MLB in yellow zone and place him between the guard and center

You should see some decent pressure coming up the middle from your defensive end if you set it up correctly.  Try it out in practice mode first.
