Setting up your players for success is the number one priority a coach needs to have on game day. The plays below are some of the best ways that college coaches put their players in the best position to succeed on the field in Week 3 of the college football season.

1. PA Gator Slugo

In a nail biting game with the Kentucky Wildcats, the Florida Gators needed to do everything they could to get their players in the end zone in order to win the game.

The first touchdown of the day had a beautiful play design.

The Gators kept both the tight end and the running back in for pass protection in order to provide as much time as possible to throw the ball.

After the play action fake to the running back, the inside receiver does an out-and-up route toward the outside of the end zone.

Freddie Swain found himself wide open with this route in the first quarter of the game to put his team up top and secure the first touchdown of the game.

2. PA Tiger Strike

In LSU's exciting game against Texas, LSU used this play to get a crucial touchdown in the fourth quarter.

3. Razorback Wrecking Ball

The funnest play of the week was definitely Arkansas' 68 yard passing touchdown to their tight end how wrecked through every single tackle that the defense tried to deliver.

Not only was it an amazing athletic feat, but it was also an awesome play design. As the quarterback and running back show run with a play action fake, the inside routes each circle around to the outside through an out-and-up route, while the outside receivers converge on the middle with 10 yard in routes.

Watch the video of this play to see the amazing tackle breaking ability of the Arkansas tight end once he catches the ball on the left sideline at the top of his out-and-up route.
