Hudl Columns

The document provides descriptions of the columns used in Hudl to categorize information about plays from opponent film. It describes columns for pre-snap information like down, distance, personnel, and formations. It also includes columns for details like motions, shifts, and the strength of the offense. Post-snap columns include designations for the actual play like the run or pass concept, pass protections used, and the results and recipients of plays. The level of detail in the Hudl columns allows for breakdowns and sorting of film by various offensive and defensive criteria.

Hudl Columns

BASICS:

Opp – Opponent we are playing

Play # - Number of play in opponent film (This is used in practice intercuts)

Qtr – Quarter game is in

Series – Series number for the offense

DN – Down

Dist – Distance to go

First Play – This designates the first play of the offensive series (I think these calls are different than 1st
down calls after gaining a first down), designated with a Y in the column

Play After – This designates any 2nd and Long distance (7+), whether it is a run or a pass. We place an R
(Run) or P (Pass) in this column only on this down and distance. There is a very strong tendency we can
get from this position.

Yd Line – When the offense is on their side of the field, the yard line is designated with a negative. When
the offense is on our side of the 50, it is positive

Gn/Ls – This establishes the outcome of the play, Gain or Loss

Hash – this is designated from a defensive standpoint

Play Type – Run or Pass

PRE-SNAP OFFENSIVE BASED:

Personnel – Offensive personnel (10, 11, 12, 21, etc.)

Form Tree – Wide Receivers to each side Ex: 3x1, 2x2, 2x1

Off Form – Offensive formation – This is the alignment of the OL, TE’s and WR’s. This is put in AFTER any
motions or shifts. So formation offense is in when ball is snapped

Backfield – Again, when ball is snapped. I keep this separate so I can easily sort by formation first then
backfield. Also helps with protection based on where back goes. Ex: A Strong, Pistol, Pistol Strong (2
Backs), I, I Wk

Shift – Any shift by any player is here. Ex: A Jump, Y Trade

Motion – Any motion in the play before snap. Ex: HAC (H WR across formation), ZIN (Z WR motions in
but not across center), YJM (Y TE starts across but comes back to home position.
Off Str – Offensive Strength – Normally to side of TE. I don’t necessarily use this column, but Hudl has to
have it for breakdowns.

Play Dir – Direction play goes, right or left. I don’t use but Hudl needs for some reports

POST-SNAP OFFENSIVE BASED:

Off Play – Actual play

Run Ex: PwrO, PwrG, Toss, etc.

Pass Ex:

o Number Based – 22-22 A Arr (slant, slant (Ball) Slant, Slant, Tailback (A) Arrow)
o Word Based – SltSlt-SltSlt A Arr
o Concept Based – All Slt A Arr

Protections – We count the as follows: 711

 1st number – total people in protection


 2nd number - # of backs in protection
 3rd Number - # TEs in protection

Result – If pass, was it Complete (COM), Incomplete (INC), Scramble Complete (SCC), Scramble
Incomplete (SCI), Interception (INT)

Position – Who carried the ball or who caught the ball

Gap – Which Gap did ball run through

Pass Zone – Which pass area did was ball thrown to
