This runner gets his whole team in front of him as he goes right for great yardage.

Time out as Mama Coach tells her team what she wants them to do.

This Bronco runner stays just out of reach of the defensive player.

The handoff by Angelo Zepeda to Garcia eats up more ground and puts the Broncos close to the goal line.

After the handoff, quarterback Zepeda blocks an oncoming tackler for the Raiders.

The Raiders can run, too.

Theories of Coaching

Friday, 09 October 2015 04:13 By Tom Hartsock Sun Correspondent

An Evolution of Thoughts

Theories, whether scientific or not, are merely ideas and opinions. They are not FACT! A fact is that which can be proven over and over again, even through different circumstances. For instance, the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west in a pattern that may only change slightly depending on where you are on the planet. It may not rise directly to the east or set in a straight line to the west because of the changing locations of the rotation of earth, but the general fact remains true, regardless.
